"The Romney campaign has to get turned around. This week I called it incompetent, but only because I was being polite. I really meant 'rolling calamity'," wrote Peggy Noonan.

Can't believe I'm looking forward to the debates. I need to get a life.
Neither guy will say anything worth hearing.

Are you trolling again James? I can't believe you're endorsing Obama.
This place is going to suck for the next month and a half.
I dunno. Lots of memorable bites have occurred over the years.
I'm expecting both men to come off sounding like clueless dweebs, except Obama will lie his ass off and Romney will spend the whole time whining.

Romney will be the dweeb, Obama the cool cat. As far as lying goes...they're politicians.
If Romney could just, for five seconds, get Americans to laugh with him instead of at him, he'd win.
But he won't: they won't: and he'll lose the ballot between the two most useless candidates ever.
If Willard had lost Jimmy, the end is surely near!
Mitt's already lost Bill.
Jack CashillThe other day I received my weekly missive from Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan, in which she informed me and the world that "the Romney campaign has to get turned around." She added helpfully, "This week I called it incompetent, but only because I was being polite. I really meant 'rolling calamity.'" The media loved this column and repeated it widely. Their goal is to depress the Republican vote. Noonan's goal, apparently, is to get attention.
Noonan got a lot of it in October 2008, when she wrote the following giddy nonsense about Barack Obama:
Noonan is hardly unique among what I would call the "lace curtain right." Despite their resources and exposure, they offer no new information. They allow the left to determine what is news and what is not. And they are much more comfortable scolding their shanty right-wing allies than they are scolding their enemies.He has within him the possibility to change the direction and tone of American foreign policy, which need changing; his rise will serve as a practical rebuke to the past five years, which need rebuking; his victory would provide a fresh start in a nation in which a fresh start would come as a national relief.
I was in Washington Thursday for an Accuracy in Media conference, in which I gave a talk on the subject of lace curtain obstructionism. There I met a high-level strategist who, over drinks, ripped the Romney campaign up and down. When I asked him what he thought of Romney's choice for vice president, he expressed displeasure. He preferred Condoleezza Rice to Paul Ryan, which made me wonder whether he or Noonan or any of these great thought thinkers had met, in the last half-century or so, a Republican who lived west of 495.
All of this put me in mind of George Thomas, easily the Union's most successful and humane Civil War general....
