President Obama did not lose, he won. It was not all that close. There was enthusiasm on his side. Mitt Romney’s assumed base did not fully emerge, or rather emerged as smaller than it used to be. He appears to have received fewer votes than John McCain. The last rallies of his campaign neither signaled nor reflected a Republican resurgence. Mr Romney’s air of peaceful dynamism was the product of a false optimism that, in the closing days, buoyed some conservatives and swept some Republicans. While GOP voters were proud to assert their support with lawn signs, Democratic professionals were quietly organizing, data mining and turning out the vote. Their effort was a bit of a masterpiece; it will likely change national politics forever. Mr. Obama was perhaps not joyless but dogged, determined, and tired.
Apart from those points, everything in my blog post of Nov. 5 stands.

I'll drink to that.
Even if you don't, she already has, bless her heart.
ok (*schlorrrrrp*)
Because shut up.
Where can I purchase one of these Make-Your -Own-Reality kits?
You need to assemble it piecemeal at a couple of locations: your drugstore, the local liquor emporium…
Get a Vicodin and OxyContin prescription then inhale them like candy with a gin chaser.
I would like to "get" one of those, without again going through reconstructive surgery.
It's tons cheaper, and cleaner.
(and do the alcohol first, and wait fifteen minutes, also).

lol! Just buy all that crap! Eventually it takes over your ability to reason, and that's when you just give into the The Great Stupid.
I can haz crap?
Stuff. It is stuff you want.
I do kind of want this inflatable thingy for when I'm feeling punchy/kicky/stabby/votey. http://www.gopstore.com/cgi-bin/rnc/II101.html
Free stuff!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
That's gotta be my favorite.
"Why yes. Yes it is."
Can you still order those? I'd buy one… now.
Yes, We Can! Unfortunately, it will put you on the donor list for the GOP forever, and I don't think I can bear that. And it would also mean donating to the GOP, and I just can't do it, not even $2.
What? No Romney/Ryan merch? Not even in the clearance bin?
2 tons of Re-elect Romney/Ryan 2016 promotional merchandise. We'll pay you $50.00 cash if you'll pick it up late at night when no one is watching. Donate it to a charity and take the tax write-off based on the retail price, the original stickers are still attached.
Thanks for the accounting tip, Mrs. Ryan.
Also, several dozen 60' x 20' "Congratulations, President-Elect Romney" signs.
Callyson, when I first saw the "Are you better off than you were $4 trillion ago?" sticker, I misread it and didn't notice the dollar sign. I thought, "Well gee, some wingnut actually believes in the big bang, even if they got the age off."
Of course, I was wrong.

Oh Dame Peggington, you really should start having a little food first before your morning eye-opener…
Vicodin plus Tanqueray = short-term memory loss… with votes.
I'm telling ya, I was talking to the missus and her cuz while Peggington was on the teevee machine this morning, and I glanced over and quickly became convinced that she'd spent all the time from the result becoming apparent Tuesday night and her appearance on FTN drowning her sorrows in several bottles of gin. I watched Flight last night, so I also figured she probably did a couple of lines of coke to get herself up enough for the cameras.
After this, Lady Peggington needs a new moniker. I suggest Retrograde Ejaculation.
Sounds like a fancier name for santorum.

This is good news for Romney.
Finally, a valid conspiracy.
Even better news for John McCain.
Surely this will buoy his poll numbers!
Republican operatives don't like to rub elbows with "those people", preferring instead to mail them professionally written and photographed propaganda. And make expensive commercials that cause much mirth among those who have not swallowed the Kooldaid.
Obama's ground troops ARE "those people", and happily rubbed elbows- and perhaps other parts as well- with anyone, anywhere, anytime- if it got them to vote D.
Except for being totally wrong, I was right. Bitches
Get that woman a Sunday talk show!
Give her even more money for her perceptive anaylsis!
I meant to do that.
From her Nov. 5 article that she links to: "Is it possible this whole thing is playing out before our eyes and we’re not really noticing because we’re too busy looking at data on paper instead of what’s in front of us? Maybe that’s the real distortion of the polls this year: They left us discounting the world around us."
That is so completely and perfectly wrong that I doubt anybody can find a more beautiful example of wrongness in all the recorded punditry prior to the election. That is wrongness with fucking prescient precision. That is Godlike wrongness.
No one could have foreseen….
"I would've been right if I hadn't been so wrong."
She would have known better if she listened to Country-Western.
That cunt.
Cunt, alright.
That's tellin' 'em, Pegs! Good thing we have your keen grasp of the obvious to depend on for keeping us informed.
Here, have another drink…
the shame of it all is that she appeared on c.b.s. program "face the nation" as an expert on the election. shame on you c.b.s. you must have gotten her appearance cheap. that is why no one pays attention to your expertise anymore.
From her Nov. 5th
All the vibrations are right.
Now I understand.
Those "vibrations" she speaks about, was merely her vibrator she'd forgotten was still in her panties.
What a fuckwit this woman is.
Sybian.
Which is something I heard about from a friend doing research for a term paper.
They're not normally considered portable, but she manages.
You know, I really don't want to picture Pegs on a Sybian.

What, nothing about chakras? I was told that there would be charkas.
"I see now that there were more Mexicans in the country than that one fellow I saw from my apartment that time. Interesting."
- Peggy Noonan
"I see now that there were more Mexicans in the country than that one fellow I saw falling from my apartment building on window-washing day. Interesting."
/fixed
"I see now that there were more Mexicans in the country than that one I hit with my car on the way to the 9 AM Happy Hour. Hic!."
I thought, "There is no way Schoenkopf is representing this accurately."
I thought, "Noonan is going for some kind of half-assed literary mea culpa where she destroys her previous analysis with statements of what actually happened, and then tries to pull a "besides that Mrs. Lincoln" thing."
I thought "Wonkette is going soft, this is an amateur mistake."
Then I read Peggington's Noonington.
It . . . not only did Schoenkopf get it right but she responded to it the only way it can be responded to, with ellipses and gibberish, empty air and nonsense, which is what it is.
I mean: "We are a center-right country, but the Republican Party over the next few years will have to ponder again what center-right means."
Howsa . . . gurgalish?
centre-right my fucking arse!
As we Brits say…
Nailed it!….
You come here for teh fair and balanced, correct?
. . . no? I can't actually tell what this is supposed to mean. I was worried the calibration in the Wonkette snark cannons was off and that they misunderstood what they were aiming at, which doesn't happen a whole lot. They Get It, and when they don't it's jarring. But no, Lady Dolphinhamshire really did drive herself to those heights of ponce, without even chancing the sight of a Mexican.
"Both Sides Do It" should be pronounced mockingly, if that helps, and if it doesn't looking at my profile thing should.
I'm sorry, you got me wrong. Just as I did with another commenter very recently–easy to do. 'Fair and balanced' meaning obviously a sarcastic nod to FOX, but also to what you alluded to in Ms. Schoenkopf's representation of the facts. This is a satire/left-leaning site, sorry if calling it 'fair and balanced' threw you. I won't look at your profile because I don't give a shit, but Honestly, I didn't mean to offend.
Oh no worries, happens all the time. I thought that might've been it and then didn't include it, for some reason. Sorry for jumping down your throat.
One bad thing about Nooners' gibberish is you want to rhetorically hit something, and can't, because the fuck you gonna do, she did it all for you.
As one of the British newspapers once claimed "The USA has a centre-right party, and a reactionary party".
"Everything I wrote was 100% correct, except for those fucking nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. You must admit, the articles and punctuation were right on the money."
"every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the'." — Mary McCarthy, about Lillian Hellman
Come on. I'd trust the veracity of Editrix over that gin-soaked wordsmith any day of the week. And, no, before you ask, those two figures are not one and the same.
Have that many hispanics registered to vote? Yes Peggy they have and the republicans are going to need more than Marco to overcome the problems.
Ease off Peggers–she touched a Mexican once.
The only way I see than happening is a pool boy she paid for the privilege.
Show me on my penis where she touched you.
Oh Pegs, it might be a good time to lay off the Vicodin and Gin and admit when you're wrong because this just makes it fun for the rest of us as we get to hound you when you play the denial game.
Ah gin. That's what must be in the 'November Fifth'.

I think it’s Romney. I think he’s stealing in “like a thief with good tools,” in Walker Percy’s old words.
Well, the employees of the businesses that went under after Bain acquired them and loaded their companies down with debt so that they could cash in on them would agree with Noonan on that much…

Box wine is a helluva drug.

Pro tip:3 liter boxes are easier to lug around.
Romney ends most rallies with his story of the Colorado scout troop that in 1986 had an American flag put in the space shuttle Challenger, saw the Challenger blow up as they watched on TV, and then found, through the persistence of their scoutmaster, that the flag had survived the explosion. It was returned to them by NASA officials. When Romney, afterward, was shown the flag, he touched it, and an electric jolt went up his arm.
I'm sure the friends and family members of the people who fucking *died* when the Challenger exploded are so very happy for Mittens…
/for fuck's sake
I hope that flag was properly grounded, otherwise Mittens may have shorted out.
With votes, of course.
"NellCote71 has not yet written a personal description." It's OK. That great photo is enough.

How will this be retconned in 2016 for Santorum? Swap "Benghazi" for "Challenger"?
If I may:
"Romney ends…" should be "Romney ended…"
Don't you just love the sound of "Romney ended?"

I was flipping around and saw this pee-crusted old twat bloviating on Faux about how it would be nice, for a change, for Barry to show some humility and offer a bit of compromise with the R's. My first thought is: he is the most powerful and important man in the entire fucking world, so just suck on that, Peggy. Second, the R's are and have always been totally inflexible on any tax increases on the wealthy-period. Third, why would anyone pay any attention to anything this worn-out old piece of ass had to say on any topic other than bedsores or hangover cures?
….pee-crusted old twat …..
He he.
If the panties fit, she's full of shit.
I upfitsted as soon As I read that.
Fourth, the national popular vote for the House actually went Democratic. Fifth, it is hard to compromise with people when they turn against policies they previously supported after a Democrat proposes them. Sixth, we have no incentive to cooperate with the GOP when they use that cooperation against us in future elections (just ask Max Cleland about that.)
/seventh, FFS.
Max got fucked big-time: Nam, Hearings, campaigns and Commission Appointments. His nick-name should be “Lucky”.
Seventh, Where the Fuck was Dame Dipshit when Obama all but bent himself to the right to try and secure just a couple of GOP votes and repeatedly got the Charlie Brown and the football treatment. Remember all the efforts at compromise in healthcare, for example, where GOP assholes like Alexander from Tennessee and Barasso from Wyoming got all the stupid amendments they wanted, then turned around and wouldn't support the bill in cloture votes? Or House leadership's two step of claiming to want to work on jobs then offering only denunciations of public work ideas like the capital investment bank even the Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO can both agree is an awesome idea?
Apparently gin blackouts can cover full presidential terms. Fucker.
Reality has come a-calling…..just wait.
Nobody pays any attention to her. She went two off ramps past Relevant a few years ago.
But they still book her!Sent from the Field, not in Garrison.
I propose a New Drink, The Noonington:
Absinthe — for the memory erasing.
Angostura bitters — for the 2012 electoral reaming.
Saccharine — for empathy for the 47%.
and Cream — for the Reagan memories.
Mix together in a banned 32-oz Big Gulp cup, for freedom. Serve over ice, for the when-hell-freezes-over time that the Rethuglican party will have any relevance at all to the world of reality.
Garnish with a handful of Vicodin, Xanax and Oxy.
For the Happy Holidays I suggest adding a splash of bourbon & a dash of nutmeg.
She and her best drinky buddy Diane Sawyer will just love those mem.
With the rim of the cup dipped in crushed Vicodin.
You sure she's not an oxycontin girl?
For a delightful South Of The Border variation, in honor of the Mexicans Noonie-Tunes must now entice (renouncing all of the Great White Ideals she had shilled in her precious, sub-undergraduate prose stylings): Substitute 2 shots of Patrón and a dash of laudanum for the bitters and saccharin. The Tijuana Nooner!
Eso es justo lo suficientemente loco como para trabajar!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what happens when your modern GOP deals with reality. Staring drunkenly at a page of "My Pet Goat" seems like better crisis management than this.
Shit, staging an Arabian horse show in response to Katrina (the only thing Brownie was actually qualified to do) would have been better than Romney's team of parasitic insiders from Boston (and shouldn't it have been a clue that his entire brain trust was based in a town he'd never win and had no one who could relate to the GOP base?)
I wonder how many MBAs Romney had relative to the number of community activists and analytic wonks – I'm guessing the ratio is about 10000:1 (one intern who tried to complain ORCA needed more testing).
Maybe she was roofied.
Why would anyone do that?
Like Willard does with the dogs?
For the last thirty years?
On a roof.
Self-administered.
Speaking of drugs; now that my state has legalized marijuana, I might smoke some just for watching your avatar scrolling up and down.
Didn't see that one coming, rasta boy…
Remember, remember, the Fifth of November,
Just more BS from that twat….
Surprising how one good speech–hell, one good metaphor ("thousand points of light")–can be parlayed into a whole career if you're better looking than Mrs General Petraeus and have an open mind about oral sex.
I had not heard this about Noonie. Who did she supposedly blow? I will shamefully admit she had a certain Diane-on-Cheers annoying attractiveness as a young Reaganite Ninny.
According to a long past and now deleted Wonkette post. She was sexing up Boehner in a wine bar.
I call shenanigans; as much as that weeping orange pansy drinks, he wouldn't be able to pop one if you shoved a bushel basket of v1agra directly into his shriveled old nutsack.
Ugh.
Merely idle, sexist speculation, alas. The Fawn Halls and Sally Quinns of the world are sometimes only accidentally attractive. Saint Ronnie of Santa Barbara would never have cheated on Mommie, of course, but Jim Baker and Don Regan might have been a bit more inclined to “take their reards.”
It wasn't her mind that was open about oral sex, but you're close geographically speaking.
Here's one more old groaner: Petraeus had said that she had the nicest smile he'd ever come across.
Orally speaking.
"Remember, remember, the Fifth of November,
Just more BS from that twat…. "
I see no reason the GOP's treason should ever be forgot.
She is positive that her meal of crow, is the pan roasted squab with fig that she ordered.
Served on fine China, with a nettle-flax napkin to wipe the spittle from her trembling lips.
Consoling herself with a glass of boxed wine that she imagines to be a chardonnay of an exclusive vintage.
Hey, it's a Republifreeforall out there this week – Peggers did get it right about Bronco, though – he did look tired the whole season, kind of like he had to campaign AND be the President at the same time, I dunno….
Just guessing, but you may be on to something. Probably didn't get much sleep thinking about the nightmarish legacy he'd leave if he actually lost to a robot, either.
I would also speculate that it must be kind of depressing, for a guy who so obviously would like to achieve some kind of bipartisan progress, to have to realize, day after day, just how many intransigent assholes there are on the right, both politicians and among the general public.
During the campaign, hardly a comment thread went by without a Wonker asking the rhetorical "How the fuck can this be so close?". I imagine that the same thought crossed Bamz's mind at least occasionally.
Shorter Noonington: Blather, Reince, and Defeat.
Barry, barry good.

Mr Romney’s air of peaceful dynamism was the product of a false optimism
You know, there's Compositionism 101ism out there in the isms. Ism.
Also, too, what the fuck is an "air of peaceful dynamism?"
You know, to be slightly dynamically peaceful. (kinda peaceful on so many levels?) Practically Buddah? Definitely not statically peaceful, whoever the fuck that is.
Sounds like she's consulting a true dinosaur dictionary..
Maybe even one on paper, with those little indentions with the letters on them?
I'd forgotten about the little indentations!
I LOVE the little indentations!
Now I haz a sad. Kids today will never know that look and feel, will they? And the thin paper with the gold edges.
Dictionary.com is not the same.
Statically peaceful == Breitbart.
Sure, if you can call blowing dust farts peaceful. But static, also.
Is it the same as "temper"? Cuz that's what Her Imperial Highness, Queen Ann, said he has.
More like "distemper", like the roof dog got from being endlessly blown. Not as much fun as it sounds like.
It's that perpetual smirk on the asshat's face. Like the one he had on election day when he decided to put up the inauguration web site before winning the election. Estupido comemierda!
I never thought I would hate a smirk more than Shrub's.
I believe that's Nooningtonese for 'smug, self-satisfied obliviousness'.
It is the sound of one hand clapping.
"Peaceful Dynamism": that beatific head-swaying smile achieved with a perfectly balanced combo of morphine and speed, accented with the occasional whiff of ether.
It's what you get when you're a robot and your settings are "non-confrontational" yet "in charge." Only you have been programmed by a bunch of wankers.
That's a off course under the Americanism Major….
Perhaps the Republican vibrations gave her an orgaism.
"orgaism"
Did you mean to type "orgasm", as in climax, or "organism", as in yeast infection?
Origamism, where you fold her up like a paper airplane and toss her out the window.
Originalism, with intent.
Thatsit, write a sentence that contains "ism."
"What's that on Noonan's chin, J-ism?"
Her nose = hubris-m.
This bitch is supposed to be able to write, isn't she? "False optimism" connotes "the misleading appearance of optimism, when there is no real optimism". I doubt that's what she meant. Hell, I don't even think it was the case. Rmoney's misplaced, or erroneous, or unsupported optimism was, IMO, real optimism.
I'm not even an English major, and I can tell that's wrong usage.
I won't even approach "peaceful dynamism".
"Peaceful dynamism" sounds like one of those phrases you say when you don't have anything else to say, sort of like "He looks so natural" at open casket visitations…
Apart from those points? I read that fucking blog post where she was ready to simply anoint the Republican and demand the little people bow down to him. Then she knew it all the time? This bitch should go back to writing crap books about the pope. The current one would probably be just her kind of anachronistic king of the world, but in sillier clothes than James Cameron at the Oscars.
And I hate the way she pouts as she talks, presumably to sound like an aristo.
And thanks for the weekend wonkette, dear leader.
"Mr. Obama was perhaps not joyless but dogged, determined, and tired."
Well, who wouldn't be tired after 18 months of her drivel and nonsense.
Ms. Noonan is yet another person who has "driven past the last exit for relevance."
Mr. Trump was not pleased by Mr. William's comment. He tweeted about it. That will show the lamestream media.
NBC should fire him.
That irrelevance highway must be a traffic jam these days…
Yet she'll be showing up on the "major" networks, because she adds so much to the conversation.
Apparently the main requirement for a conservative pundit, to provide "balance", is that they don't stab themselves with the ink pens while on camera.
The dissonance is strong in this one.
These are not the electoral predictions you're looking for.
"The dissonance is strong in this one. "
And the cognition is weak…
"The dissonance is strong in this one."
And the BAC high.
Stand your ground, Pegs. Stand on the steps of your Tara and declare that someone, somewhere, someday will again give a shit what you say because you made them do it before, and tomorrow's another… well, and there's a couple of beefy prescriptions upstairs that will never let you down.
From Ms. Nooner –
"There is no denying the Republicans have the passion now, the enthusiasm. The Democrats do not." – 11/5/12
Prescience is not her strong suit, but she can sure lie her fat, scaby ass off..
"Selective memory" is a Republican strong suit…
So is scabies.
Like many she confused Sub-Psychotic rage for "passion and entusiasm
"Sub"? Too generous by half.
Pretty sure that's flat, scabby ass, but I'm trying not to look at this too closely…
Scabby from scabies?
Meh. Repubitards can't even get the past right. They should give up on the future.

Ah, Maggie Smith. I'm gonna miss that old crone when she plays her final act. Probably pretty soon, too. She's getting up there.
If you count lawn signs instead of electoral votes, Rmoney wins, so there.
Especially if you consider the sheer acreage available for lawn signs in the red states, which I am assured in many a spittle-flecked wingnut screed means that they should be running the country, not those "small pockets of blue."
Especially if you only count Rmoney lawn signs.
Oh! Thanks for reminding me; I've gotta grab one of those Rmoney signs off somebody's lawn for a souvenir. Hang it up in my shop right next to the Ross Perot, Nader and Bo Gritz signs.
Good luck with that. All my neighbour's signs were gone by the time I got home from work on Wednesday afternoon.

“We begin with the three words everyone writing about the election must say: Nobody knows anything. Everyone’s guessing”
The Obama Re-election team and Nate Silver would like to respectfully disagree.
"Respectfully"?
i cannot respect them, but civilized behavior is always good.
If dialogue with fascists fails, what is to be done?
Best Wishes, with Respect.
Nate Silver probably (95% certainty) said that pundits survive because there's no penalty for being wrong.
John Stewart definitely did in regards to Dick Morris – as he called it, "a game of musical chairs where no one ever loses their chair".
So sometimes things that are highly probable don't happen. If they had ten elections, Romney would've won one of them!
It's OK, Peggy, we're laughing WITH you.
NOT.
Quaint way of admitting that one was totally wrong. Not just wrong, but Dick Morris wrong.
Peggy? Ronny says it's bedtime for bozo.
Romney’s slipping into the presidency. He’s quietly rising, and he’s been rising for a while.
Sure. But then he fell very quickly.
And very publicly.
Sounds like cooking a souffle in the percussion section of the band. Not. A. Good. Idea, Peggy. When they fire your ass as a "pundit" don't apply for a job as a TV cook.
Sounds like he's been making boring Mormon love to the presidency.
Sounds like Peggers has been grinding on his noodle since the Convention, trying to get a rise out of the both of them.
"Although I blissfully assumed our football team would win the big game, after the humiliating loss I loudly noonaned that I thought they were a buncha losers all along."
I was right about everything except the score and the stats!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it.
Her name really needs to be a verb now – "to completely mislead about one's own prior utterances", or something…
Or a noun. A frothy mixture of lube and worthless shit.
In other words, a synonyn for "to Rubin".
That's a nice dissection. On Oct 31, she was still spouting the blather.
But, I think "to rubin" should refer to intentionally misleading your readers by "blatantly and counterfactually shilling" for a candidate. Thus, in the linked article, J-Rube is actually noonaning her readers about the fact that she was rubining them for months.
I appreciate the clarification. So many fine shades of meaning required to fully describe the way disingenuous hacks lie to their readers.
Who knew?
Also, "to Romney"
Your idea suggests LOTS of possibilities for adding political names to the lexicon:
romneyed – taking a position 180 degrees opposite of what you said 2 weeks ago
roved – using numbers that you made up to argue for a position which is demonstrably false
Ryaned – missing in action.
Ryan (verb) To smirk in a way who makes everybody who sees it want to punch your lights out.
I thought that was definition #4 for "Romney (verb)"

Good Vibrations, Peggy…?
Assume Noonington dead drunk.
Now that Pegs has declared the Romney campaign dead, the Mormon church can baptize it.
This is another one of Peggy Noonan's "the ice cubes soaked up all of my vodka" moments, isn't it?
Hey, that's happened to me!
Ice in vodka is for wimps, sez Pegs.

Your avatar answers the unthinkable question, what would the issue of Ann Coulter and Marilyn Manson look like? I will never forgive you for this.
Chet, is it too much? My last avatar was a blue gekko.
I await the thoughts of Saint Sarah of Dipshit in Wasilla to confirm this twat's theory.
Lou Sarah was all "Romney is going to win" while the Ohio numbers came in. If she didn't look like a fool before, she sure as shootin' looked like one then. And she is looking more and more like a turkey-necked old lady.
1) I find it difficult to believe that she didn't look like a fool before to anyone who wasn't one.
2) Look at a picture of her from 2008 with the professional grooming. Look at a recent Fux Spews appearance. My. God.
She would like you to believe she got that way through exercise. What she was exercising I will leave up to you to guess.
Her right to party?
Mooselini is congenitally incapable of admitting anything she ever said was wrong. Her take will continue to be that fraud and deceit renders the election invalid.
(Wa)silly bunt.
And by "fraud and deceit" she means "anything my toddler mind doesn't like.
shlobblemorfin ? Is that that nasty shit you get where the only hope is to cut off your doodad? if so, then perhaps it would be prudent not to explore hooking up with mistress Peggy when you find her in the hotel bar at 3 am?

WTF does that even mean?

YES LIBEL!
A seasoned witch has rearranged her liver to the solid mental grace.
In a round about fashion.
That explains Ms. Noonington to a T.
Normally it means "all potted up on weed." but since Romney is a Mormon and don't spark up a j, in this context it means "sociopathic fugue state."
Now sociopathic fugue state I can understand. I saw it every time some republican was on a verbal roll during the last two years.
I’d like you all to appreciate the pure Wingnuttery, untouched by logic, unfettered by sense, unbound by sanity. This is the raw stuff from which everything else in their universe is formed.

Yes. Unbelievably, sanity won.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats! I finally got my power back today. Verizon is supposed to be out tomorrow to restore my wifi and sanity. Remarkably, my Directv worked before anything else, even on generator.
Verizon FIOS came up and running as soon as the electricity returned. Having had it installed in the home and two years later in the office, the clowns still promote the bogus "It has an eight hour battery back up." when said battery backup does nothing unless there is power to run the router. And contrary to what they claim, as soon as the electricity went out the phone dropped also.
We had two poles come down and rip our service right off the house. The Verizon line is in tiny pieces in the yard. They didn't even want to hear from us until the poles were back up (which happened today). Thankfully, they scheduled us to come out the very next day, although we figure they've worked their way down the list at this point post-storm. The biggest pains so far was the half a day spent rewiring the service to the house and the refilling the generator every few hours. So glad that's over.
Best of luck to you.
Yeah. Romney in a landslide. Wait, no, "under a landslide", that was it.
Quite a few Wonkers were asking after you. Glad to see you back.
Glad you came through okay. According to Faux and the Gang Money boo hoo won by losing.
Heyyyy! How goes it?
Glad to have you back, TM. Are YOU still in one piece?
Acting like Peggy Noonan is no way to go through life.
She's definitely got two of three. Is she fat, too?
I want what Pegginton is taking.
When I was young I used to think that a "nooner" was pretty damn good. Now that I'm old, I see that the best I can look forward to is a "noonan" and it isn't worth the effort it takes to unzip. Maybe Hazbeen Mittens can "quietly rise" to that, but I'll pass, thanks.
Assume Peggy plastered.
Assume Noonan nonsensical.
I applaud both of you for your strict adherence to form!
Assume Chet checking.
I love these posts about Republican soul-searching. Start by placing a hand on each buttock and extending outwards.
Goatse libel.
I expect the GOP will be converting all official email addresses to the @GOATSE.cx extension, actually.
I had assumed they would take a few days off for some introspection with regard to WTF ran over them this week. But it appears they've gone super-critical.
It's just a jump to the left.
And then a dump by the Right.
Normally one would start with navel-gazing, but I guess it's best for them to go to the source.
'Taint a big distance to travel
I see twat you did there.
Navels are too clogged with lint and Crisco.
From the column: " Officials knew the storm was coming and everyone knew it would be bad, but the people of the tristate area were not aware, until now, just how vulnerable to deep damage their physical system was. The people in charge of that system are the politicians. Mayor Bloomberg wanted to have the Marathon, to show New York’s spirit. In Staten Island last week they were bitterly calling it “the race through the ruins.” There is a disconnect."
Just substitute GOP in the appropriate places.
Gawd, her prose has a mental age of 18-1/2!! I'll bet Malia and Sasha Obama already write better.

In fact, "shlobblemorfin hoowigah" is the most insightful comment one could make regarding Ms. Nooner's column.
And considerably more insightful than the comments IN said column.
And considerably more insightful than the column. There!
Hey Peggington! Leave some for the rest of us. It IS, you know, Saturday night!
Puff, puff, pass (out).

Piggy was reaching for pundit immortality on November 5th, but all she achieved was a one way ticket to Cal Thomasville
When print journalism dies, do you suppose it will take the current crop of pundits with them?
Please?
Keen eye for the obvious this one, drinky drinky..
The vibrations? If only there were some way ….?
I was not stunned or even particularly surprised by the election results (after all I have access to the Fivethirtyeight). But I am gobsmacked by the stupidity of the rethugagain pundits.
may be she smokes pot, a lot of pot
She should stick to writing romance novels or Reagan's speeches… same thing I guess.
"My fellow Americans. I never thought this would happen to me…"
Made me laugh.
"I sighed contentedly and feebly asked, 'where is that magnificent Electorate?' "
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this bodice!"
"Mr. Reagan, tear off this bodice!"
Damn, you beat me to it.
I'm prepared to take that last sentence as a bit of rueful irony, with the reader left to fill in "In other words, I was completely wrong." But then I've been walking around for four days smiling randomly at surly people, growling dogs, and assorted inanimate objects, so what do I know?
Before the election, I worried about election day being at the start of Mercury being in retrograde.
If you have not been influenced by being around new agey folks, Mercury in Retrograde is a time communications and plans go awry. "Mercury rules your intelligence, mind, memory and, all types of communication ranging from talking and texting to writing. It also rules your self-expression and communication style. In a more public sense, it rules commerce, computers, telephones, transportation and air travel."
I personally am not into astrology, but I normally use Mercury in Retrograde as the catchall excuse for bad days.
The last time an election landed during Mercury in Retrograde was the 2000 election, so I let that thought stew and torture me on election day because nervousness was making me crazy.
Peggy must to get into Astrology. She might find a new excuse. The Reagans had Jeanne Dixon, so it wouldn't be the first time republicans found solace in Astrology.
This election has been going on for years, and Mercury goes retrograde every other month or so.
I thought nature had a way of shutting that down?
Mercury in tuna also provides extended shelf life.
How does Uranus fit into Peggy's sky view?
Pegs, the "vibrations" you felt didn't come from the swelling of independents breaking for Romney; they were the last gasps of your Reagan bobble head to stimulate you to the ecstasy you have never known.
Protip: something battery powered, long and tapered, perhaps mahogany in color.
Nah, the only vibrations she's interested in are that of her Osterizer blender whipping up another batch of drinks to be enjoyed with the little toothpicks through the valium tablets.
Those sound yummy! (I'm stressed)
Being a Republican means never listening to anyone you would prefer to laugh at.

All written by waddling doughy keyboard commandos who would squeal like girls (delightedly?) if General Obama ever actually hove into view accompanied by his terrifying Negro Cavalry Horde.
Gee, thanks!
"President Obama did not lose, he won." It's this kind of inside the beltway inside scoop that makes clear the need for a punditocracy.
Sadly, she will need to re-run that one daily, for months, before it sinks in to a certain segment of the population.
Oh fuck it, here's the thing that gets me about these fucking pundits who convinced themselves Romney was going to win.
You buried your head in the sand, went along with what your friends/colleagues were saying, and when confronted with cold hard reality…
What do you do…
You lie AGAIN. You lie SOME MORE.
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK PEOPLE WILL KEEP PAYING ATTENTION?!?
Right up until the polls close?
Thank fuck! I read the first three lines and got saved by the pay wall.
On the morning after shrub's election, noonington-itis opened her column with these words," savor, savor"… . I guess one in the hand is worth two in the bush -er -got that backwards someone finish that for me, willya?Y'all are much funnier than me.
Your blog post stands in what I wonder Peggington, the river that has passed it by?
Actually her words in the column when W was elected were "Savior, Savior," a reflection of her religious belief that The Shrub was to be the Second Coming, the savior of humankind. She was really drunk that morning, too, also.
Mebbe I'm confusing my memories here, this: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB12246065191715458…
is all I can find now – only one savor, not 2. I'm anal retentive enough to search her posts for the double savor – but I'd get pissed by proxy – never a good thing.
I was informed by a couple of nutters at work that they were going to move to Texas, and succed [sic] from the union.
Perhaps, after a few highballs, the Pegster can help draft their new consitution. The noncommital approach to commitment should leave them some decent wiggle room to act like the menstuating teenagers they are behaving like, of late.
"… menstuating teenagers …"
Oh, god, yes, now that you mention it. I thought I had blotted out of my memory completely those couple of years when my otherwise perfect (before and since) female spawn regularly spun her head around on her neck while shrieking "Well, just never mind!" Slam
My, my, my. I never realized just who was running the right wing empire…
Noonan acknowledges that everything she wrote on November 5 was wrong. That does show a certain class not yet revealed by the likes of Rove, O'Reilly, and Hannity; it shows a certain reality-testing not yet revealed by anyone associated with the likes of Drudge, Erickson, or Carlson.
Having acknowledged that she was wrong, she might reflect on why she was wrong. Because she believed that Obama's was a second-rate mind? Because she felt it didn't matter what women and minorities felt?
Now that would be an interesting column.
Sure, that might happen in Bizzaro World. Somehow she thinks about what minorities and non-barren women feel, and comes to some kind of reasonable conclusion. And then realizes she is wrong.
Then again, Bizarro World Wall Street Journal probably never would have hired her in the first place.
You know, when your head is up your ass, the reasonable approach is to remove it and reassess the situation. Guess Noonan admires the view of her colon too much.
"Guess Noonan admires the view of her colon too much."
And likes the smell of her own ass.
I'm glad that I've already had dinner & didn't have that thought before dinner.
This would go a long way in explaining her shitty outlook. And her breath, too.
Doesn't anyone here get her tongue in cheek admission she was 100% incorrect? The last line regarding "everything else stands" is a joke . . . she just got done saying she was 100% wrong. Get it?
Peggers left out one small factoid.
Gerald Ford was eaten by wolves……..
Well, certainly she was correct about herself- she knew nothing and still doesn't,
May be a case of habeas mittens……
it's like she died in a choose your own adventure book and just decided to go back to the previous page and choose again.

Bottles of champagne, that is. [Hic! Belch.]
From there, the practical challenges. Some of these are referred to as "the woman problem" or "the Hispanic problem"—they presumably don't like the GOP. But maybe they think the GOP doesn't like them. What might be the reasons?
Yes, we must ask the women why it is that, when our party tells them that God wants them to make the most of their little rape-baby, and of this we are so certain that we would legislate their right to do what they want with their bodies out of existence, and that they should stop insinuating that this is somehow taking their rights away, and why don't they humble themselves before The LORD instead of acting like such willful strumpets, we might ask them what strange impulse drove them, entirely without provocation, to shove the letter opener up our ass.
And let's legally force doctors to perform a medically unnecessary, unwanted by the female patient, procedure, while shrieking that Obamacare puts the gummint between patients and their doctors.
And the ungrateful strumpets retaliate by demanding free abortions and as many free birth control pills a day as they want to cover the multiple sex occurrences with every male they can find, because after all, they're women so they are whores!
From Peg's November 5 blog post:
I think they are and I think it’s this: a Romney win.
Got it all right other than that one little thing.
It's hard to say it any better than "shlobblemorfin hoowigah."
That should be the default caption on just about any republican saying just about anything.
What a time for Jim to have one of his Wonkette sabbaticals…
"Nobody knows anything." Project much?
Yabber Dabber Jibber Jabber. It's what I tell the cats.
Whoa- the commenters at WSJ are stupid just the ones on yahoo and WaPo. Of course, we all knew that forced abortions were coming and that distributing American flags in public places will be banned but I didn't know everyone who voted for Obama is on welfare and mostly here illegally. Thank goodness for that Sarah person there who comments a lot -for her insight.
I finally realized that people such as Lady Noonington do indeed deserve a tax cut because they are snow job creators.
Also qualify for disability checks, too. Also.
Everything I said was right, except for the 99 percent of stuff that was wrong. Moving on…
Peggy Noonan:
"Whether I am right or wrong ,it does not matter, I will still be amply renumerated for my bloviations."
Totally OT, but I'm looking over at the political wire on the side of the page, and the first item is "Huntsman for Secretary of State?", a AP mental masturbation piece, and it's driving me up the wall. Just a few days ago the media was musing about perhaps making Mitt fuckin' Romney Treasurer. You know, Mitt "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt/Corporations are People/47%/I'm Unemployed" Romney. Yes, let's put that guy in control of the finances of the United States government.
Only after a Democrat stomps his opponent is there calls to appoint Republicans to his cabinet. So much for that "liberal" media. This party spent billions of dollars dollars trying to tear down this man professionally as well as personally, and nary and official word from the party to tone the shit down, and you think he should award them a position in the administration, why?
Thank you. Oh, thank you.
You know, I can tolerate the "Team of Rivals" bullshit IF the opposition is a loyal one. We don't have that, anymore. I don't think America still yet realizes how truly insane the Republicans are. We had sitting members of Congress calling on this president to produce his birth certificate. We had a sitting Republican US Senator accept the nomination for the Secretary of Commerce position, and then withdrew because the tea party was/is fucking crazy. We had a sitting member of Congress get up and shout "You Lie!" at the president during the State of the Union, something that the Congress formally invites the president to…a man that won re-election, BTW, because he was unopposed. Can you believe this?
No, this iteration of the Republican Party shouldn't even be allowed to gets its big toe back over the threshold. I want a loyal opposition; I really do.
This ain't it.
And another thing. What is this bullshit about how Romney could be so useful with his business experience and aaa? a) He only has experience destroying businesses. b) Really? Business experience? CEO brilliance? Based on his incredibly badly run, horridly mismanaged, clown car cavalcade of a campaign?
I. don't. think. so.
I'll take the brilliant community organizer, thank you very much. After all, the country is a big community, not a fucking bottom line oriented corporation.
He wasted $25,000 on fireworks to celebrate his victory and paid for a President Elect Romney website. Someone would trust him with money?
And I certainly hope the President isn't planning to host a banquet in honor of Rmoney's "patriotism" as he did for Loser McCain.
Speaking of the turnover, anyone have any good ideas for replacements at Treasury, Justice, and SoS? I keep hearing John Kerry for Sos, but I don't like that idea for a whole host of reasons.
I heard Susan Rice for SecState, which would work for me. Whoever gets DoJ, I hope he's got a bigger dick than Holder.
Hillz should be ALL of them. AT ONCE.
We could do worse than Mohamed El Erian from PIMCO. He's the anti-Giethner. Wall Street would shit a brick.
Besides that, Our Lady of Perpetual Inebriation, how was the show?
Come on, you guys, she's declared herself right, retroactively. Ugh.
Mitt Romney is going to be with us, forever, in every stupid little phrase burrowed into our brains. It's like Bushishms, only far more insidious. He's competing with George Orwell, here.
I'm trying, but I can't remember a damn thing the man ever said. Either I'm drunk on euphoria and snarkenfreude or all of his word-sets cancelled each other out.
We should all be so lucky. Bush said shit because he was stupid. Romney said shit because he was mean. And, I'll remember both of them and their words for that.
Word.
Romney will go into the remainder bin like all those business books written by corporate twits. Five years after the fact few remember what they said, and their one-time fanboys deny they ever cared.
I tell you, again, I will never forget the term "resigned retroactively". Never. You don't forget that kind of say-anything hubris. Just typing it leaves me breathless and dizzy. He really thought that we were that stupid.
By the end of the year you could ask the average American "Who said 'Corporations are people, my friend" and '47%'?," and maybe a bare majority will be able to get it right.
I'll bet $10,000 on it.
All of them, Katie?

Oh, and which Cabinet post did John Kerry hold in the Bush Administration?
clap clap
Hear, hear!
It's that West Wing deal, where Alan Alda ended up Sec of State because he was an honourable, intelligent opponent. Oh, that's why it won't work with Romney.
Every time I see "Peggy" in these comments, I think Peggy Bundy. Then I realize no, no, Peggy Noonan, then I think eh, potato, potahto, vodka, Noonan.
Apparently Peg likes her crow well done.
The lady doth write too much, methinks.
Seriously, Peggs, put down the pen. But, if you must, take your brown bag "lunch" through Central Park and observe the youth in subtle play, or write some protest piece on the newest exhibit at MOMA or some shit. Your lazy, creative, and faux elegant energies are needed elsewhere.
Is "faux elegant energy" equivalent to "peaceful dynamism?"
I think it means "passed out drunk while still swayingly upright." Hic!
Yes. lol

On behalf of the President, let me just say, I am creeped out.
"buoyed some conservatives "
OOOH OOOH, Which ones?
Oh, now, she didn't mean TIED to a buoy.
Skeezy. Both Rmoney and Noonington had to drag out some ghoulish Challenger disaster artifact to try to make themselves seem human.
Slightly OT, but Ted Nugent spewed a new post-election rant that is mighty special, mighty special indeed for all you Obama and Hillary hatin` truck nutterz out there.

For the record, I read the whole Peggy Noonan WSJ commentary. Surely that's worth an upfist.
And about as painful. I read it, too, before the firewall mysteriously went up. She sounds like a literate Sarah Palin. And neither make any sense.
Honestly, I don't think anyone here really understands what she means when she says that all the things she said on Nov 5th still stands. Here are some helpful excerpts of that column, that will perhaps clarify things:

You guys, That November 5th column was LITERALLY just a transcript of Dame Peggy Noonington's electoral sex-fantasies. You're welcome for the mental image, everyone!
I, on the other hand (pun intended), have been fingering myself to essay after essay analyzing the corpse of Romney's career. There has been such a wealth of blame to enjoy. I'm sore, tired and happy.
"good internals" = colonscopy, right?
Rofl, oh we were organizing quietly, compared to you know prancing around with teabags and rifles. Let's not forget that whole Occupy movement that pretty much brought the 99% problems right out in front, which was a stark in your face reminder of WHY Romney was a big bag of rancid cum.
Turns out we're "energetic" lazy welfare queens, who vote! And we're stealing your non crazy voters too!
Peggington Noonington was on Face The Nation this morning. She said that the Petraeus resignation was "mysterious" and a little too "Homeland" for her liking. She was a complete train-wreck, and bitch was given the last word on the panel.
My personal take on almost all TV and printed media is " WHORES". It is all about money- not honesty, credibility, and looks like not much knowledge anymore. Am I wrong? Well, my opinion is free- so unlike Richard Cohen, Lady noonington, Krautie, Georgie Will and so many others- I'm not getting anything for it. Of course the one guy who deserves his cash is NATE!!!
I just read her Monday column. She is pinning her hopes on "something." Something old is roaring back. Something is moving among evangelicals. Something is being cooked up. Something, something, something. I guess you couldn't expect much better from the "thousand points of light" speech writer, but really, why she's so sought after a some kind of grand augur to the right, I have no idea.
I think she sits down and types, "In order to succeed, the United States must something something for the good of all citizens." Spends hours musing on the something-something part. Every day.
Look, Republicans don't have a lot of options. If you want fire breathing wingnuttery, you call Bachmann, if you want a Republican woman who isn't completely bonkers even if she is always wrong, you book Noonan. If you want tits, you call Palin.
A thousand points of drunk and stupid.
We shouldn't have to tolerate this kind of boorishness in our public discourse.
I saw a photo in Facebook of the 200 or so Employees in the Romney for President, Inc. as taken at the Republican Convention, and they are 98 to 99% all White Caucasion, NO diversity. If you would like to see that photo, go to Facebook and type in the name of their JEANNIE-ASS Florida Director Molly Donlin, and you will see. To wonder why non-Caucasian voters steered away from a Mittens vote.
"Waiter – I know you'll think me quite the loon. but my Cuntington Wellington just rose up off my plate…and distinctly spoke-in-tongues at me. I think I should like the check. Also – do you know if it's still raining blue snakes out there? Thank you, I'm sure."

Looks like the Noonan Crotch Tingle Yard Sign Indicator is a non-starter after all.
Still waiting for Noon' to say something relevant. She is the my party right or wrong variety of talking heads class.
I'm sure that somewhere between half a dozen and two gazillion Wonketteers have already said this, but:
Other than the fact that I was absolutely, totally, 180 degrees backassward wrong about everything, I was right.

But, but, but, your blog post STANDS?!!??!??!… but… uhhhmmmm….. (low drooling)….. OMG! It's like that old episode of "Star Trek," where Spock goes all logical, and Kirk doesn't, and some poor alien's head essplodes. With brain splatter. Or maybe not. I don't remember. I just know IT HURTS NOW.

But I have some great friends that are NASCAR team owners."…
I could go on all day.
I heard the Benghazi thing may be a problem for Rice (not that in any rational world it should be, just that in the real world today it will be).
Also, Independents.
"I'll take a lot of credit for that", "[M]y job is not to worry about those people", "And we kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve", "I'm running for office, for Pete's sake"
I really hate to see her go, but if her fans can will it, she's doing it to position herself for the presidency, again.
