Three Insufferable Things About Peggy Noonan

On Morning Joe today:

●Described the president’s farewell address as “wistful.” Three times.

●Used the word “graph” instead of “paragraph.” This is sort of like when a movie crew member appears on a DVD featurette and uses “the show” to describe the movie. In other words, very serious!

●Out of nowhere, mentioned how she’s reading all of the presidential inaugural addresses and trying to distill them down to one sentence. You know when you’re at the gym and there’s that one guy at the snack bar randomly shoe-horning his bench press max into his smoothie order?

    • Described the president’s demeanor during his farewell address as “listless.” At least a dozen times.
    • Wondered if W practiced that smirk to get it ‘just right’ or if it was just a birth defect.
    • Wondered how anyone can be so totally divorced from reality and not be hospitalized for mental illness.
