Let's Play "What The Hell Made Peggy Noonan Say That?"
Bush the Younger would breastfeed the military if he could.
Just what might make Peggy Noonan say such a thing?

Stop Big Media
Do you believe "that a free and vibrant media full of diverse, local and competing voices is the lifeblood of America's democracy"?
That "massive consolidation of media ownership has dangerously reduced the number of voices in our nation's media"?
If you haven't already, you may want to check out Stop Big Media. They're watching the FCC's newest media ownership rule change proposals.

Coulter's Impending Mental Health "Vacation"
It sure reads like Ann Coulter is in the process of some overwhelming mental breakdown with her newest screed on (In)Human(e) Events. Honestly, assuming she has family that loves her, where are they? Aren't they concerned that she continually verbally soils herself in public for far rightwing purposes? And when do the conservatives consider Ann Coulter the person, and not the tool of rightwing rhetoric?
Where is the love amongst conservatives for Ann Coulter? Aren't they concerned that she needs some serious help? She seems so unhappy. Why is she so unhappy? Is it really to the benefit of conservatives that their spokespeople are so incredibly publicly unhappy and filled with venemous anger? Don't they care about Ann Coulter finding happiness? Ann Coulter is as successful as any conservative pundit, and she's not a happy person. She's full of venom. Does she think she's lost? Does she think she's failing? Why isn't she happy with herself?
Somehow I think the world would be a better place if Ann Coulter could find a path to happiness. And less decorated with hate, too.

Do They Think They Know The Percentage?
Bush danced around this question at his press conference today:
You said yesterday that a standard of no violence in Iraq is an impossible standard to meet, but do you believe that there needs to be a reduction in violence for U.S. troops to begin to draw down? And if so, how much?
The answer, to be summed up, was:
THE PRESIDENT: Enough for the government to succeed. In other words, the Iraqi people have got to have confidence in this unity government, and reduction in violence will enable the people to have confidence.
An obvious lack of followup: does the Administration have any idea how much will allow the government to succeed? What are the acceptable standards of behavior for reducing the violence? Does the Administration have any kind of policy or analysis for calibration?
Sooner or later, people not named Nedra will figure out ways to finding some specificity.
