This has been out for a day, but in case you haven't heard it, WSJ columnist Peggy Noonan and right-wing pundit Mike Murphy talked their way into a hot corner with hot mikes on, expressing candid observations about GOP veep nominee Sarah Palin. Here's the video, courtesy of WMAL News on YouTube:

Take a deep breath and step away from the hyperventilating tent slung over "divisions" in the Democratic Party. History shows we've previously visited this scenario and survived. "The top three candidates agree on almost everything, they’ve each presented a progressive platform, and they each lead Republican candidates in hypothetical general-election match-ups."

So many to choose, so little time. Oh, but WSJ op/eds never disappoint. Peggy Noonan's stinking pile of poodle shit revelation deserves a shout-out:
Hillary Clinton doesn't have to prove she's a man. She has to prove she's a woman.
She doesn't have to prove to people that she's tough enough or aggressive enough to be commander in chief. She doesn't have to show she could and would wage a war. She has to prove she has normal human warmth, a normal amount of give, of good nature, that she is not, at bottom, grimly combative and rather dark.Apparently, Peggy needs her meds adjusted. Poor thing probably doesn't understand how deeply disturbed she is:
Noonan's column, headlined "What's Not to Like: The soft side, and the underside, of Hillary Clinton's campaign," said of Clinton: "Get in her way and she'd squish you like a bug. This has been her reputation for 20 years. And it is her big problem. People want a president to be strong but not hard." Noonan also asserted that, in 1992, the Clintons' "consultants were alarmed to find the American people did not believe Hillary was a mother" but, rather, that she was "a person with breasts in a suit. She had a briefcase and a latte and was late for the meeting, but no way did she have a child."Can't you just feel the "normal human warmth" extruded in Noonan's commentary?
IN THE MAIL: Col. Buzz Patterson's War Crimes: The Left's Campaign to Destroy Our Military and Lose the War on Terror.
I don't think that the left wants to lose the war on terror, exactly — they just want Bush to lose the war on terror. I suspect, however, that Patterson's theme is one that we'll hear more in the future, especially if things go badly in Iraq.Blue Girl provides background on "third-reich wanna-be" Col.
