The recording was leaked within an hour or two to some liberal bloggers. That underscores MSNBC's reputation as nothing more than a PR wing of the Democratic party, doesn't it? If I were Noonan, I don't know that I'd ever want to go back on MSNBC again. Someone working there really took advantage of her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592841981416728347.post-28992145725271363542008-09-04T00:37:00.000-06:002008-09-04T00:37:00.000-06:00No, Wulfgar hasn't been back to discuss that part ...No, Wulfgar hasn't been back to discuss that part of it. Noonan's explanation fits with her public comments much more believably than does the liberal blogosphere distortion of her words.<BR/><BR/>Those who are interested can go to the WSJ Online, and see Noonan's article with her new header paragraphs that explain the distortion.Montana Headlineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149094528547382638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592841981416728347.post-49673912135667685282008-09-03T20:21:00.000-06:002008-09-03T20:21:00.000-06:00I'm not sure that Wulfgar ever read Noonan's expla...I'm not sure that Wulfgar ever read Noonan's explanation -- a later addition to her column -- of how her conversation with Murphy was taken out of context.<BR/><BR/>(She says the "It's over" comment was not referring to the McCain campaign but to something else she and Murphy were talking about. You'll notice that the transcript conveniently cuts off the lead-in to that part of the conversation).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592841981416728347.post-32540789109403416872008-09-03T18:27:00.000-06:002008-09-03T18:27:00.000-06:00Upon review, I see that the live mike episode happ...Upon review, I see that the live mike episode happened after her piece came out.<BR/><BR/>What this really tells me is that while Noonan can correctly diagnose the problems that come with being a Washington insider, she still just can't help being one anyway.<BR/><BR/>As I said above, it is all going to come down to how well Palin performs. There will be no middle ground on this one. Most of you on the left have decided that it is already an unmitigated disaster (and some on the right agree -- but then, I thought that Romney, the supposed safe choice, would have been an unmitigated disaster and sure loser for the Republcans.)<BR/><BR/>So, the logical thing for you to do is to stop paying attention to the Presidential race, right? I mean, it's over and there is no way that McCain and Palin can win, right?Montana Headlineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149094528547382638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592841981416728347.post-49625038644552803072008-09-03T18:16:00.000-06:002008-09-03T18:16:00.000-06:00Read Noonan's piece -- she spends quite some time ...Read Noonan's piece -- she spends quite some time talking about how easy it is for insiders like her to lose touch with the real world.<BR/><BR/>In light of what you wrote, her piece sounds like a confession comparing her initial reaction to a more considered opinion after reflection.<BR/><BR/>Don't assume that someone's initial outburst is what they "really think." Unless you don't believe that women like Noonan are capable of rational thought and reconsideration.<BR/><BR/>(Sorry, just kidding -- I know you don't have a condescending bone in your body.)Montana Headlineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149094528547382638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592841981416728347.post-16487020309592441612008-09-03T16:57:00.000-06:002008-09-03T16:57:00.000-06:00Hmmm.
