Awful: Peggy Noonan, Mike Murphy caught on open mike about Palin

I wonder how this little interstitial made its way from MSNBC to TPM. Oh well. Fox nailed Jesse Jackson talking about Obama this way, so turnabout’s fair play.
Simply awful, not only for Palin as a vote of no confidence (“it’s over”) ahead of the big speech from someone respected on the right but for Noonan herself as evidence that she lies to her readers. Remember, the column this morning that I stupidly praised was all about how compelling Palin’s narrative is and how dangerous it might prove to the left. See for yourself what she really thinks of the narrative approach. She also says, “Gut: The Sarah Palin choice is really going to work, or really not going to work.” You’ll see that nuance somewhat refined here too.
I’m sending you to Politico to watch it because it’s a little hard to decipher what’s being said and they have a transcript. Exit quotation from Noonan’s op-ed: “Palin’s friends should be less immediately worried about what the Obama campaign will do to her than what the McCain campaign will do.” Or what Republican pundits will do, I guess. Click the image to watch.
Update: Noonan updates at the Journal to say she was taken out of context.

Who cares? If you have a microphone around your neck or ANYWHERE in the vicinity, use half a brain.
Ever see that commercial where the fellow comes in to fix the mute button…AFTER the tirade?
Exactly.

Allah, you fool! :)
I called her on her suck-uppy, mixed messages here.
The alarms began to go off when she started writing bizarre columns about the Messiah for the W.S.J. awhile back, so I have been on high alert ever since.

Can it you stupid troll: Allah is a Eeyore and a bit of a blue-state dhimmi, but he’s no liberal and has never pulled any two-faced shit.
someone on September 3, 2008 at 5:58 PM
I think the video from last week was far more shocking..she called out MSNBC and then went on to pick on politicians that bring up the 2 headed person with a bad leg and no insurance..I agreed with the premise but found it rather shocking that she would talk in the manner she did…
Pam on September 3, 2008 at 5:59 PM
Bye Peggy. I am one Conservative who won’t be reading your columns anymore.
Have fun at the Inside-The-Beltway-Coffee-Clutches.
Montana on September 3, 2008 at 5:59 PM
Please enlighten us, oh wise one, how this now totally invigorated conservative base, many who were last week planning on a) not voting, and b) an Obama Administration, is a bad thing for John McCain. Do you know of another who could have brought the base into camp, or are you just a pissy little troll?
Patrick S on September 3, 2008 at 6:00 PM
I don’t know if it’s that inconsistent. In the article, she is saying what she thought the Palin pick could do in a positive fashion especially with respect to the attacks from the left she’ll get. In the open mic, she’s saying that, overall, it’s a negative to pick a young, right-wing woman with limited experience, sort of an Obama mirror image, but one without the worldwide fame and reputation for charisma. She might think that swing voters will look at it and instinctively trust McCain less. The left can’t say, “You know, McCain was great until August, but now we think you should vote for Obama.” That doesn’t tie in with the “McCain = Bush” narrative. But voters can think that, and if they lose faith in McCain, it’s game over.
Incidentally, Noonan was not among those who blurted, “cynical,” but the above would be true whether or not she were. Noonan wrote, “She is either going to be magic or one of history’s accidents.” Clearly, surrounded by the drawn knives at MSNBC, Noonan was leaning toward the latter. I, for one, think and hope she’s wrong. And I also hope she explains herself; after all, Palin has to.

Look at another one of the republicans defending this retched comment by Noonan. NRO’S Kathryn Jean Lopez. Good Lord how many more trolls are out there dismissing our Barracuda?!

OH dear. If the Enquirer story on Palin having an affair with her husband’s former business partner is true….turn out the lights and concede. Reputation aside, the Enquirer gets it right more than they get it wrong.
UnFRICKINbelievable.
Roger Waters on September 3, 2008 at 6:02 PM
Peggy, I have a feeling that when we look back in a few months, this will damage you a lot more than it will hurt Sarah Palin. And that will be true no matter who is elected in November.
JudetheFossil on September 3, 2008 at 6:02 PM
If given the opportunity to address Ms. Noonan, who heretofore I trusted, It would be these two words: You C*nt.
Doc Rochester on September 3, 2008 at 6:03 PM
Noonan had written about the media needing to remember they are in a bubble with each other, then she gets caught on tape yammering in the bubble.
She probably wrote about how the 2007 New York Giants had a chance to win the Super Bowl, then bet a fat wad of dough on the Patriots.
Graybark on September 3, 2008 at 6:03 PM
I’m so sick to death of the media dictating to us how and what we are suppose to believe. This whole ordeal just makes me sick. The sad thing is that most people get their opinions from this kind of crap, they listen to the headlines but don’t read the story. I was at a BBQ this weekend and was dumfounded at how many people were just spouting off; did you hear about her daughter; did you hear she got someone fired etc… So many people will not bother to research and will vote this election like it’s American Idol.
spypeach on September 3, 2008 at 6:04 PM
Wow. I can’t help but think that that might have been a set-up by MSNBC. Noonan’s article today was very good and was somewhat encouraging to us Palin fans. What better way to completely undercut Noonan’s message and credibility than set up a hot mic “gotcha” like this? Even if it was just a fortuitous accident on MSNBC’s part to capture this conversation, someone over there certainly didn’t hesitate to disseminate it.
I still agree with Noonan’s article, not her comments in this video. I’m not surprised by her actual cynicism; I’m just disappointed that she ended up contributing to the relentless pounding our enthusiasm for Palin is taking. I don’t think Noonan really wanted to be one of the reasons why Palin fails if indeed Palin ends up failing.
I think Sarah will surprise Noonan and everyone else. Go Sarah!

Not helpful, but not terribly significant. In a few hours potential voters will have a chance to judge Palin for themselves.
dedalus on September 3, 2008 at 6:04 PM
I’ve said it before, but it always rings true: Noonan hopped a very strange train a long time ago and I have no idea where she’s headed.
But this from Schlussel…
… is one of the funniest things I’ve seen all week.

Keemo on September 3, 2008 at 6:07 PM
Keep your eyes on the prize, folks. McCain-Palin in 2008.
Peggy Noonan is the Blanche DuBois of punditry. Her airy, breathy prognosticating is an exercise in self promotion all dressed up in more makeup than the pig.
McCain-Palin. 2008. That’s the prize.
Oh and Peggy? Apparently McCain and Palin already have speech writers and you’re not one of them. Bee-yotch.
pabarge on September 3, 2008 at 6:07 PM
As far as Noonan being on the MSNBC payroll, and now being screwed by them in this manner, as the great Jewish physicist Wolfgang Pauli said his long-time friend Werner Heisenberg staying in Germany to work for the Nazis on an atomic bomb:
“He agreed to sup with the devil, but found out that his spoon wasn’t long enough.”
TexasJew on September 3, 2008 at 6:08 PM
Is it true ? Did Joe Biden tell Sarah, “My daddy can whip your daddy”. (Just kidding) Don’t get me wrong, I’m not the epitome of maturity but, this all sounds like playground politics to me. The whole world is watching this. It’s embarrassing.
KyserS on September 3, 2008 at 6:08 PM
this shows Noonan’s articles are b.s. and dont reflect even HER opinions. Funny but very sad.
This is going to hurt…but not as bad as the affair allegation if that allegation has legs. Since that allegations comes on the heels of the Edwards allegation which turned out to be exaclty right…the timing couldnt be worse for Palin….or should I say republicans…or should I say the U.S. for the next four years.

Peggy Noonan lost her “red” status years ago. She’s nothing other than a queen bee stuck in a business that has lost the respect of the nation. The antique media died the day they lost their objectivity and demanded to be the “4th branch of the government.” Anybody with 1/8th of a brain knows this information alphie; what the heck happened to you.

Theme song for this campaign is “shot down in flames”.
Roger Waters on September 3, 2008 at 6:13 PM
Yeah right, Pat Buchanan would be the answer. Personally I would not give a shit if she did have an affair. Since Bill Clinton lowered the bar on sexual misconduct it apparently does not matter any more.

Probably the closest thing to real journalism PMSNBC has done in a long time.
And that’s saying something.
Sir Andrew on September 3, 2008 at 6:14 PM
Yeah, you’re right. Your statement about the Enquirer’s penchant for the truth is
unFRICKINbelievable.
MadisonConservative on September 3, 2008 at 6:14 PM
I don’t get the impression that Noonan is rooting for Obama just because she thinks McCain’s big gamble isn’t going to pay off. I just think she’s been in that media bubble she cited in her own article this morning too long and can’t help being so cynical. (Which doesn’t mean I forgive her for lying and for being stupid enough to talk frankly in front of an MSNBC mic.)

What the hell was that? So you wouldnt care if it were true but it mattered to you about Clinton’s misbehavior and Edward’s misbehavior? What a hypocrite. You guys that put so much stock in this Palin pick are going to be hurting I think. I hope I am wrong…but it doesnt look good.

Peggy WHOnan ! Cheeze and Crackers Woman how weak minded can you be ? Anyone who lets this 90% contrived shit storm of information influence their decision on Sarah Palin is a total boob. For Noonan to pass judgement so quickly shows her lack of wisdom. Where I think the problems lay especially for media types on this now is just plain old embarassment. Sarah Palin will do just fine people wait till she is given a chance to shine tonight. P.S. You better bring a pair of sun glasses cause I think your gonna need them.

Hey Roger, I think your inflatable pig needs some attention. Better go take care of that before you embarrass yourself here any further. On your way out, check the headlines for Byron York’s article on the “meatiness” or lack thereof of the Enquirer’s story. Hmmmm, the allegations seem to come from Palin’s ex-BIL trooper. I am sure he is an objective source without any reason to spread nasty rumors. Go ahead and hitch a ride with that loser.
Mallard T. Drake on September 3, 2008 at 6:20 PM
I don’t give a **** about Sarah Palin’s sex life (as long as she did not do any under age kids) any more then I would have cared about Eisenhower and his dopey English chauffeur or FDR and Lucy Hand or JFK and Marilyn. Just b/c the Enquirer got it right about Silky Pony does not change it from a rag into a respectable news source any more then World Net Daily or DEBKA File are reliable.

Actually, Roger, I asked you a fairly simple question. You come across as Johnny Gloom n’ Doom over Sarah Palin and I’d like to know who you believe would have brought the disaffected conservatives freighting back into the fold like thay have. Maybe you’re not a troll but you responded pretty pissy. Have a bran muffin.
Patrick S on September 3, 2008 at 6:22 PM
Anything positive about Republicans that Noonan says from here on out will be seen as a cynical ploy to rescue her reputation. She is toast and the Wall Street Journal should now be seen as the fraud that it is.
Buddahpundit on September 3, 2008 at 6:22 PM

Actually I think the source is a combo of Bill Burkett, ‘Lucy Ramirez’, Dan Rather and Markos Moulitsas.
Hilts on September 3, 2008 at 6:22 PM
I do. We all make mistakes; we all can learn from them. If you had read her previous WSJ essay, you would have seen that Noonan has travelled a long way down Andrew Sullivan Lane.
It’s a shame. They both had their uber-cognitive moments in the sun, but all too briefly. Now it’s time to write them off as cocktail party-addled ninnies.
HelenW on September 3, 2008 at 6:25 PM
Noonan’s also the yutz who got a case of the vapors when George Bush dared to mention God in his second inaurgural address. I imagine she has equally kind things to say about anyone from outside the Beltway.
To heck with her.
irishspy on September 3, 2008 at 6:25 PM
What’s the big deal? I think the people speaking, even though “Republican”, aren’t of concern or consequence. What is that…. two DC votes? I don’t think Sarah Palin is solely an anti-Democrat candidate. I think she is an anti-bullshit candidate.
Anyway you cut it, she is clearly better than either Obama or Biden. If McCain drops her, he makes every kind word said about him last night a lie…. won’t happen. To be a functional (and good?) President requires selecting a good group of advisors and cabinet along with an ideologically compatible #2. To be a great President requires the same except we can add in strong character with core principles that you adhere to.
About 100 years ago, I was in the 82d at Ft. Bragg. The first woman to go through jump school had just completed the course and there was a picture of her in the Army Times being picked up on the drop zone by a jeep (along with her ‘chute). I remarked to another guy about what bullshit it was… she should have to roll up her chute and double-time off the drop zone like everyone else. He agreed and the discussion quickly changed to equal pay for equal work. I told him I believed in equal pay for TRULY equal work. He did not. We debated. Every time I asked him why and blunted his point for the BS it was, he was getting agrier and angrier until he stood and yelled as his answer “Because! Because I got a dick!” and then stormed off. That guy must be showing up on this forum….

These media hyped disaffected conservatives were going to vote for McCain because the idea of an Obama presidency made them sick. Dont worry about them. McCain threw a “hail mary” when he recklessly picked Palin and he had some excellent safe conservative choices that would have helped with the media hyped disaffected conservatives and had the advantage of actually having experience and knowledge, unlike Palin. Palin was picked over experienced and better choices because she is a female. Or havent you figured that one out yet?

They gave Obama a break by releasing the Edward’s story before EGObama might have chosen him. Fair is fair, even though I think getting this news (if true) today or even this week would cause MANY HEADS TO EXPLODE!

Noonan’s statement doesn’t reflect at all negatively on Sarah Palin, so you’re preaching to the choir.
The outrage is directed at Noonan, who is a freaking hypocrite and a liar.
fossten on September 3, 2008 at 6:30 PM
The beltway pundits and self-appointed brahmans on both sides have had the knives out for Palin right from the start. She doesn’t fit the upper crusty, Ivy League narrative that they have decided is the one and only acceptable narrative for a major candidate and that’s the main reason they are slobbering all over Obama The Messiah. Obama’s one of them, not one of us.
Django on September 3, 2008 at 6:30 PM
I agree, especially since she prides herself on having the most on the pulse assessment of all state of affairs and what conservatives and americans want ABOVE ALL OTHERS.
Topsecretk9 on September 3, 2008 at 6:30 PM
I don’t think that Noonan’s comment was exactly a diss on Palin. I don’t think she intended to say that Palin wasn’t qualified, just that she wasn’t necessarily the most qualified woman McCain could’ve picked.
I’ve said it myself: there were plenty of other safer Republican women to choose from. McCain chose this woman for a reason, and while I don’t think narrative was the whole, or even the most important consideration, I don’t think it was ignored either.
Eukardios on September 3, 2008 at 6:31 PM
Good observations. Noonan always came across to me as the type of phony conservative (like George Will) who would never cross a certain line because she preferred to get invited to the best Georgetown cocktail parties. Randy Andy Sullivan likes to promote himself as a conservative but in the last two elections supported John Kerry and now B. Hussein Obama. His Bush Derangement Syndrome is because Bush does not support Randy Andy’s marrying his boyfriend and Sully has an obsession with torture probably because he engages in a lot (and I know I am speculating) of S & M stuff with said boyfriend. I read something out of Randy Andy’s rants that could have come straight out of the paleocon Buchanan playbook – he actually said “Our Likudnik foreign policy” – that’s when I gave up on him (as I did David Gergen and Peggy Noonan a long time ago).
Hilts on September 3, 2008 at 6:31 PM
You really need to think over that statement again.
fossten on September 3, 2008 at 6:31 PM
Well, I guess folks can decide for themselves whether Palin is bullshit, but after this, it’s beyond reasonable doubt that the certain bullshitter is Peggy Noonan.
Before this article I was suspecting Noonan had fallen in the tank for Obama. This article, I said, almost redeemed her. Silly me.
My,what a disappointment Noonan has become.

No kidding, and of all people, Peggy Noonan should know that, having been a speechwriter for Ronald Reagan. Numerous times the elitists said something couldn’t be done … just before Reagan went out and did it.
Apparently, Peg didn’t learn much from that experience.

Again, if they actually believe this, why do thouest protesteth too much…..? Why would they be warning us against ourselves? Why not just let us fools go down in flames to their laughter? Why……….?
Because they are scared shi#less,that’s why!
