BREAKING!!!! This one is totally worthy of a Drudge Siren...
The Up Is Down, Air Is Wet, Water Is Dry, Black Is White, White Is Black, Day Is Night, Night Is Day World we've all been living lately has taken a new turn.
Peggy Noonan just broke her old boss's 11th Commandment:
"Thou Shalt Not Speak Ill of a Fellow Republican."
And this time, not on accident in front of a hot mike, using a Barn Yard Epithet either.
No, no, no.
Margaret Ellen didn't just stray of the Reservation, she went to town on dear Sister Sarah, with a kindler, gentler, rat-a-tat-tat, machine gun hand.

Who knew the Thousand Points of Light were the glints coming off of razor sharp daggers?
Unbelievable.
I'm not even going to quote any of the zingers here, because the thing is just one relentless slam after another.
Noonan Unbound.
Joe Bob Briggs sez check it out.
If the comments are any indication, she's about to get the same crash course Chris Buckley got last year in what the seething underbelly of the Republican Party has devolved into.
Drove Buckley away from the organization his Dad founded and right into the waiting arms of Tina Brown.
This is a slaughter.
At this juncture I think what we are going to see from here on in is a complete fracturing of the Republican Party, spear-headed by Palin and her die hard supporters such as Hannity, Limbaugh, etc, etc, et al.
They, the True Conservatives, are going to splinter off and form their own Conservative Party. All their rhetoric on AM radio and in the blogosphere has been trending in that direction, for years now, and Peggy's little Declarations of War on Palin might be the thing that gets the ball really rolling towards that.
Here's the thing.
In a 3 way race, if things get bad enough, and stay bad by late 2012, a rabble rouser like Palin could easily beat a sitting Incumbent.
Especially if she has the full weight of the Media Apparatus that Murdoch built behind her.
There was the Republican intellectual (oxymoron nowdays I know) who on FOX News said
-- just imagine what William F. Buckley would have thought of the whole Palin thing
(referring to her intellectual vacuumness etc.)
I know the woman can talk but it's word salad and a verbal Rubik's cube - she's the
conservative Courtney Love (also haunted by ethics scandals and money problems of
her own making, and is a publicity seeker and can't stay out of trouble but never goes
away.)
