The absurd met the pathetic on Meet the Press this week when Peggy Noonan tried to say with a straight face the Republican Party should "use this opportunity" to change and improve its standing with women. The whole panel dissolved in laughter.

1. She is an idiot. Nt

[Wounded Bear]

2. Another pundit who has passed her use by date...

7. She was an utter ass 30 yrs. ago.

So obviously in love with the sound of her voice uttering her smarmy version of "wit and wisdom". Always insufferable.

[brush]

8. Yep, she looked ridiculous trying to spin the abortion ban...

as an opportunity for republicans to expand outreach to women and children.

Just nonsensical. How could her brain even form such thoughts.

3. It's very clear that Peggy knows that the Republican Party and the SCOTUS have opened Pandora's Box

and the evils spoken of in the Myth will be laid at their feet. Peggy's statement here is akin to a BF beating the shit out of his SO and then saying "Sorry, I didn't mean it, I'll never do it again."

6. This is hugely expected, they screw you over and then put their arm

around you to lessen your anger.

9. That's how abusers operate. First the beating, then the flowers.

11. exactly

perfect that she became that others treated her like the fool she is.

4. Up yours, Peggy Noonan.

And a thousand thanks to Kimberly for putting Noonan in her place.

[edhopper]

5. What expletive can I use for her

that won't get hidden?

[Lars39]

10. It's like the 2 guys telling jokes to each other...

they’ve been doing it so long they have ‘em numbered. They just say the number and start chuckling.
ie…we understand what you’re saying,edhopper.

16. A slam "DUNK"

Combo of a DicK and a C**t.

[Baitball Blogger]

12. Peggy Noonan is as obsolete as her party.

Women's anger will only rise, especially after reports of young women dying from botched abortions.

[spanone]

13. What are noonan's qualifications for bloviating on anything?

[paleotn]

18. Journalist. Spout crazy shit, get 7 figure job I guess.

This isn't the first time she's spouted batshit crazy stuff, just the most recent.

[malaise]

14. Rec for your fabulous OP title

Eff Piggy!

[Bev54]

15. Peggy Noonan and Andrea Mitchell on the same panel

[paleotn]

17. Peggy Noonan is the kind of person you wonder how they hell did they get where they are?

Is there some kind of complete idiot track in journalism, TV or otherwise? Yes, I'm being harsh on journalists once again, bad habit of mine I guess, but Jesus on a bleeping stick, how the hell did she end up where she is? How? And this is just the cherry on top of the gargantuan mountain of stupid that's come from her lips and keyboard.

19. Peggy, a magical coat-hanger is going to be waved

and Republicans will be reborn in the blood of the mothers in back alleys - What a moran to believe they will ever care for an unwanted child as part of its party platform- cut taxes and social programs to save a buck or two, yah that's something we can all believe in.. Perhaps, just perhaps, that something could be wrong with their position is just creeping into that fossilized brain,or what is left of it.

20. pretty sure she'll be fine, as long as the bar's open...

[bucolic_frolic]

21. That's a shock to her and a wake up call - good strategy for all Republicans

who keep telling us 45 won or was cheated or didn't do it. Just LAUGH at them. Make them feel ridiculous.
