Peggy Noonan was SO helpful this morning on MJ! And you don't appreciate her!

[CTyankee]

Why, she told us that the space program was a FEDERAL program! Here I was, wondering why my CT space program hasn't gotten (literally) off the ground yet...

Peggy is such a treasure trove of information for us. Really, what would we do without her instruction and wisdom! All these ingrates here on DU...it's terrible...

[madrchsod]

1. that news to me! here i thought it`s was a hoax....

[CTyankee]

5. Yes, she was quite explicit. It was "rightfully" a federal program, a program

that the federal program does best.

She acted like she was telling us something new and interesting...I groaned when I saw her on the set...she was there to talk about the SOTU, expert that she is!

Actually, I got a big laugh out of it cuz I knew she was "serious."

[jwirr]

18. Someone probably just told her. She thinks the rest of us are as

dumb as she is.

[annabanana]

2. lol.. She really thinks she's *all that* , doesn't she?. . n/t

[JoePhilly]

16. I love when she and George Will are on the same panel discussing issues ...

Its hilarious to watch those two bloviators try out condescend each other.

3. Colorado's space program is far ahead of Connecticut

that's because we're closer.

[CTyankee]

6. Oh...okay...I was wondering why that was...thanks...

[Kookaburra]

4. NC was first in flight (it says so on our license plates),

ergo our space program is far ahead of either CT's or CO's.

[TicketyBoo]

8. Okay, I apologize ahead of time

to all Californians, but I think they have a lock on the "space race." Ever hear a group of Valley Girls at a mall? Spacey, fer shur.

17. We New Jerseyans

got yer space program "right here"

[TicketyBoo]

22. I thought that New Jersey residents

were called New Jerseyites?

[VWolf]

23. Jerseyites doesn't sound as good

with "the accent"

[CTyankee]

9. Oh, noooo

[Major Hogwash]

24. And Peggy was on one of those 1st flights as a bitchy flight attendent!!!

"NO! We don't have any more peanuts! Sit Down! And buckle your seat belt!"

Hahahahahaha!

[blogslut]

7. We are truly thankless

It can't be easy to scrape oneself off one's Egyptian cotton sheets, throw on a smart blazer/sweater/pashmina combo, hop in the back of a Lincoln town car and arrive at 30 Rockefeller Plaza just in time to enlighten the unwashed - without so much as a one drop of Gin! The horror! Poor Peggy!

[CTyankee]

10. After one of her previous appearances where she got snarky with another guest,

talking about the size of his brain, I think she got word to lay off the sauce before she comes on the show...

[blogslut]

12. From the looks of her this morning

I'd say she did all her drinking last night.

:hi:

[CTyankee]

13. That explains it! She planned her "remarks" today in a drunken stupor...

"Lesshee, gotta think of something (hic) to say tomorrow..."

[derby378]

11. Texas has mission control in Houston

Think about that the next time you haters tell us to secede and get it over with. :evilgrin:

[CTyankee]

14. But, see, if you guys secede, you got your own state space program, don't you?

I guess that's an upside...

[derby378]

19. But how are we going to launch anything ourselves?

We have a $25 billion hole in our state budget. Unless an asteroid made of rhodium smashes into our state, where are we gonna get the money to build our own spacecraft, let alone our own spaceport?

[TicketyBoo]

15. I thought

it was y'all who was threatenin' secession? (Your goofy governor, that is.)

[derby378]

20. Governor Goodhair does not speak for this ornery Texas Democrat

We've been a republic. Not a very successful republic, mind you, but a republic nonetheless. We do better as a state. A lot of Texans will never admit this, but one look at our history should be enough to convince anyone.
