Peggy Noonan and Ted Cruz

[Stinky The Clown]

Did they go to the same locution class?

Both speak every word they say as if they were delivering a speech that was the singularly most soaring rhetoric in history. As if every word they utter is the most important since the words of Confucius. As if everyone present should swoon at the sound of their voices and lay prostrate in the face of their intellect.

Oy fucking vey.





context: Cuz on Morning Joe.

8. On that score, Noonan is more irritating to me than Cruz, but...

at least the very sight of Noonan doesn't repulse me.

[Atman]

9. Peggy Noonan even talks down her nose.

She’s like a central casting caricature of a self-important elitist snob. Cruz is just totally creepy.
