Meet The Press: The Gold Egg award
It was “Top drawer” during the entire hour. The ease of the logic and the conclusions that were left for us to savvy was incredible. If Madeline Albright were on the show, I know for sure I would have literally pissed on myself. As it were, there was:
It is due to listening to and hearing people of that caliber I learn and thrust forward. On a C-Span book review one evening I heard an author responding to a question asked by the moderator, (Paraphrased) “When I read and hear new information on a subject, I can change my mind. What do you do, Sir?” I wrote a post on the gentlemen who made those remarks and his name escapes me now due to the fact I am terrible on names.
Nonetheless, the thrust of this post is to say there are lots of people, mostly Republicans, who would have burned the author at the stake for disturbing their conscience so emotionally close to human nature. “Fee Fi Foo Fum” they would have roared! “Not fit to live amongst our people!” they would have growled. “Crucify him!” would have been the last words he heard in the little kingdom of “No”. Can you imagine this scenario: “Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the President and Ambassador from the kingdom of “NO”.
Five years from now, when Peggy Noonan looks at the tape she made today on the Fareed Zakeria Show, I would hope she will have matured enough to agree with the fact she was an embarrassment. I would hope she will have then realized that beauty and charm have age limits in any profession. Further, I would hope by then she will have realized that focuses on beauty and charm gradually morphs into things you say, and upon final reflection, I would hope Ms. Noonan would admit that Norma Desmond was a fictional character and a good one! One who was very believable on the silver screen.
As always,
