TAPPED ON NOONAN: Nick Confessore at Tapped doesn't think too highly of Peggy Noonan's recent column on Wesley Clark:
Like Charles Krauthammer, Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan has a reprehensible tendency to attribute mental imbalance to people with whom she disagrees. Her latest column is a case in point. She invents a flip-flop for which to attack Wesley Clark, and prattles on for sentence after sentence about his mental state.
. . .
Noonan doesn't exactly possess the most penetrating mind in punditry. But even so, it's amazing that she leaps to mental illness to explain positions and opinions of Clark's for which no mental illness is necessary.
