Greenwald Vs Noonan

Glenn Greenwald takes on Peggy Noonan's latest. Greenwald always throws a good counterpunch but let's be honest... it doesn't take much to puncture Noonan's trademark superficiality.

Expanding slightly on Greenwald's case, I find it ironic that the "average guy" attribute that was once so captivating about Bush the Candidate is now the obvious fatal flaw of Bush the President. Those of us who cringed at the media frenzy around the "Who would you rather have a beer with?" survey will find this a cold comfort. Maybe it's starting to register with people that the characteristics that make someone a good drinking buddy might not be the same characteristics that make someone a good Leader of the Free World.

Of course we still have some 30% of the country who think Bush is doing a fine job. I wish I knew what they're measuring him against.
