[quote=briansd1][quote=eavesdropper] So, while I admire Ms. Noonan tremendously as a speaker and writer (don’t always agree, but do admire)[/quote]

I like to watch her on Meet The Press. I like her style.

I appreciate a congenial style of speech in men and women. The loud CNBC and Fox style of shouting all the time is quite annoying.[/quote]

She penned the “Boys of Pointe du Hoc” speech for President Reagan, which immortalized the Ranger raid at D-Day. As a former Ranger, she has a special place in my heart.

She also wrote the presidential speech following the Challenger explosion.

She’s gotten a little too partisan and polemical as of late, but, on balance, a very good writer and commentator.
