Following in former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani’s footsteps, the Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan on Sunday made a strong comment about the media’s handling of Vice President Joe Biden’s recent miscues.
Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press, Noonan said, “If it had been a Republican vice presidential candidate who had made those gaffes…the subject today of the panel would be how stupid is this person, can this person possibly govern?”
DAVID GREGORY, HOST: Peggy, what did you make of this whole episode this week?
PEGGY NOONAN, WALL STREET JOURNAL: Oh, well I thought everything Rudy Giuliani just said was true. If it had been a Republican vice presidential candidate who had made those gaffes, one after another, so comically, and all on tape, the subject today of the panel would be how stupid is this person, can this person possibly govern?
Giuliani said on tape moments earlier, “I truly believe if that were a Republican, if Sarah Palin made that level of mistakes, Dick Cheney, he’d be plastered all over the media. The New York Times would go nuts.”

Quite true. No expects much common sense of democrat
Noonan could and should have made a similar observation in 2008, but she was too smitten with Obama then.
Right on the mark, and there would be videogames throwing rotten tomatoes and eggs at his face. And google bombs too.
