Oopsy!

Interesting also to hear three people who enjoy talking politics doing so off camera.

There you have it. Even her own party knows she's a lightweight.

Hey, no fair treating private, off-camera dialogue as public domain!


(unless it's Jesse Jackson on Obama)

Even more interesting is that Noonan then went on to write a column that waffled her real thoughts into something like "she'll either be great or awful" as a nominee. A column that clearly did not reflect what she actually thought.

Those predisposed to think her column actually reflects her thoughts are likely to read her with a more jaundiced eye in the future.

Like her or hate her, it's hard to imagine Maureen Dowd not saying what she really thinks. The difference between a writer and a political hack I suppose.
