"Guess who said this: '...the great shortcoming of this White House, the great thing it is missing, is simple wisdom. Just wisdom--a sense that they did not invent history, that this moment is not all there is, that man has lived a long time and there are things that are true of him, that maturity is not the same thing as cowardice, that personal loyalty is not a good enough reason to put anyone in charge of anything, that the way it works in politics is a friend becomes a loyalist becomes a hack, and actually at this point in history we don't need hacks.'"

The answer is: Peggy Noonan! - whom blogger Poorman once identified as "a full-time, professional, paid writer of George W. Bush fan fiction."

Sez our humble correspondent: "She's soured GWB over immigration. It seems like the only thing Noonan hates worse than America and American soldiers is brown people. Of all the heinous, heinous GWB shit I've seen this poor stupid woman not just defend, but actively praise as if GWB is some kind of Great Honkey Moses leading the world to democracy, she finally decides that his making nice with Mexicans is where she draws the line. Unbelievable."
