Peggy Noonan once had her s**t together.

She seemed to understand the world of politics. And she did some wonderful speech-writing for Ronald Reagan.

The biggest threat to America right now is not government spending, huge deficits, foreign ownership of our debt, world terrorism, two wars, potential epidemics or nuts with nukes. The biggest long-term threat is that people are becoming and have become disheartened, that this condition is reaching critical mass, and that it afflicts most broadly and deeply those members of the American leadership class who are not in Washington, most especially those in business.

I wonder what ever happened to her . . .
