The Inconsistent Morality Of Peggy Noonan

Peggy Noonan on Clinton's perjury in a civil case:
"The Democrats had long labeled the impeachment debate a distraction from the urgent business of a great nation. But the Republicans argued that the pursuit of justice is the business of a great nation. In winning this point, they caught the falling flag, producing a triumph for the rule of law, a reassertion of the belief that no man is above it, and a rebuke for an arrogance that had grown imperial," - Peggy Noonan, December 21. 1998."
Peggy Noonan on Bush's war crimes and torture memos:
"It’s hard for me to look at a great nation issuing these documents and sending them out to the world and thinking, ‘Oh, much good will come of that.’ Sometimes in life you want to keep walking… Some of life has to be mysterious." - Peggy Noonan, April 19, 2009.
One needed impeachment, one needs to be forgotten. Great set of consistent morals there. Why don't you keep walking, Peggy.
