Peggy Noonan has discovered that politicians are a sanctimonious, egotistical, self-serving lot.
I, for one, am shocked.
I would note that politicians who don’t do what one wants always seem worse on these counts than politicians who do what one wants.
I will say two things: 1) I like Peggy Noonan quite a lot, and 2) there was an extra-special helping of self-congratulation Monday night. But still, I am not sure that there is anything extraordinary here.
