Shorter Peggy Noonan:

Bush is still screwing up in Iraq, and the speech was awful, but Nancy Pelosi wore a big red shawl on Wednesday, so I still hate the Democrats more.

Peggy on Pelosi:

She wrapped herself in a rich red shawl. Dick Morris said it looked like a straitjacket. I thought she looked like a particularly colorful mummy.

Say, whatever happened to that American remake of Absolutely Fabulous? I think we've found our stars.

(I dunno -- I think it looks kind of stylish here. Less so here. Looks warm at least, and it is wintry here in the East, finally.)
