Top Secret: Emergency Recast of the role of Peggy Noonan, Republican political pundit.
This is an Ad Lib role. We give you the Republican Talking Points, and you
are judged on your ability to Sell, Sell, Sell!
Appear on all the networks and cable news shows!
Top pay for the right person, very few working hours. Spout opinions (ours, not yours) and get paid for it! Must be able to start immediately.
Critical: must be able to stay "in character" any time you are near a mike, whether you think it's an live mike or not.
Apply in writing below.
You thought that stuff you see on the so-called News shows is real?!
No. We make this shit up! It's the ultimate in Reality TV! (Shhh. Don't tell.)
So, here's your big chance. In 25 words or less, show us what you can do with the following critical Republican Talking Points:
- John McCain was a POW for 5.5 years!
- Sarah Palin was the most qualified person for the job of McCain's VP!
- As you introduce the world to Levi Johnston tonight, holding hands with Bristol, engagement ring on her finger, convince the world that these kids' lives are off-limits!
- John McCain is a maverick!
- You may choose the topic of your choice.
Good Luck and...we'll let you know.
PS: Bonus, as an example, listen to the person currently playing Peggy Noonan explain how when she said, "It's over!" she didn't really mean "It's over"

"...I must plead some confusion. In our off-air conversation, I got on the subject of the leaders of the Republican party assuming, now, that whatever the base of the Republican party thinks is what America thinks. I made the case that this is no longer true, that party leaders seem to me stuck in the assumptions of 1988 and 1994, the assumptions that reigned when they were young and coming up.....
"I argued, that's over, those assumptions are yesterday, the party can no longer assume that its base is utterly in line with the thinking of the American people. And when I said, "It's over!" -- and I said it more than once -- that is what I was referring to. I am pretty certain that is exactly what Todd and Murphy understood I was referring to. In the truncated version of the conversation, on the Web, it appears I am saying the McCain campaign is over. I did not say it, and do not think it...."
