Noonan is a political consultant for the West Wing. She and DeeDee Myers are listed in the credits for every ep. Noonan currently writes a column for the Wall Street Journal, is quite politically savvy and is moderately conservative in her viewpoint. I don't know if I personally agree with her being called the "best in America," although she is certainly the most prominently publicized. I think the writings of Reaganites Josh Gilder and Peter Robinson are far superior. The young woman was an assistant named Michellesomethingorother. I think they added her in primarily for her "riding the Sizzler with Alan Greenspan story." You could have blinked and missed Karl Rove The only clip they showed with him was less than 20 seconds. :-( Jon _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
