Inaugural pondering

Commentary is still swirling around President Bush's inaugural speech (you know where to look). Preston Ledger at Consternations read Peggy Noonan's concerns and has a bottom line take:

[C]ould it indicate an overreach by Bush? Maybe, but it wouldn’t be the first time. Dubya does swing for the fences a lot.

Maybe he’ll strike out with this “ending tyranny” thing, but I say why not try? Hey, it’s the second term. There should be no holding back.

If you can’t give ’em heaven, give ’em hell.

Scott Ott has a quite different take.

"The guys over at the State Department had coffee shooting out of their nostrils."
