Peggy Noonan REALLY misses the mark on Tim Kaine

Peggy Noonan, a speechwriter for Ronald Reagan back in the day, can be extremely insightful in her unique angle on American politics and political culture.  In fact, for much of her Wall Street Journal column, she is exactly that.

In the closing paragraphs, however, Peggy just goes off the rails:

I end with a thought on the upcoming announcements of vice presidential picks. Major props to both campaigns for keeping it tight, who it’s going to be, for by now they should know and have, please God, fully vetted him or her. On the Democrats . . . part of me tugs for Tim Kaine of Virginia, because he has a wonderful American Man haircut, not the cut of the man in first but the guy in coach who may be the air marshal. He looks like he goes once every 10 days to Jimmy Hoffa’s barber and says, “Gimme a full Detroit.”

Of all the descriptions of Governor Kaine - his career, his record, his personal character, etc. – I cannot think of a single pundit who ever got him so wrong.
