WSJ's Noonan: the best op-ed columnist in America?

Tunku Varadarajan writes in Forbes about the success of Peggy Noonan, a columnist for The Wall Street Journal.
Noonan pens "Declarations," which Varadarajan calls, "the most readable thing" in the paper.
He says that Rupert Murdoch's instinct to grab Noonan's column from the back of the weekend section and move it to the paper's op-ed page shows his instincts as a newspaperman. He writes, "it is now the best op-ed column in America."
From the story:

"Peggy Noonan delivers, weekly, a reasonable approximation of what the better angels of our nature may (or are supposed to) sound like. Hers is an exhortatory idealism tempered by a rare common sense. She is perceptive, persuasive, principled and patriotic. As an immigrant to this country, I like her vision of America. And I am reassured by the fact that there are many millions who share that vision--and who want Peggy, every week, to go on describing it to us, with flair and with fervor, and without an ounce of condescension."
