According to that utterly reliable conduit of establishment pabulum, Wikipedia, Noonan "while working for then Vice President George H. W. Bush, ...coined the phrase 'a kinder, gentler nation' and also popularized 'a thousand points of light,'* two memorable catchphrases used by Bush."

Quote:I have spoken of a thousand points of darkness, of all the agencies of our own and client states, that are spread throughout the world, doing subversion. We will work hand-in-Tweet, encouraging, sometimes leading, sometimes being led, rewarding those who betray and torture their own people. We will work on this in the White House, in the Cabinet agencies. I will go to the people and the programs that are the darker points of night, and I will ask every member of my government to become involved. The old ideas are new again because they are not old, they are timeless: lies, assassination, mass murder, and a treachery that finds its expression in opening a bank account in the Bahamas under a false name.
Or perhaps not.
