Kathleen Parker: The sacrifice of Sarah Palin
The Washington Post ^ | January 27, 2015 | Kathleen Parker

Posted on 01/28/2015 10:22:42 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

When Democrats were looking for evidence of a Republican war on women, they overlooked Exhibit A — Sarah Palin.

This isn’t to say that Palin was part of the war on women, though many Democrats would say so. Rather, she was one of the war’s most conspicuous victims — fragged, you might say, by her own troops.

And yet, she’s back again. And — yet again — she’s assuming her default position of presidential tease. Yes, she’s “seriously interested” in running for president. As evidence, she gave an utterly befuddling speech last weekend in Iowa, where other likely candidates were gathered.

This time, Palin’s critics include Republicans. What the heck was she talking about, they wondered. What has happened to Palin, they ask?

As if they shouldn’t know. Palin, though no longer viable in a national race, may deserve more sympathy than scorn. Her incoherence, though not new, has worsened, and she shows signs of someone desperate for relevance. As to the Iowa speech, though her teleprompter apparently froze, a technological glitch can’t be blamed for “This is to forego a conclusion.”(continued)

Kathleen Parker is just dumb......box of rocks dumb. Anyone who has read half a dozen of her columns, knows what I’m talking about.

There's a bitchy shorthand phrase used by British ladies as a put down of those other ladies whom they perceive as their social inferiors
NOCD

Acronym for "Not Our Class, Darling. " That is exactly what the Ladies of the Left are pulling on Sarah. After all, she is not (a) East coast, (b) Ivy League (c) an Attorney or (d)an Entertainer, and of course (e) not a Democrat or "of color.".

Unfortunately, Men of the Right, what this terrible Parker woman is saying is also true of the people who were ostensibly on Sarah's side. No one prepped her. No one watched her back. The horrible weasel McAnus and his feckless team of GOPe consultants sent her out on a suicide mission, one more American unit to be slaughtered and wrecked by this careless, drunken fool's negligence.

He was far kinder to his opponent than he was to Palin, who inexplicably endorsed him when the superannuated dingbat an ex-incompetent pilot should have been replaced. Face it, Kathleen Parker would have been a better advisor than any Palin then had!

The Sarah Palin Defence League is becoming unhinged as St Sarah has become parody of herself.

Good to know your F.R. handle Jennifer Rubin.

No one asked for your opinion.

And No One Wants it.

The PDSer's became a parody of themselves from the start.

Go Flame Post somewhere else.

I make no accusations, I just call them as see them Kathleen Parker.

Good Day.
