This from a so-called "conservative" columnist who, along with people like Peggy Noonan and Christopher Buckley, went all-in for Barack Hussein Obama in 2008. Now she has a very low-rated cable news talk show with slimeball Elliot Spitzer. Jealousy is such an ugly thing.

Thus, Republican Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama recently had the audacity to assert what heretofore had been relegated to whispers behind closed doors: “Sarah Palin cost us control of the Senate.”

maybe, maybe not. But she probably gave you the House and all these state legislatures.

[SoConPubbie]

Many within the so-called party establishment don't quite know what to do about Palin. She's adored by Tea Partyers, to whom she conveniently attached herself as soon as she sensed a shift in the air.

Sounds like some of the PDS Sufferers here on FreeRepublic.

Assigning motive, with no evidence, to try influence others to a negative opinion of Sarah.

[freedumb2003]

Don’t jump so fast.

Mrs. Palin is a unique phenomenon — maybe ever! — in politics. I have labeled her “Firebrand” in other threads but upon more thought she is more than that.

She defies classification. Her “Everyday plain talk” side draws everyday people — what used to be called “the Silent Majority” — to her and her way of thinking.

There is no question in my mind she learned from her early mistakes and has become a very astute political analyst. And she has the pulse of the Joe Six-pack and Jane Soccer-Mom.

She is a new force of nature.

But no matter what her role is, she is NOT the next President. And a run by her would be a disaster for the Conservative Movement (instantiated by the Tea Party) and its cousin, the Republican Party.

I “conveniently attached” myself to the TEA Party as soon as I “sensed a shift in the air” too. All of us TEA Partiers did!

Won’t be led by WaPo. That’s for sure.

Kathleen Parker is a progressive's conservative. She fools some on the right and she writes as if she is a conservative insider. But, the lady hath not a clue.

Sarah Palin is a bell-weather conservative. You can tell how liberals feel about everything just by listening to them describe their feelings for her.

[Aria]

She attached herself to the Tea Party? HAH! She has been a leading inspiration of the Tea Party IMHO. She is our voice.

They just don’t get it.

[meadsjn]

She's adored by Tea Partyers, to whom she conveniently attached herself as soon as she sensed a shift in the air.

Kathleen Parker, you ignorant slug.

Yes, we all know of the famous Santini rant that sparked the TEA Party movement in Spring of 2009.

Earlier, and more importantly, many millions of us were paying close attention on August 29, 2008, when Sarah Palin was introduced as the Republican VP nominee select.

What we saw that Labor Day weekend and the following week, and then months, and now two years later, has become the growing divide between evil and good in the USA populace, and Sarah Palin just happens to be the wedge selected by the evil left against which to define their (your) own putrid, spiritually dead, semi-existence. By default, the good people lined up behind Sarah Palin. The TEA Parties did come later, but most of them share the same positive vision of the USA as Sarah Palin.

And you, Kathleen Parker, along with Peggy Noonan and some other milquetoast RINOs, chose to come down on the wrong side of history, against good, and on the side of evil.

You chose poorly.

[Berlin_Freeper]

The Left is worried that Palin is going to pull many women towards the Right. So their MSM will deploy female character assassins against Palin more and more to try to prevent that.

The men, excuse me... the “men” of the MSM will go after Palin with raised eyebrows while the women, ::sigh:: excuse me... the “women” will get meaner and meaner.

This is the broad that does a CNN opinion show with the john?

I remember suffering through the commercial for this crap.

The john- “Sometimes we agree, sometimes we disagree.”

Wow, that’s unheard of, John Spitzer. There’s a first for everything if you just wait long enough.

I’ll be sure not to miss it...

Team Romney attacked in 2008 ... and 2010 ... for Obama.

Kathleen Parker: "[I]t is increasingly clear that Palin is a problem." "Parker ... says something publicly that many of us have thought privately
but lacked the courage to say out loud - Palin should step down:"

Kathleen Parker: "Romney would bring more than squeaky clean qualifications
and youthful good looks to the ticket.
Romney would seem a logical choice."

"Parker: Romney raised bar on freedoms"
Kathleen Parker: "If Kennedy's speech was an important landmark in American political history,
Romney's was surpassing. With heartfelt humility and poetic eloquence,
he tracked the nation's struggle with and for freedom."

“Rove has made no secret of his support for Romney as McCain’s VP. ”

"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

The Palmetto Scoop reported:
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

I see the Wednesday installments of “Stop Sarah Palin Week” begin with the ever-reliable Kathleen Parker.........

LOL

Who’s due Thursday? I sometimes forget the columnists’ schedules.

[Mr. Silverback]

Jealousy is such an ugly thing.

I can't quote the exact line (and I admit it wasn't quite this explicit) but in a 2008 anti-Palin column Parker came right out and admitted that Palin gives her husband...um...shall we say, evidence of arousal?

[RichInOC]

Note to any and all who assert that Governor Palin is flatly, inevitably unelectable as president: You’re entitled to your opinion. And at some point, through the electoral process, your opinion may be proven to be the truth. Until then, you simply don’t get to pretend it is.
