If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself.
Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.

‘Nuff said.
Perhaps you haven’t seen Kathleen Parker’s other articles since the Palin nomination. This is personal for her; it has nothing to do with “qualification.”
You used a false headline. That’s a no-no.
I believe that Sarah is a woman of great talent and intelligence who could easily do the job of President. However, she has not been in a job that exposes her to the details of national and foreign policy she needs to know. I don't think she's going to end up in the same boat as Dan Quayle, but I fear she will be seen by the great unwashed as something of "damaged goods", especially if she and McCain lose.
Imagine how formidable she would be with a full term as a wildly successful Governor under her belt, and then an effective, high-profile term or two in the Senate. I hope that if this turns out to be not her year, she goes back to the grind in Juneau and really makes things happen, because this country by God needs her.
Do any Alaskans think she could beat Lisa Murkowski in 2010?

You're right. This is the primary reason women hate her.
Secondarily, I'd also say there is a dimension of petty cattiness (ie. they're jealous of her 'cuz she's hot).
WHO????
“I love Obama for his style, grace, intellect, and his way with words. I want the healing power that an Obama presidency could deliver to this country.”
Kathleen Parker
Bill Buckley is rolling in his grave.
Who is this Pathleen Karker of whom they speak?
Many will disagree with you, but you are indeed spot on!
By now, the dnc/msm would have run the clips of pro-abort Romney about a billion times, and the base would be entirely deflated.
From which I'm afraid one must conclude that Parker is rather easily bamboozled, and worse yet, remains confused long enough to commit such insipid balderdash to paper, revision, and presumably editing.
Obama, a man whose intellect and way with words renders him aphasic in even the most routine circumstances, has extended his healing power over the First Amendment, threatening those who disagree with his record with censorship, lawsuits and criminal action. Doubtless, this will not trouble Kathleen, whose Obama kneepads have been getting a good workout over the last few weeks: she's never written much that The One could object to, although occasionally she admits to being "troubled" that on some subjects he "isn't serious enough." Let us hope for her sake he isn't as serious about muzzling his opposition as he appears to be.
A modest proposal for all the Northeastern Conservatives so very dismayed by Plain's candidacy: how about running just one column on the disgraceful career of Barack Obama during the years when he was pretending to be a social worker? How about waxing thoughtful over a few column inches about his campaign's vicious assault on free speech? How about a hand-wringing session on the lack of genuine accomplishments by someone supposedly so intellectually gifted?
Then, when the impulse strikes to channel Peggy Noonan's pointless drivel once again, maybe you could turn your attention to the Democrats' VP nominee: a man who -- even on the rare occasions he appears to actually be sober -- makes Dan Quayle look like Albert Einstein.
Compared to who? Obama, the blabbering idiot, and that’s when he’s preaching to the choir.
The actual title that should have posted should have been “Palin Problem.”
National Review pretty nearly managed to eliminate all the conservatives from the race by their STUPID support of Mitt Romney because they thought he was “electable.”
Well, it turned out that he wasn’t.
Now McCain has given us a second chance for a conservative outcome with Sarah Palin, and they don’t like that either.
I noticed that while Bill Buckley was still alive he didn’t say a lot about Mitt Romney. He just kind of stood in the background and smiled, while the board voted to endorse Mitt.
Time for NR to get back to the basics. Fish or cut bait.
No one important.
You’re right. I haven’t. It’s unfortunate that it would have to be personal.
I’m sick of polished pols who BS their way through interviews taking precious minutes to say absolutely nothing. It wastes my time.
I’m sick of people being presumed qualified for the office of the Presidency just because they can read other people’s words off of a teleprompter effectively. I’m bright enough to know it can also mean they lie effectively.
But most of all I’m sick of the Noonan’s and Parker’s of the world using their BS Degrees to try to convince me that it’s “healing” to elect a slick politician who can lie effectively.
No thanks. We had that in the ‘90s. I’ll take doers over talkers any day of the week.
Any pictures of this fat, liberal, bad mouth chick??
I want to hang it on my bulletin board to throw darts at!!
