Kathleen Parker: Sarah Palin's Bridge to Somewhere (Barf Alert)

WASHINGTON -- What did they do with the other Sarah Palin?

I mean the one who bases foreign policy experience on the proximity of Russia to Alaska and who speaks cutely about Vladimir Putin poking his little head into American airspace. Where did they put her?

The Palin who performed so miserably in one-on-one media interviews was nowhere to be seen during Thursday night's debate with Joe Biden. Instead, the affable, tough, determined pit-bull-hockey mom presented to the GOP convention was back with a jaw-jutting, happy-warrior vengeance.

So, yes, I am relieved. I had been concerned that she would stumble badly and humiliate herself. No fair-minded person wanted that. In fact, she managed to control the debate in many respects by bridging from the question asked to the talking point she wanted to hammer.

I honestly had never heard of Parker before any of this. A failing on my part, I suppose, but I see her referenced as some sort of GOP authority by the media. Again, I had never heard of her before this week, and I am fairly up to date on politics.

Neither have I. She strikes me as a MSNBC "conservative." And she certainly got her 15 minutes of fame this week.

Based on the quality of writing displayed in this piece, I’d suggest Kathleen Parker is not qualified to be a “journalist”. And given that most journalists in this country are not worth a garden slug snail trail, I don’t think that should be too high a bar for Kathleen to climb over.
She still fails.

Dear old Kathleen is still drinking deeply of the Haterade, I see. Jealous much, you hag?

Nope, me neither. But I can define her in three words...jealous, jealous, jealous.

The irony is that she is using the move that made McCain famous. Any Republican can rise from obscurity simply by bashing conservatives.

What did they do with the other Kathleen Parker?

I mean the one who bases a persons whole worth on the sour reaction of Couric’s constipated face and who speaks ridiculously about Sarah Palin needing to leave the Republican ticket. Where did they put her?

Neither had I.

She seems pretty lightweight to place so much judgment over an interview with a hostile interviewer.

Oh yeah, Parker is now a “maverick”! Expect a book deal by January 20, 2009.

McCain is like the comedian who sets himself up as the punchline.

Parker is the one out of her league. Gov. Palin has always been genuine. She let Katie Couric push her with loaded questions, In the debate she showed she had learned from the experience - something every graduate student learns in facing very difficult questions on exams. If a question is unreasonably difficult, turn it into one you are prepared to answer. Partial credit is a wonderful thing - I passed many an exam by judicious use of this strategy.

Parker’s column focuses on social issues related to family, children and gender. Having grown up in Florida with four stepmothers and a variety of siblings — half-, step- and whole

No sale. Parker needs to go out to the same pasture as that other cow, Peggy Noonan.

So she's basically the Dr. Laura of the print media. No wonder she hates Palin.
