I believe this is the third polemic by Kathleen Parker again Sarah Palin which I have encountered in the last couple of weeks. One might understand and even forgive a columnist for staking out a position with respect to a candidate in the presidential campaign in order to go on the record and tell the world that you disapprove of the choice of the vice presidential candidate. But Parker has gone way beyond that. She has done it repeatedly. Worse, she is catty. She is so convulsed in her dislike of Sarah Palin that he is, for a professional writer, utterly artless in these attacks.

At the risk of committing the same sins which ought to embarrass Kathleen Parker, I can only conclude that this is a female thing that so antagonizes a woman who purports to be a conservative. Perhaps not fair to say that she's become unhinged but the following paragraph proves that she's utterly departed logic:

Recognizing oneself in a member of the opposite sex (or the same sex, as the case may be) is a powerful invitation to bonding. Narcissus fell in love with his own image reflected in the river, imagining it to be his deceased and beloved sister’s. In McCain’s case, it doesn’t hurt that his reflection is spiked with feminine approval.

Ms. Parker, just how many people do you think you can actually convince that McCain picked Palin out of sexual narcissism? No one believes that John McCain is so confused that he sees himself to have any physical resemblance to Sarah Palin. Your entire construct is so absurd as make yourself the fool.

There is however another explanation to explain Kathleen Parker's behavior. She is making a name for herself and she sees a season when maverick conservatives may even become a special pet of the rest of the media in the age of Obama. It's as good a career choice as any for a female columnist on the make.

Ms. Parker either you are a fool or you are a damn cynic and a worse, someone who had turned against her own for personal advantage.

My husband called it first. Then, a brilliant, 75-year-old scholar and raconteur confessed to me over wine: “I’m sexually attracted to her. I don’t care that she knows nothing.”

********

BWAAAAAAHAAA, how did I know for Kathleen it would be over wine with a brilliant scholar. Parker is eaten up and it’s killing her that everyone else isn’t falling in line behind her. Now, not only is Palin unqualified, she’s using her feminine wiles to hoodwink McCain and most likely the rest of the male populace. So not only is Sarah a dope, but so is McCain and everyone else who thinks she will make a good VP.

Kathleen get a grip, your smug nature combined with all that envy and hatred is not an attractive sight.

Wow. What happened to Kathleen Parker? I remember a time when she wasn’t a Maureen Dowd clone. The next thing you know she’ll be quoting “Sex and the City” like it’s Aristotle.

Kathleen Parker is grumpy, and needs some moose stew to cheer her up, or some moose helper:

PLEASE DON’T GIVE “VICHY REPUBLICANS” ANY HITS!!!

If Obama was short, fat and unattractive, he’d have the same chance of getting the Dem nomination as Al Sharpton. Heck. He’d BE Al Sharpton.

Kathleen Parker is to Sarah Palin what Maureen Dowd is to Catherine Zeta-Jones.

There's only one word I have for Mrs. Parker:

UGH!
