Kathleen Parker: I'm 'Slightly to the Right of Center;' Fan of Obama

On Thursday's Larry King Live, future anchor Kathleen Parker verified her tenuous conservative credentials, as she identified herself as a "conservative," but added, "a pox on everybody's house, as far as I'm concerned." She later confessed that she "would put myself...slightly to the right of center," and that she was "a big fan of Barack Obama as he came into office...I didn't want him to fail."

Anchor Larry King brought on Parker and future co-host Eliot Spitzer of "Client Number Nine" fame during the first half of the 9 pm Eastern hour. Three minutes in, King asked about the format of the show, which begins on October 4. After the two briefly described it, the columnist stated that "Eliot is identified as a Democrat and I'm identified as a conservative." Spitzer replied, "Well, you said Democrat/conservative, not Republican," and the resulting exchange led to Parker revealing how she saw her position politically.

Honestly I never heard of her. She is a CNN personality from the beginning. Some nobody.

She later confessed that she "would put myself...slightly to the right of center,"

I would put her at a cocktail party in Georgetown.

Slightly right of center?

She bashes Palin and social conservatives, is pro-gay marriage, pro-choice, praises O’Bummer for being smart, and rarely, if ever, worries about his socialist rampage.

How about leaning to the left?

On a scale of 1-10 on the success of her CNN show with Love Potion #9, I give it a -7. Ms. Iampoor, of This Week infamy on ABC, is another one that needs to have a Plan B ready.

ever notice they get a conservative, so to speak, against a true blue rat.....

won't watch, and don't care.....these people are dead to me......LOL

[castlebrew]

More like a mugwump, to my thinking.

A bird that sits on a fence with its mug on side and its wump on the other...

She later confessed that she "would put myself...slightly to the right of center"

And when do you plan to put yourself there, Kathleen?

[Steelers6]

Kathleen Parker, she’s slightly right of center in DC. A town that votes 90% socialist and of course an Obama voter. I attack conservatives.

[cruise_missile]

Center to her is Karl Marx. Or maybe Groucho. She is pretty confused.

“I’m ‘Slightly to the Right of Center”

The center of what? Ignorant liberal...

KATHLEEN PARKER:

But am I disappointed? On some issues, yes. Wall Street- he hasn't done enough.

Oh, I think Barry has done quite a bit to Wall Street. Which is exactly why we still have no recovery and unemployment at 10%.

[VeniVidiVici]

CNN is desperately trying to promote this show. Who the hell will watch it? Folks will look at it on the guide and say, “Elliot Spitzer? Why does he have a show? And who is this Kathleen Parker? Did he do her too?”

[funfan]

,” but added, “a pox on everybody’s house, as far as I’m concerned.” What did she mean by that statement?

Has Parker decided if she wants to be married to Obama or Romney, yet?

Kathleen, you’re mostly full of crap.

[RoadTest]

“I didn’t want him to fail.”

That’s because you didn’t know what he was going to do.
