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.

I remember watching a clip of Laura Ingrahm positively shredding Parker on Fox News once. Parker was so flustered, so owned by Ingrahm she looked like she was going to cry.

Liberals who pretend to be conservatives will always have a job in the communist, state-controlled media. She’s has no integrity, but she makes a good buck.

Explains why I don’t read Parker anymore. I started viewing her articles with deep skepticism a few years ago when she declared Hillary Clinton was “well-qualified” to be president. She’s proved my skepticism correct.

"memorable"

There's a tremendous amount of nothingness in all her articles.
