Kathleen Parker: Newt Gingrich and the forgiveness ploy

Wasn't she fired because of Client Number 9?

Gingrich’s sins of the flesh ultimately are of less importance than the narcissism and grandiosity that compel his actions.

Oh?

Is narcissism bad? Is grandiosity bad?

Then I guess Obama is toast

[ought-six]

KP assails Gingrich as a narcissist, yet she unabashedly supported the biggest narcissist in American politics today (Obama). Although, one would be hard-pressed to conclude — between Obama and Bill Clinton — upon whom that title should rightfully fall; but Bill Clinton is not, arguably, in American politics today, at least as a candidate or officeholder.

I don’t who is more annoying, Parker or Noonan. I think Parker is the dumber of the two.

Parker is a hack writer hired by the POST because they needed a house “Republican”.

Only Democrats read her. Her job is to validate the beliefs of liberals about conservatives she hates, though she pretends to be one.

She is part of the Obama media...pay her no attention, maybe she will go away.

Who IS this woman anyway? We only here from this ash hole when she has something to say attacking conservatives.

What is it with the insiders in DC and their claws being out for anyone but Romney?

[marron]

This is a decision and a judgement each of us has to make with regard to Gingrich. Either its a ploy, or it was sincere.

My view is that he saw his life unravel when he saw his life’s ambition taken from him, and he had to do some real soul-searching.

My view also is that God gave him his life back. And he knows it.

If you don’t believe he was sincere, then you can’t vote for him. I do support him. I like Santorum and if he was the nominee I’d gladly support him. But Gingrich is a warrior. I’m glad he is back in the fight.

I don't think Newtie was looking for sympathy. He was pointing out the obvious, the political establishment/media cabal smearing every candidate that is not Their Guy.

No matter, it's just Kathleen securing her chair at the next Establishment dinner party. Gotta say what you gotta say.

[Hugin]

He correctly counted on the empathy of his fellow man, if not necessarily womankind,

Polls in SC show Newt winning among women.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Actually she was fired By Client Number 9.

Interesting that Kathleen Parker doesn’t want to talk about the circumstances of her first marriage and subsequent divorce and then her 2nd marriage. And why she kept the name of her first husband (Parker) and didn’t take the one of her current one (Cleveland).

Are you sure they aren’t the same person? Have they ever been seen in the same room at the same time?

Forgiveness is not a ploy, more a necessity

[gswilder]

Any why do we post garbage from the NY times?
