“If you’re going to bag on Parker, note that Charles Krauthammer, George Will, David Brooks, and David Frum.”
I noticed them as it happened. Krauthammer is brilliant, but is a Jew from Canada and does not understand Palin or her appeal. Will has spent his career in DC and has always been a borderline elitist snob. Not that familiar with Frum, but Brooks is just the pretend conservative for the NYT. He’s a country club, Rockefeller sort. All these guys are the old line Rockefeller sorts who are somewhat embarrassed by the conservative Republicans from flyover country.
They all seem to forget and dismiss what a lift Palin gave to McCain’s DIW campaign. The financial crisis has changed things more than any other factor, and that’s not Palin’s fault, and it’s not her fault how silly McCain looked declaring an unnecessary suspension of the campaign.
But still, Palin was terribly and incompetently mishandled by the McCain campaign. She can learn anything she needs to learn, but they have foolishly played into the MSMs hands and let them make her qualifications the issue. We’ll see if she can make up for the campaign’s mistakes.
And they are spending little or no time pointing out that Obama is the most unqualified presidential nominee in modern times, or since WWII.
It’s McCain and his campaign managers who have screwed up royally, and might have squandered the very best thing that happened to them since he became the nominee. Sarah has a big task tonight, but if she falls short the blame still lies 100% with the incompetent management of her role in the campaign.
