I never trusted Peggy. Too uppity, urbane, and self-absorbed.
I thought Kathleen Parker was a rising columnist with appeal to conservative and moderate voters. She could write well.
IOW, Peggy’s defection is not surprising and I’m not interested in the “why.”
But, Parker’s poison pen is abrupt. It looks to me like rank jealousy. I can understand why she is jealous, even envious, of John McCain’s running mate.
