... biggest fund-raiser in her party, which is a sure way to win friends and allies. In short, the excellent adventure of Sarah Palin will continue. When does reality get in the way of the GOP base? EJ Dionne: Conservatives are at each other's throats, and here's what's revealing about how divided they are: The critics of John McCain and the critics of Sarah Palin represent entirely different camps. Kathleen Parker: My husband called it first. Then, a brilliant 75-year-old ...
McCain's Crush
Taylor Marsh —
... It had to come from a conservative and again this season Kathleen
Parker steps in it. But, finally, someone else wrote this so I didn’t have
to be the first one. Listen to Patrick J. Buchanan, Lawrence O’Donnell, the
guy next door... Alec Baldwin, for heaven’s sake. It’s something that has been
happening between female voters and their president off and on for decades.
It’s simply the reverse effect. Utilizing the "devastating" New
York Times Magazine piece, which I talked about the other night and ...
Has McCain Hastened The Demise Of The “Reagan Coalition?”
Firedoglake —
... Is this the year the majority of Americans wises up and realizes that they never get to be GOP cronies with their hands in the taxpayer's wallets but are, instead, the suckers perpetually taken for a ride by the modern Republican party? With reports of circular firing squads forming within GOP ranks and among McCain's top advisors, I guess we'll see.
Andy Card: Palin ‘Introduced Women To Participating’ In The Political Process
Think Progress —
... Today in the Washington Post, conservative columnist Kathleen Parker suggests that Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) “judgment may have been clouded” by Gov. Sarah Palin’s (R-AK) good looks when he chose her for his running mate. Responding on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Andy Card, President Bush’s former White House chief of staff, said McCain had chosen Palin because she could “introduce” women to politics: ...

Who picked Sarah Palin?
Shakesville —
Kathleen Parker seems to think that John McCain did, and he did so because he was smitten with her. My husband called it first. Then, a brilliant 75-year-old scholar and raconteur confessed to me over wine: "I'm sexually attracted to her. I don't care that she knows nothing." Finally, writer Robert Draper closed the file on the Sarah Palin mystery with a devastating article in this Sunday's New York Times Magazine: "The Making (and Remaking) of McCain." McCain didn't know her. He didn't vet her. His campaign team had barely an impression. In a ...
Taking a Big Chance
The American Spectator —
... Can't be too sure about Mr. Kathleen Parker, though. He's the
husband of the wife who now has
discovered that McCain chose Palin because he found her
irresistibly attractive. Unable to get anyone in the McCain camp
to confirm that that was the case, Mrs. Parker had to rely on her
husband's insights, along with those, solicited over wine, of an
unnamed 75-year-old gentleman, whose experience in such matters
is apparently not to be confused with her husband's. But it does
put into perspective the cavalier behavior of one Sen. Ted
Stevens -- that would be, of ...
That's because most American vote with their wallets, not their genitals
Brilliant at Breakfast —
... Keith Olbermann declared Kathleen Parker the daily "Worst Person in the World" last week for this opinion piece in which she obliquely throws out the idea that perhaps John McCain wasn't thinking with the Big Head when he decided on Sarah Palin as a running mate. It's not beyond the realm of possibility, given McCain's history with the ladies. I happen to think it was more a question of McCain's neocon wingnut campaign people wanting to shore up the base combined with a misguided notion that disgruntled Hillary supporters will vote for anything with breasts and a vagina. ...

... of it all. Arch, patronizing, preoccupied with Palin as a foil, overly fond of gimmicky language like “oogedy-boogedy” and “‘pubbies”: I’ve seen this movie before too, and one Dowd, really, is enough. Exit question: Is that an unfair comparison — to Dowd, I mean? After all, she’s never written a column seriously asserting that McCain picked Palin partly because he thought she was hot .
