As conservative columnists go, you won’t find one much more reliable than Kathleen Parker. During a successful career in punditry, Ms. Parker has never met a Democrat who didn’t have her immediately reaching for a stiff switch and glancing toward the woodshed. This background makes it all the more interesting that the recent interview between Sarah Palin and Katie Couric seems to have been a bridge too far. Check out just a few of her comments on Governor Palin from this last offering.
It was fun while it lasted.
Ms. Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.
My cringe reflex is exhausted.
If BS were currency, Ms. Palin could bail out Wall Street herself.
(To see how much of a change of heart this is, check out one of Parker’s earlier columns where she was simply gushing over the Alaska Governor.) So what solution does Kathleen Parker see to “the Palin problem” at this point? It’s under the bus you go, Governor.
Only Ms. Palin can save Mr. McCain, her party and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first.
Do it for your country.
