Conservative scribe says Palin should drop out
September 26th, 2008 at 10:20am Pat Cunningham
Â
Kathleen Parker, the conservative columnist whose work appears in more than 300 papers, including the Rockford Register Star, SAYS Sarah Palin is “clearly out of her league” and should quit the Republican presidential ticket.
Argues Parker: “If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself.”
And this is from someone who likes Palin and wanted her to succeed.
UPDATE: Aides to John McCain REPORTEDLY are complaining that Palin is “clueless” and that her performances in mock debates have been “disastrous.”
UPDATE II: CNN’S Jack Cafferty calls Palin “pathetic”:

It is very clear now why the McCain campaign has shielded her from the press. She has no idea how badly she has done the the foreign policy issue.
So, I can see Chicago from my kitchen window, does that mean I live in Chicago. Just plaid stupid.

Well said, Helen. I can see the moon from my house, but that doesn’t make me an astronaut.

i once watched a rocket launched on TV,,,,am I now a credential Rocket Scientist? This lady is a moron and an embarrassment….\"out of her league\" is a kind way of saying she is INCOMPETENT..the idea that this old wringly, cancer ridden, PTSD suffering fart will probably die before he completes is term and leave that idiot in charge should be enough for impeachment if the sky falls in and he gets elected due to racism.

Kathleen Parker’s artilces do not belong on the pages of
National Review. With her anti-Palin article, I
believe she should be on staff at Dailykos.
When Parker runs a city and a state … and,
successfully fight’s corruption … and gets a
9 billion dollar energy project for her state, and generates an 85% approval rating from her state,
maybe then her credibility, and opinion would be worth something.
Instead, she is merely a critic, who from the sidelines, has betrayed Republicans, and the readership of Nationalreview

Let me see if I have this straight…..
* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you’re
“exotic, different.
* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, a quintessential American story.
* If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you’re a maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re well
grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional
Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district
with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate
representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership
experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city
council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s second highest ranking executive.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while
raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you’re not a real Christian.
*If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you’re a Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state’s school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant , you’re very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city
community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family’s values don’t represent America ’s.
If you’re husband is nicknamed “First Dude”, with at least one
DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t register to vote until age 25
and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of
Alaska from
the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now
