We’re creeping up on 300 comments in the Buckley thread so let’s keep the “National Review apostates” party going. Here she is, the ‘Cuda’s bete noire, kinda sorta hinting near the end that she’s prepared to pull the lever for The One this November. I think Iowahawk speaks for all of us when he says: It’s time for civility.

This is the woman that thinks she is intellectually superior to Palin? I am not seeing it.

Pretty sure AllahPundit is going to pull the lever for The One. Because it just wouldn’t be as much fun for him otherwise.
Comedy Central, sheesh.

“Ah dooon’t think ah mad ah miiisssstak.”
Foul elitist bitch. Any one want to bet her social circle is almost all liberals?
peacenprosperity on October 14, 2008 at 5:54 PM
Why in God’s name are women and liberals so upset with her?
I had one Democrat tell me last night that he was on the fence for McCain or Obama until Palin.
“Why?”
“Well because she’s just clueless. She says nothing more than conservative Christian talking points.”
“Have you actually listened to what she’s said?”
“No, but I read her quotes in the paper.”
“Do you believe everything you read in the paper about Obama?”
“No.”
“But you do about Palin?”
“Well she’s just inexperienced and new so there’s not much about her to go on.”
Skywise on October 14, 2008 at 5:54 PM
I am proud to say I have never paid the slightest attention to Colbert or Parker.

I’d hit it.
lorien1973 on October 14, 2008 at 5:55 PM
Unbelievable. “Did you make a mistake”
Answer: She [Palin] got a new hair style and some expensive new clothes, who do you think is paying for that?
Seriously, are all women jealous of more attractive women?
Spirit of 1776 on October 14, 2008 at 5:56 PM
Again, why would these disenfranchised “conservatives” vote for Obama and not Barr or Baldwin?
lodge on October 14, 2008 at 5:56 PM
I read her recent book “Saving the Males”. I actually agreed with her on 80%+ of it regarding how American culture has been gradually detroying manhood and how it is leading to all the other problems we are having.
However, like Robert Duvall said, you don’t play Monday morning quarterback during the big game on Sunday with your team in a presidential campaign.
The book of course still made it to the trash today along with Noonan’s very very light book on John Paul II.
We should spank this elitist good not to hurt her but as a loving parent spanks a child because they love their child and are trying to teach them good behavior.
Sapwolf on October 14, 2008 at 5:57 PM
It’s not that anyone is demanding a religious-like devotion to this ticket, lord knows conservatives should be skeptical of McCain and Palin. But damn, how can you principally pull the lever for a leftist when you know you’ll be handing the two law making branches of the government over to rabid liberalism.
Advocate for Barr, advocate people to stay home, andything but Obama. Simple political contrarianism betrays a lack of principal on both her, and Buckley’s part.

In truth in the future I suppose any presidential nominee will have to gather all the socalled conservative pundits together and ask their permission to pick a particular VP..otherwise it goes without saying they will stab their own in the back and jump ship.
Terrye on October 14, 2008 at 5:58 PM
peacenprosperity on October 14, 2008 at 5:59 PM
She is a condescending bitch as well, the quote about “bubba” fantasizing about a good looking woman who can also kill a moose says it all. I think these idiots know that Conservatives may be out in the woods for a few years and they want to jump on what they think will be the winning team. Sad.

These people are Weimar German govt officials dabbling with a new exciting outsider who offers quick comprehenisve solutions. Washington D,C, is Berlin in 1930, just sitting there waiting for the New Order to make everything okay

Let’s cleanse the republican party from these asses. Good riddance. NR must get rid of her ASAP.

While NR is in housecleaning mode, this is one more pundit fraud they ought to waive “bye” to.

amerpundit on October 14, 2008 at 6:03 PM
I’ll be honest. This is insane. It was one thing to go and write a series of weak columns, but to go on liberal shows and trivialize her by her hair, calling her ignorant, and then saying “bubba” loves it, I’m pissed off actually. And I’m a level-headed guy.
I need Ace to write up a rant on his blog so it’ll purge it out of my system.
Spirit of 1776 on October 14, 2008 at 6:03 PM
What I don’t get about these “elite” conservatives (Parker, Brooks, Chris Buckley, etc.) is that while they are all uptight about “risking” the nation to a Palin presidency, so much so that they have gone apostate, they seem positively giddy about the “exciting, unknown change” that a full-blown Socialist will bring.
Are they really just media whores? Culture junkies? Selfish nihilists who just want to see change for change’s sake?
Hannibal Smith on October 14, 2008 at 6:04 PM
Not all, but certainly most.
Esthier on October 14, 2008 at 6:04 PM
What a twit. Kathleen Parker’s disdain for Sarah Palin seems to be more based on envy than any other reason. The fact that she is going on Colbert to spread her message of disgust for Palin shows more about Kathleen Parker’s desire for her opinions to be spread to the left.
I guess she wants to get invited to the fancy parties in the new Obama era. What a disappointment to see what really lived behind that “conservative” facade.
Skeptic on October 14, 2008 at 6:04 PM
Let’s add Matthew Dowd to the “republicans” who hate Palin’s guts.

So, who is excited to vote for McCain/Palin?

1. A lot of us LIKE those Conservative Christian Talking Points. For God’s sake, McCain’s not saying ‘em, I’m darn glad SOMONE is.
2. SHE’S Inexperienced?? Take a look at Obama lately?

She and David Brooks are the “conservative” columnists that my local daily newspaper primarily picks up from syndication (others much less frequently).

Catty Vacuous elitist gas bag. She’s jealous that 20,000 people don’t come and listen to her speak. She probably was thinking the McCain was going to ask HER to be his running mate.

O.K., so she’s a nasty bit*h. No surprise there, but what I am becoming more and more suspicious of is that SOME, not all, but more than you’de think, of these “turncoat brown-noser’s” are just blowing smoke out their arses. They aren’t going to vote Obama any more than I am! They’re just too worried about their “popularity” and they don’t want to look racist and uncool to their peers. You don’t change a lifetime of beliefs to put a fool like Obama in office just because you’re bent out of shape about Sarah Palin.
If she actually IS that shallow, she needs to go the way of that Buckley chap. Don’t let the screen door hit you, Toots. I’m not buying that we have THAT many dipsticks in America that aren’t “getting” what Obama is.
If I wasn’t self-employed, I might be tempted to lie about my opinions too, people are getting C.R.A.Z.Y. this year!
anniekc on October 14, 2008 at 6:08 PM
Abortion Paradox. It seems to me that there is an Abortion Paradox. The more abortions a woman has had, the greater her hatred for Palin. I’m speaking in general terms here, not about anyone in particular.
bloggless on October 14, 2008 at 6:08 PM
Wow. ‘Tis the season to be a traitor to conservatism.

Ann Coulter said it well on Hannity and Colmes the other night. “Kathleen who?”
Sugar Land on October 14, 2008 at 6:09 PM
I’ve adopted Ann Coulter’s line, “Lets get drunk and vote for mccain.”
peacenprosperity on October 14, 2008 at 6:09 PM
The shock that someone from the “outside” could actually make it, scares them.
Imagine, someone that doesn’t drink their wine, someone that doesn’t eat at their restaurants, someone who actually cares for their kids, someone (God forbid) actually sits in the stands and watches their kids play ball, someone who is not an attorney, someone married to a blue-collar man, not from a elitists school…they can’t imagine such a travesty of their elitism, they can’t imagine someone they have to communicate with who really loves living the “country” life…it is beyond them, like a liberal looking at someone praying and going to church, it is beyond their concept of a politician, they have never seen such a thing.

When Coulter turns, the war is lost. She is the true stalwart. She and Limbaugh should have several children and then homeschool them.

CapedConservative on October 14, 2008 at 6:11 PM
The only thing missing from Kathleen Parker was a Huffington accent. Is she so stupid that she would vote for a socialist terrorist-befriending surrenderist just because of her opinion of Gov. Palin’s qualifications? Her conservative bona fides are in doubt.
scrubjay on October 14, 2008 at 6:11 PM
Thus it is safe to conclude all women’s opinions should be ignored. [ducks]
Spirit of 1776 on October 14, 2008 at 6:12 PM
We don’t need the Democrats in opposition, we’ve got our own opposition built in.
Who the H*ll appointed these people “conservative” spokesmen? They are just the coastal elites working for the wrong magazine. They hate flyover America every bit as much as the liberals. I’ll take the race-baiting Congressman Lewis any day; at least I know what side he’s on.
johnsteele on October 14, 2008 at 6:12 PM
right2bright on October 14, 2008 at 6:09 PM
They see their own relevance disappearing, right along with the old media dinosaurs. It’s becoming a gaggle of has-beens and wanna-bes, jumping up and down while screaming, “Look at me! Look at me!”
This sort of thing is their own nuclear option, getting noticed for just a little bit longer and trying to stave off the inevitable.
Bishop on October 14, 2008 at 6:13 PM
Unless the woman you try to ignore knows how to shoot and field dress a moose. :-)
johnsteele on October 14, 2008 at 6:13 PM
Nah. Civility is overrated and historically inaccurate. You’re either ready to play the game or you’re not.
Apparently, “My Friends” doesn’t want to hit hard enough and with all the angles available to him. Oh well. He’ll only have himself to blame on Election Day…

All of the hacks are jumping on the Obama bandwagon betting that he’s going to win – and that they’ll benefit from “coming to their senses”, or “finally seeing the truth” about how great Obama is. Laughable.
marklmail on October 14, 2008 at 6:14 PM
I wonder why these people cannot just shut up?
2008 — year of the EGO over Country.

Yeah, I should have put a disclaimer. Obviously that postulate isn’t true for the top of the pyramid.
Spirit of 1776 on October 14, 2008 at 6:15 PM
Does she right her columns? “Did I say that” “I did” “Did I write that”….BTW Kathleen ,..American’s still don’t know who obama is and he’s still not vetted and his campaign is almost 2 years old!

Note to Conservative elitists: You don’t knock on doors we do. We make the party run, you do not. Go somewhere and be highminded, we’ll call you if we need you, but don’t hold your breath.
Theworldisnotenough on October 14, 2008 at 6:17 PM
I’m going to toss a thought out here; (I don’t know where else to toss it)
What do you think would happen if during the debate, McCain came out and said he was only going to stay in office one term- that he wanted to devote all his time to cleaning up Bush’s messes and then in 4 years, when Obama and Palin had more experience under their belts they could run again. You can alter the facts to fit your ideas, but I wonder if some people wouldn’t find that a decent idea.
anniekc on October 14, 2008 at 6:18 PM
Yep. And boy, is there a day of reckoning coming.
thirteen28 on October 14, 2008 at 6:19 PM
The Bubba comment tells you all you need to know about this woman.
The quicker these people are forced to drop “Conservative” from their title the better.
TheBigOldDog on October 14, 2008 at 6:22 PM
Princess Di was widow dressing for a future king. Much like someone picks out clothing for a ball. These conservative sluts like to play the dress up game in order to attract men.
Palin doesn’t play that game because she doesn’t have to. She is naturally beautiful and accomplished, and she has sucked all the focus on conservative women out of the room. She is much like the new girl at school who comes out of nowhere and becomes prom queen and effectively banishes Parker, Noonan and the rest to wall flower status after they bought new dresses and got all dolled up.
They are simply catty sluts who have been shown up by someone they think they are superior to.
csdeven on October 14, 2008 at 6:23 PM
I know, I know… I pointed that out and he kinda stammered and I let it drop. It was obvious he couldn’t rationally reconcile that but that’s not important. What’s important is she’s RELIGIOUS and therefore must be wrong and can’t possibly be intelligent. Bigotry 101. I wonder how much farther down the leftists will throw their ideology for power.
*flashlight*
Skywise on October 14, 2008 at 6:24 PM
Truly a low moment for parker – who hardly with a stellar record of accomplishment herself. Obama was in the Senate for 143 days (very short legislative history by ANY standard) before announcing his run for President and we can’t talk about Bill Ayers who gave Obama 100 million to run the Annenberg Project or Rev. Wright who baptized Obama’s children and was his pastor for 20 years or Tony Rezko who recruited Obama nearly 20 years ago when Obama was in law school and sold Obama his house below market value or Raila Odinga, the current Prime Minister of Kenya and Obama’s cousin who wants to impose Sharia law in Kenya.
For goodness sakes, Ms. Parker, I know you get MSM love for questioning Gov. Palin’s qualifications for VP, but may I ask on what basis are you endorsing OBAMA’S qualifications to be POTUS??????
Sucking up to Colbert is weak. I tired of parker’s lukewarm conservative mommy tripe years ago.

csdeven on October 14, 2008 at 6:27 PM
I think there’s a big difference between ‘talking points’…the crap you hear running out of the mouths of Obama, Biden, Pelosi, etc…and what Palin has to say.
She pretty much walks the walk and believes in what she says…look at her record. Look at Obama’s record…
oh, wait…he doesn’t have one….
BigWyo on October 14, 2008 at 6:28 PM
He agreed that they’re jealous, not stupid. Women are more likely to hate a woman cause she’s pretty, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be wrong.
A good friend who was a co-worker at the time did that with another co-worker. Most times she seemed completely unreasonable, but in the end, it turned out she was right, that this girl had gotten her job by trading on her looks and flattering the boss.

Jim Treacher on October 14, 2008 at 6:30 PM
Wait, she thinks it is important to find out who is “funding” here new hair style and clothing?
Is she kidding me??? Is she even slightly concerned about who is funding Obama period?
This is madness.
jharada on October 14, 2008 at 6:34 PM
…that Ivory Tower must be quite a place…all the best people are there….
…but it must getting a bit…well…sweatty, being as crowded as it must be by now…sort of locker-room-y…you know…that damp, sharp, sour communal towel smell….
What is Ms. Parker’s objection, really? Sarah’s not slick enough…she’s just a common citizen who’s somehow gotten through….
…Obama, on the other hand, has Ivy League credentials…he’s smooth on TV…the fact that he’s morally bankrupt, that his minions use intimidation and legions of legal goons…and that he seems to feel entitled to the top spot doesn’t seem to register with Ms. P….
…I guess that around National Review the old saying just isn’t true…every boy (or gir) just can’t grow up to be president…you have to be groomed…there’s a certain amount of resume building and ring kissing involved….
…then again, if conservatism is just a theory, and citizens are just cyphers, who cares?
Puritan1648 on October 14, 2008 at 6:35 PM
Worse than madness. This is fashionable.
RushBaby on October 14, 2008 at 6:37 PM
She’s a far quicker study than her opponent, Barack Obama.
What we have figured out from this race is that the more articulate a speaker is, the more you have to parse every word for “nuance”.
We’ve watched Mrs. Palin speak, and she has not had to take back a single plain word she’s said. Every time CNN calls what she had to say false, we learn later it’s true. Terrorists — plural. Ayers, Doehrn. “Bush Doctrine”. She addresses one of the many, and her words are redacted from the video, making her seem like a dummy.
How many politicians say exactly what they mean, and do exactly what they say? Palin’s in that group.
Where’s Obama in all this? Friend of Israel — NOT. Three fingers pointing back as he blames McCain for the country’s economic ills. Rezko, his next door neighbor and the guy who bankrolled his political career — cops a plea. This isn’t Jesus surrounded by sinners — this a crook surrounded by other crooks! The man who would have everyone’s vote count buys off a registrar and gets all of his opponents disqualified because people signed their names using block letters, or a signer used her maiden name!
No civility here. I can’t put a bumper sticker supporting my candidate on my car because I’m afraid of what will happen to my car — or me! But when I go to the polls at the end of the month, I’ll vote my conscience, win or lose.
And I hope I win.
unclesmrgol on October 14, 2008 at 6:37 PM
I’m just joking around.
Parker is committed to her distaste that she coaches in whatever terms she can find. Hair, clothes, speech, etc, all the time not realizing she’s the simple one.
No woman should be judged simply because of Kathleen Parker’s absurd behavior. Parker just embarrasses herself.
Spirit of 1776 on October 14, 2008 at 6:38 PM
I know.
I wasn’t.
I agree that women are often petty and irrational, but I don’t believe that’s always a bad thing.
Esthier on October 14, 2008 at 6:41 PM
Just my thought on these so called *conservative* writers.
They will do anything to keep themselves relevant. In a Obama Prez. they not will be sitting in the “back of the bus” and not under it.
This way they can still play. Still be invited to all the DC cocktail parties, white house get togethers, special conferences given by the elite’s lefty ruling class.
In two words: “Job security”
Over.
1GooDDaDDy on October 14, 2008 at 6:41 PM
That is the first time I have seen her. She is one very ugly skank. LOL That is one homely broad.

OR should I be asking if NRO is now supporting Obama?

I honestly had no idea who she was until her article attacking Palin. It’s not like I had never been to NRO before that either.
These “conservatives” seem to be enjoying their spotlight, how convenient.
aikidoka on October 14, 2008 at 6:52 PM
So true.
Sapwolf on October 14, 2008 at 6:52 PM

Well at least Colbert is almost believable when pretending to be a Conservative Republican. Kathleen Parker can’t pull it off any more.
Tim Pancoast on October 14, 2008 at 6:56 PM
Because the truly disenfranchised cannot vote at all.
If he cites any source other than FoxNews, that would be your response. Get over it.

So you can tell when someone is masking abortions but I can’t tell when someone is masking racism?
****less.
The Race Card on October 14, 2008 at 7:00 PM
Kathleen Parker isn’t jealous. She’s consumed with guilt and furious that Sarah Palin catalyzed memories that were supposed to remain entombed for eternity.
I’m curious to know where and when Kathleen had that abortion.
ManlyRash on October 14, 2008 at 7:00 PM
Until this election cycle I barely knew who this people were. I followed conservative politics since I threw off my lefty leanings back in the early ’80’s.
I hardly ever read them. Indeed, I didn’t care what they said.
Your right…why should I care about them now. Nothing they’ve said before ever helped me come to my conservative ideals today.
Who needs them…Bambi does, and they are helping him.
Over.
