Sarah Palin Doesn't Need Parenting Advice from Kathleen Parker

This year Ms. Parker's "Valentine" to Sarah Palin, an article titled "Sarah Palin should beware of exploiting her youngest child" (www.w,shingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/12/AR2010021204006.html?nav=rss_opinion/columns), should send a thrill up at least one of Matthew's legs.

Ms. Parker concluded her catty article this way:

"Perhaps the erstwhile governor still thinks in first-person plural, viewing Trig as part of herself. But he is also a separate individual deserving of privacy, if unable to say the words she needs to hear: 'No more, Mama, please.'

"Another political mother, Hillary Clinton, made good on her commitment to protect her child's privacy. Agree with her politics or not, most Americans would concede her wisdom in shielding Chelsea from media exposure until her daughter could fend for herself.

"In the spirit of which, speaking in second-person imperative -- mother to mother -- be careful, Sarah."

Mrs. Palin needs to continue to be herself...and wary of the advice of strangers pretending to be helpful and concerned about Mrs. Palin's youngest child, Trig.

Ms. Parker as a well-meaning Palin adviser?

Since Sarah Palin is spending two weeks in the “Lower 48,” everyone seems to want to take a shot at her.

Mitt Romney is gearing up as his book will be released in two weeks. I am sure whatever the Team Romney strategy is, Kathleen Parker is part of it.

Thank you NY Cajun. Are you still reveling in the Saints win?! Fat Tuesday has been greatly extended this year, eh?

I read this yesterday, Parker is such a moron. Why doesn't she just admit, if Palin had of aborted Trig she would be championing her.

I began taking Parker’s words with a grain of salt several years ago when she pronounced Hillary Clinton “well qualified” to be president. Anybody remember any other supposedly conservative columnist making that declaration? Then during the 2008 campaign she sniffed that Republicans didn’t deserve to win the presidency. Obviously, by default, Democrats deserved to win it according to Parker’s infallible logic. And now she’s afflicted with PDS. Why anyone takes Parker seriously is my question.

mitt and parker are both liars, liberals and support laws that directly challenge the WORD of GOD!
