Methinks Parker has some sick kind of lezbo girl crush on Sarah. That’s the only thing that can explain her rabid obsession with Gov. Palin.
Parker can’t write about anything else. She must not be able to think about anything else, either. Worst of all, she doesn’t even realize how ridiculous her Sarah fetish is making her look like a fool.
Gezz, womyn, get a f’n life already!
There are times when I think women over-blow sexism. IMO, Palin has had an avalanche of it come crashing down on her, and she hasn’t complained. The real kicker here is that some of the worst of it has been hurled at her by women in the press.
What the hell are these women thinking? You touched on how she is dismissed, because McCain would only have picked her because she is pretty.
This smacks of the office babes hovering over the water cooler, trashing a new bright woman who was hired into a supervisory position, as if she couldn’t be qualified because she is attractive.
Palin is the real deal. She’s a popular governor. She’s a good mother. She’s got great core values. She is personable and a great communicator. And you know what, contrary to what liberal a—holes will tell you, I’m not threatened by this woman at all. I am proud of her. I can’t wait to vote for her when she is the top of a ticket I am considering.
So who is afraid of Palin? Who is threatened? Leftists, in particular leftist women.
This is such a nightmare for bitter burnt out media hackettes, who if anything, must be extremely jealous.
First of all, who is this nobody Parker, I haven’t even heard of her.
More importantly,
Krauthammer...too late.
Noonan, Brooks, Krauthammer, Parker should be put on a conservative list of RINOs and any conservative magazine that accepts regular columns from any of the above (and others)...that conservative magazine should be boycotted and mocked.
Catty has become the crazy aunt in the attic.
In Parker's case I would reword that to being the Snow White Stepmother Syndrome.
Only Kathleen can be the prettiest/smartest/most wonderful in the land.
This would be true if it applied to all women, but it doesn’t. My wife liked her at first sight. Same with my female coworkers. In fact, I don’t know a single Republican or Conservative woman who isn’t raving about Sarah. I got a bunch of those JeffHead “I’m voting for Sarah” bumper stickers and the ladies scoffed them up in a few minutes and now they’re all over everybody’s cars (this is in Alabama).
Also, I think if you polled most of our FReeper women you’d find they also liked Sarah immediately.
Parker is obsessed with Palin. She’s gone insane. I can see her in the looney bin someday still writing crap like this.
So, let's not give her hits. It's the meanest thing we can do, deny her an audience. It's time for someone with some heft (how about it, Ann?) to repudiate Noonan and Parker (who I never heard of until a liberal told me about what she'd written).
NO HITS FOR RINO WRITERS
Dolling! Such a brilliant idea!
Palin may be a Rorschach test of liberal neurosis. But all is not lost.
The Freudian silliness of the election campaign did bring us the Da Vinci Code
speculations about the Paris Hilton celebrity ad, about which some graduate
students, under the influence of esoteric Straussian philosophy, will be able
to have a field day with in future doctoral dissertations on the 2008 election.
It's deeper than Palin. Much deeper. Dionysian conservatives are the new demographic.
You spelled ‘vrigades’ wrong.
It appears that you are a prophetess!
From Rich Lowry and National Review Online: The Corner
"Civil War on the Right" [Rich Lowry]
"E.J. Dionne writes an anti-intellectualism-comes-home-to-roost column today. A couple of things: 1) Liberals always say conservatives have been making a populist appeal for decades, and at the same time that the Right used to be intelligent in a way it isn't anymore. Well then, populism must be compatible with intelligent conservatism, if they lived together for 30 years. 2) Gov. Palin is supposedly the apotheosis of populist conservatism and shows how low we've been brought by our anti-intellectualism. But this is reading way too much into an accident of circumstance. It's not as if the entire history of post-war conservatism was building to the moment when McCain settled on Palin. The McCain team selected her because they thought she'd be energetic and fresh and they wanted to be bold—that's it. And the real split over Palin isn't between conservatives who think knowledge is important and those who don't. It's between those who think she doesn't yet know enough (and/or never will know enough) and those who think she knows more than she's given credit for and/or will learn more as she goes along. 3) Dionne writes "conservatives came to believe that if they repeated phrases such as 'Joe the Plumber' often enough," they could appeal to working-class voters. Again, this is reading way too much into an accident of circumstance. Conservatives embraced Joe the Plumber because he was a symbol of aspiration and could help make the case against the Obama tax plan at a time when the Republican candidate wasn't doing it very well. 4) Finally, I would note that several of the pro-Obama, anti-Palin pieces that have gotten so much attention have hardly been models of close reasoning. It’s just that they confirm the prejudices of people itching to declare the end of intellectual conservatism."
"It’s just that they confirm the prejudices of people itching to declare the end of intellectual conservatism."
Largely by those who don't even know what "intellectual conservatism" is. If E.J. Dionne has even read George Nash, Russell Kirk, or Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn attentively, I'll eat the draft of Obama's 2009 tax code.
If liberals really believe this stuff, they might as well go back to finding a conservative Da Vinci Code conspiracy intersecting the Washington Monument and Paris Hilton's ass. There were no catcalls that liberals were abandoning their lofty intellectual heights and urbane sophistication to pander to lecherous hillbillies when they nominated Bill Clinton in 1992. Gee, why was that?
Well I did say ‘most’ women. Freeper women are usually the most fair-minded out there!
Stuning.
I don’t know what I was thinking...
