Kathleen Parker wrote an article that was otherwise not worth reading except that 1. it appeared in National Review, and 2. She called on Palin to step down.
Now the old media are using Parker to bludgeon Palin. The Reuters article cites three elements that paint a troubling picture for Palin. 1. Tasergate 2. The media have piled on 3. 'Conservatives' are starting to pile on.
THAT IS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no Reuters article without Kathleen Parker's stupid piece. "Tasergate" is a left wing lynching, and old news, and no one takes seriously a media article saying a politician is in trouble because the media is piling on her. There is no article without Parker. Brooks has zero credibility with conservatives, they couldn't have done it with him alone. Parker doesn't either, especially after this, but now Reuters had two names to throw in - National Review and Brooks.
Is this what Parker pictured unfolding? How about an apology for throwing blood in the water when the old media fish were already circling? Parker owes Gov. Palin a tearful apology. It matters not a whit that she thinks she was speaking truth. NO GOOD COULD COME OF IT so it amounts to piling on a good person who has already been mercilessly abused.
Now as the media sharks are using Parker to try and destroy Palin, Parker continues to try to justify herself, but she knows now that what she did was narcissistic and destructive, not to mention incredibly stupid and ill-advised, assuming she actually wants to see a republican president.
Did she suppose that McCain might actually dump her? NO MATTER THE STATED REASON that is what people would perceive if she left. He's going to throw away all of the interest generated among women? Does he put another woman on the ticket? Anything Mac would do would look like naked voter manipulation, or would be resented, or both. Parker is THOUGHTLESS or MAD. The only winning scenario if Palin leaves is if the public loves her so much that they punish the democrats and the press for the abominable treatment of her. Not likely. It would probably be seen as a vindication of their nastiness.
The left now loves Parker, and most of the right would rather never hear another word from her, ever. If Obama wins and this Parker insanity plays any role in it, she's the new Tokyo Rose.
