Why We Still Crush On Kathleen Parker
We’re not sure what the hell we were watching on Monday night (football?) but somehow we missed a lively back-and-forth between our favorite conservative columnist and our favorite cable commentator … both South Carolinians, incidentally.
What were they talking about? GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who in the interest of full disclosure continues to dictate our entire editorial philosophy using nothing but her legs and that irrepressibly irresistible “you betcha” thing.
Seriously, people. We’re putty.
Of course we’ve been “putty” a lot longer when it comes to Kathleen Parker, the conservative syndicated columnist who last month ignited the wrath of GOP-dom by daring to suggest that Palin wasn’t qualified to be a really, really old guy’s Vice President.
The resulting firestorm earned Parker - a drop-dead conservative MILF in her own right - the unmitigated contempt of a huge swath of the Republican base, as well as an appearance on the hugely-popular faux cable news show, The Colbert Report, to which she wore some smokin’ sling backs, in case you were wondering.
You can watch the interview in its entirety by clicking here, but here’s a particularly telling quote from Parker concerning Palin’s appeal …
You know what, we’re both from South Carolina, do you know what a fantasy it is for these guys, for Bubba, to have a good-lookin’ woman who likes to hunt Moose?
Uhhhh … really? We wouldn’t know anything about that. Not a thing.
Anyway, Parker has received over 12,000 e-mails (very few “happygrams” among them) since her controversial column first ran, and even though she acknowledged Palin’s better-than-expected performance in the Vice Presidential debate two weeks ago, she told Colbert that she can still “feel my friends being a little chilly towards me.”
Well not us, Kathleen. In fact, we’re personally available to help warm you back up if you’re interested.
Having said that, we don’t see eye-to-eye with Parker on this one. We think Palin’s “inexperience” is a good thing, particularly when you consider what a mess “experienced” politicians have made of this country.
But Parker’s doing exactly what she’s always done, saying what she thinks and not giving much of a damn who she pisses off in the process.
Which is why we’re still crushing on her …

Nobody’s crushing on KP besides you, the “State” newspaper, & her generous host.
P.S. Did you detect pantyhose in those sling backs? That would be an interesting tidbit. She should’ve worn them on national TV, even if she shuns them ’round the islands.
P.P.S. How many moose did you count in D.C.? That’s about Sarah Palin’s relevancy quotient.
