Parker Problem
She's out of her league.
If at one time conservatives were considered heretical for swimming upstream against Marxist orthodoxy, they now face condemnation from a few sniveling pundits for swimming downstream — away from Kathleen Parker.
To express reservations about her qualifications to be a syndicated columnist — and possibly a cable news channel pundit — is to risk bruising her fragile ego.
Some of the passionately conservative critics of Parker who attacked her personally deserved some of the backlash they received. But circumstances have changed since Parker was introduced as just a social issue commenter — what a difference an election with a normal conservative makes — and a more complicated picture has emerged.
As we’ve seen and heard more from the NRO columnist, it is increasingly clear that Parker is a problem. Quick study or not, she doesn’t know enough about the conservative movement to be a pundit beyond MSNBC.
Parker needs to admit she is Way Out of Her League. Look, she's generally solid on social issues, but she let the Beltway warp her thinking. Parker was angry that she'd have to face the chiding of the Beltway set because she spoke in support of Gov. Palin, then Palin did poorly in a few interviews. How dare she embarrass Parker like that!
Parker then dug in deeper when she faced resistance from the popular conservative movement. Now Parker has to suffer the embarrassment of having spent her last two weeks being a useful idiot for the Democrats and media, while Governor Palin has gone on to field-dress Joe Biden in a critical debate, and is back in the game.
What to do?
Only Parker can save her disintegrating credibility. She can grovel endlessly to the conservative movement and to Gov Palin. No one would criticize a conservative who could admit they let the Beltway and their own ego warp their thinking.
Do it for the Gipper.
