Poshington's Worst

In a column in which she tries to make the argument that "the benighted East Coast media" was responsible for making Sarah Palin a national figure (yes, really!), everyone's least favorite "conservative" columnist talks to a few of her pals from Beltway cocktail parties:

"Let's face it, she just doesn't really want to govern, and she's doing what's best for her," said a Republican campaign strategist who has worked with Palin.

"This is a win-win," said another. "It's a win for her because she is not politically viable, and now hopefully she can make a lot of money, have balance and affect culture in a positive way. It's a win for the Republican Party because she was the female version of [George W.] Bush in some ways. She is not intellectually curious. We need and have smart, competent alternatives."

And I'm sure those "smart, competent alternatives" aren't at all a bunch of squishy moderates in the McCain mold, seeing as how the unnamed people quoted are likely, um, McCain staffers who still can't wait to shift the responsibility from the complete and utter clusterfuck they made out of the campaign onto Palin. Yeah.

Oh, and the thing about Palin being able to "make a lot of money" is a running theme throughout Parker's column. When she's not implying that Palin is a rube or that she's dishonest, Kathleen insinuates that the real motive behind all of this is that she's, well, a greedy bitch.

I'll say this: I'm not sure why Palin chose to resign.  If I happened to be one of her advisers, I might have told her not to do that.  But that's just my uninformed opinion.

Enjoy those cocktails and invites to the best parties, Kathleen.  Sure, you might not pocket any money there, but you'll get quotes for your columns.

Who's greedy now?
