Conservative Kathleen Parker mocks Newt and Dinesh in her latest column.
I have to admit, I find her occassionally very funny and on target.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/14/AR2010091405454.html

Of course I knew it all along. President Obama is a Kenyan anti-colonialist and that's why he doesn't get us. He's a ticked-off African. So goes the latest in Obama-theory, originated by the usually rational conservative thinker Dinesh D'Souza and endorsed by none other than Newt Gingrich, Republican anarchist and onetime speaker of the House of Representatives.

Cue soundtrack to "Twilight Zone." Or "Psycho." Or, I dunno, Tarzan summoning an elephant stampede to quash yet another pestilential imperial invasion.

Actually, scratch that. Call in the shrinks and bring out the couch. If a political season can jump the shark, we have an eye-popping new exhibit for Sea World.

What's next? Obama is an extraterrestrial pod deposited on Planet Earth to occupy a human shell and get elected leader of the free world so that he can lull the population into complacent dependency in advance of a full invasion of body snatchers?

2. Dinesh D'Souza is a nutcase
dressed up with nice words. His "political analysis" reminds me of the "history" taught by Victor Davis Hanson.

It usually reads really well but if you scratch the surface you'll find a whole boatload of crazy

3. Kathleen Parker: "Obama, our first female president"
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/29/AR2010062903997.html

If Bill Clinton was our first black president, as Toni Morrison once proclaimed, then Barack Obama may be our first woman president.

4. Parker was one of the first Republicans to rip into Palin as unqualified and she caught hell for it
It'll be interesting to see what she makes of O'Donnell and the freak in NY going up against Cuomo.

5. Entertaining LTTE In Austin American Statesman PRINT Edition
There was an entertaining letter to the editor in the Austin American Statesman's newsprint edition (Which means I don't have a link to it). Did you know that Kathleen Parker is now a "progressive liberal"?

Really. That's how some of the local wingnuts now see her.

:rofl:

6. Parker can be loud at criticizing her own party.
That is why the wingnuts hate her.

Parker was the first to demand that Palin get off McCain's presidential ticket, the day after the Couric interviews that revealed Palin to be the completely uninformed person that she is.
