Even the Republicans have had enough. Here’s an excerpt from “Palin Problem,” an article by writer and frequent Bill O’Reilly guest Kathleen Parker, published today on National Review Online:
It was fun while it lasted.
Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.

Gramps picked her, he’s stuck with her. A tangible, graphic illustration of mccain’s inability to make a rational decision.
flightoftheseabird
Well besides the fact that now that she is the nominee it would take 2/3 of the state GOP chairs to sign-off on her withdrawal. Grampy decided after a 15 min phone call to pick her, he is stuck with his rash decision.

But she’s anti-choice, anti-gay and pro-guns. Nothing else matters to the Christian right that controls the Republican party. They might pretend that foreign policy and the military matter to them, but their deafening, prolonged applause of Palin shows their true colours.
CHURCHILL-Y
Jeez, how convenient.
Now Obamatrons are Bill O’Reilly fans. Has Olbermann approved of this? Love the displays of hatred and meltdown expressed for Sarah from wackos no matter their ideology. It’s hilarious!
Go Sarah Go!!!!
McCain ★ Palin ’08

George F Will, Kathleen Parker… Obamatron?
Well there is one thing we cannot call churchie and that is a rat because he would have left the McCan’t ship a long time ago.
And we can’t call McCain a flip flopper because I think you actually have to have a clue… a flounder is more like it.
and as for Miss Alaska … we are over the joke. I am sure their is a witch somewhere that needs burning.

She’s a vacuous cooze. She couldn’t hold a candle to Hillary or any real female politician…including the reputable GOPers, like Olympia Snowe.
I’m glad even conservatives have the sense to see through this pathetic ruse. There *may* be hope for them.

Caribou Barbie came across as a babbling idiot in her interviews with Katie Couric. She didn’t answer the questions put to her, and instead, strung together disconnected ad incoherent GOP talking points and looking like an actor struggling to remember her lines.
She is going to be toast at the VP debate, assuming their don’t find an excuse to pull her out of it.

A Repub with any sense at all knows that they are not doing themselves any favors by seriously backing Palin, who is a dolt and an embarrassment of epic proportions.

Unimpressive, Unconfident, and Unanimously agreed UNQUALIFIED.

I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this
straight…..
* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you’re ‘exotic, different.’
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, yours is a quintessential American story.
* If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow ,Trig and Track, you’re a maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re well grounded.
If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150 ,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s second highest ranking executive and next in line behind a man in his eighth decade.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you’re not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you’re a true Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state’s school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you’re very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family’s values don’t represent America ‘s.
* If you’re husband is nicknamed ‘First Dude’, with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now.

Nicely put Michael…
Depressing eh?

yes I got that e-mail too sent it to my republican relatives in Ohio
…guess I won’t be going home for Thanksgiving this year

I’d agree with the article but it was NEVER FUN to begin with, if you are queer.
Book Banning B*TCH, rubbed me wrong instantaneously, Abstinence ONLY rubbed me wrong instantaneously, and MOTHERF*CKIN charging raped women for their own rape evidence kits put the nail in Palin’s coffin.
ron
A hick-town politician already way out of her league as a governor. She will be an international embarrassment.
katie schwartz
I am so glad you posted this. I’ve read rumblings about this online, that conservatives are calling for her resignation as VP candidate.
She is so ill equipped and so painfully stupid. Oy vey, the shame of it.
Thursday night’s VP debates sure will be interesting. Biden will mop the floor with Palinoscopy!
marco channing
Palin should just go back to Alaska so she can pray for women to have to pay for rape kits while watching Putin’s plane fly over her house.

Man oh Man it is almost funny until you realize some people will still vote for the old man and the MILF.

Guess they couldn’t fit onto the arc after all?
Too bad nothing violates the airspace between her ears; like knowledge or common sense.
