OK, I managed to ignore her picture the first four or five times I saw this post, but now that I’ve taken a more analytical look at her, I must observe that no woman with such a smarmily smug look on her face could possibly be happy. Is it wrong of me to glory in the knowledge of her psychic despair?

Some of you may remember my constant conundrum: Who is Teh Stupidest Woman In America, Kathleen Parker or Mona Charen? (and no, I cannot accept any more candidates, this is difficult enough as it is)

So, I read this post, decided for the umpteenth time, it’s Parker, click over to alicublog, and discover that Roy has decided to tap dance all over Charen’s latest blah.

Back to square one.

Is there any possibility that they are the same person?

â€œKathleen Parker is a popular syndicated columnist and director of the School of Written Expression at the Buckley School of Public Speaking and Persuasion in Camden, South Carolina.â€?

Yes, but is she affiliated with the Derek Zoolander Centre for Children Who Can’t Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too?

Yes, a white pickup truck passed for empirical evidence for our Ms. Parker, all the evidence she needed of His True Greatness.

Well I’m sure that passes muster… As long as the passenger side wasn’t occupied by Shawn Hornbeck.

I forgot all about that, Bubba. I’ll have to go over there and do some remodeling.

Not one Catherine the Great joke? I’m disappointed. But then i probably would’ve been disappointed had there been one.

If Ms. Parker were worthy of sympathy, which she is not, I would feel for her, sadly floundering in existential angst now that her studly Dear Leader has fallen so far from grace that even she can no longer manage an entire column waxing rhapsodic over his demigod-like qualities.

Oh, but once, just a few short years ago, in those heady days of unchallenged Bush Adulation, Ms. Parker could – and did – write an entire column devoted soley to explaing that she knew, she just KNEW, that George W. Bush was just the most wonderful, good, strong, macho, decent, heroic, All-American man, capable of fearlessly leading us while leaping over bombed buildings with a bullhorn in his manly hand, because – get ready, here it comes – because he drove a white pick-up truck.

Yes, a white pickup truck passed for empirical evidence for our Ms. Parker, all the evidence she needed of His True Greatness.

Just like in the old westerns, where you always knew the bad guy cause he wore a black hat and the good guy cause he wore a whote hat. Well, there were those pictures of Bush, out in the wilds of Crawford, with a white hat, and a white t shirt, and – goddam – a white pickup. Kathy got moist just thinking about it.

The way she described it, it was as if Jesus had returned and it turned out that he came back as the Marlboro Man, held out his hand to her and promised to forever keep her safe from the bad men.

Next to Bush, Kerry looked so, well, so French.

That was the last Parker article I ever read, and from the comments here, it doesn’t look like I’ve missed anything.

Ok, I really wanted to do a “Kathleen Parker and Barbaro walk into a bar” but I just got back from a big dinner and I’m all foggy so never mind…

MrWonderful truly is.

The poor guy canâ€™t even provide his base with more patriotic pride than a crippled horse now.

Um, that’s a crippled dead horse, Zhubin.

And Righteous Bubba, I clicked the link and all I can say is WTF? That’s been up since last August? Where the hell have I been? I’m bumfuzzled.

The only people who I can see being interested in this are folks from the Philly area (like me). He looked like the only local sports figure who was going to win and win big, and then, like all Philadelphia sports figures, he chokes. Somehow it seems less just that we kill the poor horse, but let the Flyers live.

I’ll bet the meat of an injured horse tastes great breaded in Bisquick, deep fried, and dipped in Hidden Valley.

Yes, I would definitely dip that horse in my Hidden Valley…

to be fair to kathleen, barbaro’s iraq withdrawal policy was significantly better than jane fonda’s, though some would argue that barbaro’s vietnam service was not up to john kerry’s level.

wait, what? barbaro is a dead horse?

I have a feeling Barbaro captured Kathleen Parker’s post-9/11 imagination because his name means “barbarian.”

People named Kathleen should not be that stupid. It’s wrong.
