Well, Parker didn’t manage to do that, either. As I recall, she got divorced when her son was very young and was (gasp!) a Single Mother. No wonder she foams at the mouth over Hillary.

What, Kathleen had actual, non-imaginary friends?

I thought Teh Pundit Clarss was composed entirely of people who had to “buy” favorable attention from other humans, through either shameless toadying or vicious me-too attacks on enemies of whatever Ruling Class members they managed to get within sucking range.

That was always part of their general resentment of Bill Clinton — he was remembered fondly even by people who didn’t agree with him, and women he hadn’t always treated well. Parker and her fellow lampreys are all too well aware that they’re only remembered when somebody needs a favor, or a new victim.

That was the first thing I thought. The second was “It’s surprising that they miss shots?”

Oh, you meant…

Never mind…

Here in SW Missouri, when someone says ‘bless her heart,’ what they really mean to say is ‘bless her heart, the feckless, godless, drunken slut who is going straight to hell.’

Usually. Sometimes they say it to be insulting.

My mom also uses it in lieu of swearing when a UK basketball player misses an important shot.

[ ... ] every night it was The Five Different Horrific (but Statisitically Unlikely) Ways You or Your Children Could Die or Become Horribly Disfigured.

Oh, man! That’s my absolute favorite show, evarrrrrr!!1!
The only better show is on Discovery: “The Ten Different Horrific (but Statistically Unlikely) Ways You or Your Children Could Be Killed or Become Horribly Disfigured… by SHARKS!!1!” That show is teh awesome!

Brilliant description. Now if only the entire country weren’t consuming a steady diet of the droppings . . .

MCH, the story doesn’t mean non-religious doctors are more charitable than religious doctors.

I know that, and it was not what I was trying to insinuate (as unsuccessful as I might have been in so not-doing). I was pointing it out as yet another bit of evidence against the “morals can only come from religion” argument, which is akin to the “of course religious people are more good than godless atheists” line of thinking.

Because the religious and irreligious are equally capable of being both good and evil. “God-fearing” is no shorthand for “good person” and more than “athiest” means “evil”. But you know that already, and I’m rambling, and we’re not even really disagreeing, I don’t think, so I’ll just drink my tea and shuddup now.

It ain’t pretty.

Example: “That Jonah Goldberg is a well-dressed young man, but bless his heart, he’s as dumb as a sack of rocks. I do understand that Mrs. Goldberg was smoking a great deal of that LSD back when she was a teenager, if you know what I mean…”

David Brock told us about this weird obsession they have with her. Remarking on Laura Ingraham’s failed trashing of First Lady Clinton, he comments, “[a] more transparent case of projection I have rarely seen.”

I like this pic of Kathleen the best. She reminds of Murphy Brown. Oh, maybe she thought she was at a very special Blogger Ethics Panel and needed to look very smart. Maybe she woke up late and didn’t have time to grab her Glamour Shots kit as she ran out the door. Maybe she’s just gone wild… like an outside the Beltway tiger… Rrrrr, Kathleen…. rrrrrrrrrr….

But she looks a lot like Murphy Brown. mmmmm Muuuurphy Browwwwn….

What…???

Between Kathleen Parker and Peggy Noonan, having an imaginary friendship with Hil is becoming a competitive sport for the right.

Don’t forget Rupert, himself.
