Thinking Like Kathleen Parker

By Wlady Pleszczynski on 5.27.09 @ 10:49AM

Does Ms. Parker have an editor? In today's column she writes:

When Rahm Emanuel said, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste," he wasn't the first or the last to express the sentiment. George W. Bush was accused of taking advantage of Americans' post-Sept. 11 terror to expand executive power.

Could somebody tell her she can't think straight? The second sentence doesn't follow on the first, unless being accused of something is synonymous with expressing support for that something.

I think she is having a hard time fitting in with her new friends and new way of thinking. There's no editor. She's got a flow chart on the wall showing how all negative outcomes flow back to the George W. Bush box.

You're right about her clumsy writing in today's column, but it actually is a decent column.

She's awful. I sure wish people would stop linking her, even if its mainly to point out how bad she is.

September 11, 2001 was a REAL crisis--Bush didn't expand executive power for the hell of it. Only a dim bulb wouldn't understand that.

"She's got a flow chart on the wall showing how all negative outcomes flow back to the George W. Bush box."

LOL! Maybe that can be a new game. Instead of six degrees of Kevin Bacon it can be six degrees of GWB for all negative outcomes. It will be a staple of libtard parties for years to come.

What it appears Ms. Parker has, is a government education. Maybe her editor has one, too! So, using her logic, slightly modified, we should spend more money on education!

I don't believe Mzz. Porker -- that's my new pet name for the wench since last election season -- thinks at all! I ceased reading her spasms of expression completely after she trashed Sarah Palin on no legitimate grounds of criticism whatsoever. And I will never again click through any link to K. Porker.

But it's really like being transported back in time to high school, with all the ridiculous cliques and silly, superficial but vicious backbiting. K. Porker is the "sosh" wannabe, who just got included into the popular kids group, partly for trash-talking the beautiful "jock" girl who refused to be bullied by the "soshes." Maybe she just wants a date with "cool cutey" boy ballerino Rahmy, to attempt deflection from his alarming threat to "never waste" a "crisis" by rumoring that everybody says everybody says so.
