Dear Kathleen Parker, get a room

This might possibly be the most obsequious, embarrassing paean to Barack Obama by a Washington Post writer since, well, the last one. The president kept his shirt on for the plane ride, so we don’t get any commentary from WaPo syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker about The One’s sun-kissed, chiseled pectorals.
But we do learn that the Obamas are warm.
So, so “warm.”
And “thin.”
And “natural.”
And so “lean and fit.”
Oh, and did she mention how “warm” they are?
The President is “calm.” He speaks slooooooowly. Out of such wonderful consideration for the stenographer-journalists hanging on his every calmly, slowly enunciated word.
I hear they replaced the airsickness bags with drool buckets.
Kathleen Parker took hers home for a souvenir.

Was it them or the thermostat?
Smoking is the new healthy. So’s a nicotine patch! Woo hoo! He has such self-control.
chap: that’s funny.
Jennifer Loven can’t be happy.
He speaks so slowly, not for the media, but he can’t think of what he is supposed to be saying. He is afraid he will pull a Joe Biden.
I think Kathleen Parker IS a drool bucket.
God, I just read the whole thing. I mean, admiration is one thing, but home girl has gone over the cliff. Gag me.
So that’s where he got his mellifluously creamy baritone. So very sexxxy. So Brokaw. Too bad it’s powered by arcane 19th century marxist thought.
Am I the only one, or do any of you find Obama’s fast-then-slow speech pattern too distracting to attend to what is being said?
It’s like he’s using his manner of speech to model that old rhyme “Once you shake the catchup bottle, first none will come but then a lot’ll.”
How in the heck can this woman earn a living with this tripe?
He speaks so slowly because LIARS have to take the time to think up the next lie and or keep the one they are saying on track.
Kathleen Parker is a FOOL among FOOLS!
Can’t wait until all the White women reporterettes get accused of having a “mandingo fantasy” re: Barry Obama.
Must be the teleprompter is malfunctioning again.
Kathleen was once one of my favorite columnists, until she went anti-Palin during the campaign. Now my ardor has definitely cooled.
Sweetie, I just read your story and that’s exactly what you did do. Now stand up and wipe off your chin. Act like an adult. Here, would you like a cigarette?
It’s a classic pattern of deceit. It’s pathological.
He has so many blatant lies and promises out there that he has definite trouble remembering what he’s already ‘embellished’.
Sorry, but this is a silly post. The woman has obviously lost it. She needs psychiatric help. Publicizing her rants is useless.
You know she’s successfully completed her transformation to a liberal now, as it’s bloody obvious she has no capacity for embarrassment at this point.
Gag me with a school bus.
How would a Democrat recognize Hitler — They would vote for him.
ObamaGasm to Paper
One of the commenters regarding that article said this: “I loved your quote about the “little buddha inside Omama”, it’s really weird but when I see him I feel calmer and more hopeful and more reassured. I am also inspired to get up everyday and be more positive and energized to get my work done…when I am feeling a bit down and not motivated, I think about what he has accomplished and I am reenergized. Its really amazing…he’s got something magical working. In all of my 56 yrs, I have NEVER felt this inspired by anyone..when he visited Chicago this weekend and there was not a lot of press about him, I missed seeing him. He is the presence we need in these turbulent times. Sometimes I think maybe its a lot of pressure and burden to put on this young man, but somehow I know he can handle it!!!” You may now continue your puking.
I Ms.Paker suspect one would fine a little Saul Alinsky holding a signed copy of Rules for Radicals.
‘A little Buddha inside?’
Holy crap.
I think this woman has secured her next Air Force I flight.
A la the octuplet mom, Kathleen will probably start getting plastic surgery to look like Michelle. They’ll have to find a bulldog’s jaw for the initial transplant, but it can be done.
good one chap. they ought to be warm.
That was as far as I could get before I started wretching. When I recovered it occured to me I would expect to see a hamster running on a wheel.
Riffing off the other thread, I wonder if this will earn Ms. Parker a visit from Secret Services.
When she talks about cutting Obama open, shouldn’t a cop stop her, maybe get the Secret Service over to her house? Isn’t that a little more serious than a bumper sticker?
I tried, but just couldn’t do it… I couldn’t read the whole thing. Not only was it nauseating, but I lost interest. Does she actually get paid to write that crap?
OH GOD, I’m thinking like a lawyer.
A liberal one at that.
Your “Liberal Introductory Kit” is in the mail.
Welcome, brother.
I felt like I was reading a young girl’s diary after she had just discovered boys.
I think that conservatives are vulnerable to liberals who tolerate them, especially when they live in DC. For example, as much as I like and admire Laura Ingraham she’ll often speak positively about a lib media person or a lib reporter with the qualifier that “He’s always been nice to me.” Rush does the same thing with the Politico boys ignoring their obvious bias and stating that “They always treat me fairly.” Rush and Laura are two of my favorites and I continue to respect and admire them but to an infinitely lesser degree than Ms.Parker, they seem to suffer from the same disease.
You just can’t care what the lib media says or writes about you or how you perceive it treats you. It’s irrelevant.
They are the enemy. Period.
It stings a little, but I’m sure I won’t miss my soul once the kit’s extractor does its job.
Hopefully someone gave Parker depends.
This woman’s intellect is so deep you could wade in it and your toenails would remain dry.
I didn’t know they went to Indonesia.
At one point, Ms. Parker was reliably conservative. When (and why) did she take the Huffington KoolAid?
Careful Kathleen! This seems very similar to how Monica got her start.
Obama writes slowly too, because he knows some journalists are slow readers.
My summation to this quote is Ms. Parker’s two 13-year-old seatmates were not mesmerized to by the tale of AF1, but by the drool coming down her chin (her droll bucket was left on AF1). Then thinking to themselves she must be Mentally Challenged, the poor dear.
Parker’s column reads exactly like my 12-year-old daughter’s “Clique” novels. I’d better get rid of those or she might grow up sounding like that, eeeww…
Leave the smoking part out of it—
you said nothing when they came for the smokers…now that you’re halfway down that slippery slope, you wonder where your liberties went??
Get the feeling Kathleen kept messing up the upholstery wherever she sat down?
***
The old EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES fable was really ahead of it’s time. Comrade Obama (PBUH) has no clothes! And Kathleen Parker sees the finest threads, stitches, nuances, and pronouncements coming from the President.

Something seems to go wrong big-time when someone goes into journalism or puts on a collar backwards and becomes a priest or minister.

I can not believe how many otherwise rational people I know who think the Messiah is the savior who will make everything better for them. His policies and actions will cost all of us big-time soon. I am waiting for them to fill out their 2010 income tax forms–if they are still employed. Reality will hit home soon.

When the came for the bumper stickers, I said nothing….
When they came for the AM radio, I said nothing….
When they came for my money, I said nothing….
When they come for my guns….I will say nothing.
No warning for them.
This last statement says it all, Kathleen Parker is dazzled by an image, as were a large section of voters. An image that has been carefully crafted by Axelrod et al. This is a sad statement on our society, though I’m disgusted with Parker, she should know better.
Is the media biased?

That was pretty gross . . . but funny.
No, not for the media. It is so that the libtards can understand and keep up, much as one would talk with a person suffering from any other cognitive disability or brain damage.
TXGator…..Step away from the paakage!!
TXGator…..Step away from the package!!
I thought he was doing it because he was hoping someone would come to his rescue with a teleprompter.
How does a liberal deal with a fascist dictator? They re-elect him!
I’ll get some crap sniffing dogs to check it first!
I kid lawyers…thank God they’re around. Who else would’ve allowed an illegal alien to sue me for breaking up a fight at the school where I taught?
How about a moratorium on Parker stories? I had no idea who she was until a couple of months ago and I am anxious to forget her. She does not warrant our attention.
Talk to Chris Matthews about how to rekindle the leg tingle…
I’m not mentioning the smoking as a liberty issue, but rather a lack of self-control and a health issue–since Fawning Parker was the one who noted how “lean and fit” he is.
Off-topic:
I respect the rights of anyone to smoke where they may. If they choose to smoke where it affects me, I expect them to respect my right to expectorate where I may–and I may right in their face.
Sounds like Kathleen is a little mandingopausal. Must be hot flash season.
Reminds me of this:
The MSM is not reporting the increasing violence on the Mexican border. There are masses of protesters down there, protesting against the military. There are increasing voices being lifted in protest of Obama’s policies. This is happening even in our schools. Not all of our kids have been brainwashed. Now, if the media would just do their job and actually report this incredible news, this could get interesting. Oh, never mind.
By the way, speaking of smoking, has anyone hugged or kissed a smoker lately? P.U. Not sexy at all. My apologies to any of the smokers here, but that is just a fact. I would be very turned off just getting a whiff of Obama’s breath.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves! There are MUCH more important things to consider right now.
Don’t you know that the Obamas are a story of perfection? They’re highly educated (and not because of affirmative action or anything), thin, fit and beautiful people — with Michelle O resembling the class and style of Jackie O.
/sarcasm
Kathleen Parker = Groupie
I wonder if she threw her thong at the One?
You mean, Jackie O. on steroids, don’t you?
Maybe, not sure. I read somewhere in the UK papers about someone saying that MO reminded them of Flip Wilson in drag.
Is that what you’re referring to?

Got me chuckling over here. Nice work.
Weird how she seems much more masculine than he does.
*Claire McCaskill, please report to the chair. Claire McCaskill, please report to the chair*
After reading that, I have the strange feeling that the floor is sticky. Ewwww!
Hope is not a plan; not all change is good. The resistance is here; the resistance is now. RESIST!!!
ECS
I may have crossed the line, but Kathleen did it first.
Isn’t that the Dem excuse for everything? I can haz it now?
Perhaps that’s it…and she is “going to fiiiind Ray Charles, honey!” Remember?
Douche chills. Ewwww.
Flip Wilson in drag…that is quite possibly the most astute (and funny) observation I’ve heard all week.
Couple that with the Black Widow dress from inauguration night and we’ve got the makings of a super hero.
Hear, hear. Satan is an angel of light, as well. We must never forget who the enemy is.
This is a deliberate technique-he also puts a hard emphasis on ending words or certain phrases for the “voice of authority”
effect!
This allows him to sound like he knows what he is talking about!
‘I have stated often ,…that the notion of tax cuts… are failed policy.’
Form without substance…
Quick, someone contact Sears for a Diehard battery. Kathleen’s personal massage device cannot withstand the strain on the normal current demand. Wanna bet the ceiling has a large picture of The One plastered on it?
I think Ms. Parker has reverted to her preadolescent days and is waiting for her copy of “Tiger Beat” with Barry on the cover.
I’m sorry, I couldn’t bring myself to read it. But, I have to know… Did she refer to him as “Dreamy!”
OT:
Steve Martin: “Mind if I smoke?” “Not at all, mind if I fart?”
She was constantly making her “O-face”.
I need a barf bag, not a drool bucket.
Hey, if a smoker blew smoke right in your face, I’d say you were ok to ‘expectorate’ in their face too.
But otherwise, I thought what I did on my own time was okay?
I make an “O-face” too when I hear Dear Leader speak. It usually goes like this: He says something, and I roll my eyes and groan “Oh, (expletive deleted)!”
Out of Syrup of Ipecac? Parker’s lubricated essay didn’t do the trick? Not to worry!
Get a load of this comment below from a Daily Beast reader:

What happened?? I thought we had successfully gotten you away from the Dark Side?
I tried reading the article, I really did. Unfortunately, after about 40% all it did was make my hunger go away and replace it with a real queasy feeling.
(And I’m sorry to see Flip Wilson’s “Geraldine” mixed up with such a fooling columnist, but it was good to think of some of his stuff. Thanks.)
Kathleen Parker’s writing has gone the way of her youth: downhill.
Her writing is incoherent at times… wandering, dangling participles are interjected with Frenchie terms to impress us maroons. She oozes the simple-minded thought processes of a junior high wallflower with a crush on the high school quarterback. Airsick bag, indeed.
Kathleen is like a puppy wanting to be petted–desperate for attention and wagging her tail rapidly.Hint: in middle age, KP, it is not very appealing. You need to consult your MD for something for those hot flashes of yours. Libs, please provide her some praise as she has left the conservatives for good.
We get it, Kathleen, you like the Obamas. You are way cool. Someone please tase her.
Conservatism is the cheap hooker I mess around with behind Liberalism’s back. Its fun for an occasional thrill, and I keep stringing it along saying “shhhh…It’s okay…one day I’ll leave Liberalism and take you away from all this…It’s just not the right time…” But, deep down inside we both know I would never leave. So, after washing Conservatism’s cheap perfume off me, I return home to have a home cooked meal with Liberalism, who is none the wiser. Meanwhile, Conservatism is back at the hotel room I rented, because let’s face it, where else does she have to go, crying her eyes out telling her THIS time was the last, but knowing its not.
Re: Chapoutier’s #85
Laughing…and laughing.
Guess we’ll have to come up with better wine and work on our cooking.
I never liked Parker, not one little bit, but this is beyond weird. If I were her husband I would be getting to a lawyer fast and packing my bags. Any day now she’s going to announce to the media he forced her to wear high-heels so she had to get out the shotgun . . .
For someone who won an H.L. Mencken award in journalism (and who says affirmative action doesn’t work?), well, it is time to give it back. Before her writing was just dumb and infuriating — in equal parts. Now it is hide-your-eyes awful. This reminds me of the time she said Andrea Yates was having a “bad marriage day.” Oh the clever word play! Or the time she sucked up to Janet Reno. Or groveled before her black readers because she mistakenly wrote that the Duke Three were “lynched.” You see, that word is owned completely by the black community because no white person has ever been lynched.
And so it goes. She no longer appears at National Review but I am unsure about the reasons. In any event, it is time for her to deal with her personal issues in private. Bye Kathleen. It hasn’t been fun.
duh1 speaks slooooooooowly because he’s stuuuuuuuuupid. sheesh….
Chap, you forgot the part about it being a “dark and stormy night”!
I can see the commercial now…in time for the major holidays, you can buy the obama blow up toy of your choice and send it to a journalist in need. It comes with a care package including an issue of NYTimes, Starbucks coffee, a do-it-yourself home abortion kit and a personalized race card! Dryer safe, it produces its’ own hot air for inflation and is equipped with a language center, randomly saying things like “hope and change.” (Sarcasm aside, I give it two months before there is something like that on the market, and two weeks after that ms. parker will start a collection!)
Parker is a PATHETIC PARTISAN PUPPET.
Jeffrey Schrembs, American Citizen
The jaws of life will be needed to extract these folks from 0bama’s rear end.
The Obamanites must have made Kathleen an offer she cannot resist. Take that anyway you want.
Forgot something: Y’all go back and read Cnsrvativ1st #32 post. Ding, ding! I think that is the best post on this thread!
I swear, Chapoutier, your analogy of the cheap hooker was one of the funniest things you have ever written. LMAO.
Hitcharide #90 – You, too!
You guys are killing me with the witty remarks.
Maybe reading Kathleen Parker’s screed on the public library computer is cheaper than trashy romance novels for the hausenfrau set?
