The Bell Tolls for Sarah Palin and Conservative Columnists Ring It

Friday, September 26th, 2008

One cinderella story may be in its final chapter. After Sarah Palin’s underwhelming interview with Katie Couric of CBS, which aired Wednesday and Thursday night, conservative commentators began distancing themselves from their vice presidential candidate.

Nationally syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker called for Palin to step down Friday, saying she didn’t have the necessary experience.

“As we’ve seen and heard more from John McCain’s running mate, it is increasingly clear that Palin is a problem. Quick study or not, she doesn’t know enough about economics and foreign policy to make Americans comfortable with a President Palin should conditions warrant her promotion.”

Parker is a lot less enthusiastic about Palin now than she was after her speech at the RNC. She wrote then:

“Palin brings more to the ticket than the possibility of a few female voters. She has animated voters who had little enthusiasm for the race. She has given them the very thing Democrats have been enjoying the past several months: hope and change.”

Amuse Bouche: McCain Gets His Make Up Done

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

David Letterman tears into John McCain for skipping his show and going to Katie Couric. McCain had told Letterman personally that he was headed “straight to Washington” to deal with the fiscal crisis, and instead Letterman got wind of a live taping at a studio next door. Whoops!

I think this is called payback. Via Cajun Boy. And Gawker.
