(First time I've tried posting a link here-hope that 1)it's allowed; and 2)I did it right!).
I read and listen to a lot of conservatives and I have never heard of Kathleen Parker. *shrugs*

The tone of the article does nothing more than convey an attempt to be "cool" by being against whatever is popular. Parker's examples of "empty verbiage" committed by Palin are weak. It is obvious who Palin is, and it is obvious when Palin is boosting the top spot on her ticket. Parker has some sort of axe to grind, and it would be interesting to know what that axe is.
Parker must have eaten some bad tacos or something, because suggesting that the "best thing" for McCain would be a Palin resignation is one of the most ridiculous things I have heard yet this election season. Palin is probably the reason McCain is going to be victorious in November; she does nothing but increase support for the McCain ticket. Again, it is obvious when Palin is being Palin and when Palin is "sticking to the McCain script". Most of us intelligent conservatives can figure that out and accept it while wishing that McCain would just let her loose. Kathleen Parker still needs to buy that vowel, I guess, because she is taking some very minor gripes and turning them into career ending faults.

Yea , not a very substantiated article, fluffy and highly subjective imo.
I found this other story on the same site , the revised Aesop Fable of the "Ant and The Grasshopper" a much more intersting and substantial read. lol

CONSPIRACY TO DUMP CARIBOU BARBIE
I wouldn't be surprised if Karl Rove's no-goodnicks didn't float this as a trial balloon to see what public reaction might be. Now that he's gotten a lot of evangelicals excited again about the GOP, look for Palin to have a change of heart BEFORE THE DEBATE (how convenient!) and step down from the ticket for some kind of undisclosed personal reason, to be replaced by someone who knows something about the economy (Romney?) to balance out McCain, who is clueless about economics.

You do realize that McCain and Obama seem to be in agreement as far as fixing this mess we're in right now. So how is Obama on economics? Also, Romney would not be a good replacement for Palin, but most likely she is not going anywhere, but if she were, the only GOP'er that would be a qualified replacement is Dr. Paul.

The Democratic VP nominee from two election cycles ago is wholeheartedly supporting John McCain and liberals get excited about a never before heard of columnist.

That is solid! I was actually thinking that McCain was going to pick Lieberman as his VP. I will also bet that Hilary is a closet McCain supporter. She does want to run in 2012.....

What is in the water where you live?
Well, considering that the EPA has been staffed by Loyal Bushies for the past 8 years, I am afraid to know what's in my H2O.
While Karl Rove likely selected Palin for purely political purposes, I think he's even scared of what might pop out of Palin's lips during a 90-minute debate. If they can't persuade her to walk the plank, they will try to concoct some excuse to get her out of that debate. Maybe some emergency in Alaska.
But I hope she is still around to do the debate. Sarah Palin unscripted! Those Moose-in-the-Headlights moments from Palin should be hilarious, as long as I don't think too long about the fact that there are enough low-information voters out there who could give Gramps and Annie Oakley the election. My head hurts just thinking about those two becoming the next pair of puppets for Cheney and Rove.

Seems like Bush is getting blamed for more things than global warming. And you call Cheney and Rove puppets.

Karl Rove picked Palin? Was this before or after he plotted the 9/11 attacks?

Before, of course. Back when he was still a baby, as a matter of fact. Those Illuminati and Bilderbergers are thorough.
But I kid the liberals. They know, as do we, it's not about the president, not this time. It's about the three or four Supreme Court justices that president will most likely be nominating between 2009-2012. This is the very last gasp of 60s liberalism, they last chance the gray-ponytail crew has of turning their socialist paradise dreams into reality.
But their antics carry more than a whiff of desperation. The next few weeks should prove ... interesting.

Katheleen Parker is simply telling the truth: Sarah Palin is in over her head.
Mrs. Palin probably is a good govenor and has great morals but she is not ready to step in should McCain die. I blame McCain for this. For all those months after he locked up the nomination, he could have had his people working with her.
At the very least when questioned about her foreign policy experience she should have been coached to say, "I have the same experience as Bill Clinton did when he was elected to the White House."
When asked about knowing foreign leaders she should have said, "No I don't know any foreign leaders and I have not been to Europe. I've been busy serving the people of Wasallia and then serving the state of Alaska. And I will help John McCain deliver for the people of the United States whe he gets elected."
I find it surprising that Palin has only been outside of the country once since she lives next door to CANADA. Canada is a sovereign state and counts as leaving the US.
I can understand that some are amazed that she only got her passport last year. Doesn't she see those ads in the travel section of the newspaper? If you search there are some really good travel deals online.
There was a sliver of a chance that I might have voted for McCain until he chose Palin. I am concerned that she would be a figurehead leader, beholden to the people who pull her strings because she simply does not have the background needed to be the President of the United States should McCain die.

That is so the truth tracy!!! And Karl Rove was the one who was behind Waco and Columbine!
Karl Rove also had his hands in the avian bird flu epidemic. Karl Rove would kill your little kids if it helped him get people elected. But, he also was behind McDonalds bringing back the McRib, so not everything he has done has been bad.
Just thought I would get into the creative writing swing of things too.

So your concern is not that she isn't experienced enough, but that she didn't spin it right? I prefer less spin myself.
Also, passports rules have changed greatly in the past few years. You were not required to have one to visit many countries. I know for a fact you did not need one until recently for Mexico, Jamaca, or the Bahamas. I wouldn't be suprised if you did not need one for Canada either.

Actually I do not think she is experienced enough. However with better preparation, she would not have looked so ditzy on national television. Obama barely has more experience than Palin but he does not sound incoherent.
You are right about not needing a passport in the past to visit all the countries you listed. Canada was also on that list.
I like foreign travel partially because it makes me question my cultural assumptions and broadens my worldview. A friend and I went to Toronto for four days and we were surprised at the cultural differences between our countries.
Maybe Palin can't spend weeks in Europe but it would have been a plus if she could have said that she visited our closest neighbors and took her children to see museam while she was there.

Can we get real here, I mean what experience can you possibly illustrate from Obama's past that qualifies him to be president? There is nothing there!! To deal with Economic crisis, to be in charge of the world's most powerful military, to be in charge of anything when he has only been a mediocre supporter of things in the past??
Obama is coherent because he is a smooth operator, sing it Sade!!!! 
coast to coast, la to chicago, western male.
across the north and south, to key largo, love for sale. make that votes for sale with american tax dollars dished out as tax credits to those who don't even pay taxes!!
He has been a prof with tons of experience at having the unchallenged atmosphere of the college class room to hone the presentation of his ridiculous ideas without skipping a beat. He hasn't had a real job so the one skill he has worked at all his life is to sound convincing at no matter what he says.
I guess you can always fall back on the his usual circular logic example of "his campain" as his experience. 
If Obama was a republican and a VP pick , he would be politically and satirically lambasted.
