Note to Kathleen: Your role, which you have played so well in print over the last few years, is to say, "I'm a conservative--did I mention that I am a conservative? well I am!--but I have a few problems with what conservatives and Republicans are doing. Actually, more than a few problems. Indeed, I basically think that conservatives are stupid, you know, like Sarah Palin. But I say that as a conservative!"
That was your role, Kathleen, and the MSM loved you for it, because you made their arguments for them, while pretending to be a foe. Whereupon the MSM could say, "Even conservative Kathleen Parker says that conservatives are dummies, or meanies..."
But now you've eliminated the chance that even one conservative in America will think that you're the real thing, and not just a fraud.
And that's bad for CNN ratings. I give you six months on your new show.
