https://wapo.st/4aeRMw5. gift articleTitle-"For the countrys sake, Vice President Harris should step aside
snip-"The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the Democratic ticket, Biden cant fire her. He cant risk alienating his base. Full stop. The seriousness of this situation cant be overstated. Bidens diminishing faculties, notwithstanding his relatively successful State of the Union address, and his increasing physical frailty are concerning."

(15,290 posts)Parker considers herself politically to be "mostly right of center",[1] has been described as a "conservative-leaning columnist",[2] and was the highest-scoring conservative pundit in a 2012 retrospective study of pundit prediction accuracy in 2008.[3]

(102,289 posts)her ability to meet the needs of so many media outlets rather than WAPO-- as before-- since going syndicated. She did not correct him when he said he was glad her column would still appear in WAPO.
So? I'm not clear, but I do know that she's really disgusting in this piece...

(92,217 posts)It was just a couple of weeks ago that ezra klein said President Biden should resign in the NY Times.
WTF is going on with these newspapers pushing brainless fools like this in their opinion columns.
are klein and parker dating?

(2,047 posts)They have Left & Right opinion columnists. It's what good papers do. It's the one page where Opinions (not news or features) appear. There are many right-wing Opinion columnists that I can't even read. She's one of them. But I don't want the WaPo to give up this time-honored practice of an Op-Ed Page.

(2,047 posts)Maybe papers should go back to including a disclaimer on Opinion columns. I think a lot of people forgot.

(15,290 posts)No Kathleen, every honest person watched Joe Biden deliver a State Of The Union address that eviscerated the Republican party and outplayed every crude Republican heckler in the room.
Then every honest person watched as Democratic House members caught Robert Hur in lie after lie as the truth that Joe Biden has a photographic memory and that he named the day, month and year of Bo Biden's death came out and that every slur in Hur's summery of the report was refuted in the transcript of six hours of interviews Joe sat for in the days immediately following the HAMAS incursion into Southern Israel.
Shades of Billy 'Fats' Barr's lying summery of the Mueller Report.
So Kathleen, every dishonest Republican says that Joe is over the hill and unfit for purpose and every dishonest Republican apologist agrees with that party's assessment while claiming the demented, criminally indicted, personality disordered, irredeemably stupid, grotesquely incompetent rapist Drumpf is ready for the highest office in the land.
The few remaining honest Republicans are fleeing the party with the MAGGAT mob at their heels screaming death threats while the dishonest ones dismantle the party machinery and bankrupt the party treasury to feed Drumpf's $60 million a year legal bills.
As to Kamala Harris, her role is to eviscerate the Dobbs decision and fuel the bonfire the hard right Catholic Federalist Society hand picked Court built that is consuming White 'christian' Nationalism on the way to another spectacular election loss as women across America repudiate the Republican party.
The word 'honest' is a curse in the mouth of Kathleen Parker, a woman for whom honesty died stillborn and unlamented as an apologist for the most unapologetically dishonest people in America as they bow down to the biggest political liar in the history of the nation in the quest to anoint him king and themselves princelings for hire to the highest bidder.

?
Or could it be because she was elected attorney for the city of San Francisco, then elected and re-elected attorney general of the largest state, before being elected to the U.S. senate?
I wonder if Parker wrote anything similar when McCain picked Miss Five-Colleges to be his running mate, if not for her tits n ass?
(I dont know who these Democrats are who think she is a burden to the Party, but I not one of them.)

(2,278 posts)The swing has been steady at WaPo since Bezos bought the Washington post group including Kaplan test prep and Kaplan college.
When the for profit college became a liability rather than a cash vow, he sold it off to Purdue.
Now he uses WaPo to push talking points favorable to him and his billionaire buddies.
