Conservative columnist calls for Sarah Palin to withdraw from the ticket.

This is from an article written by conservative columnist Kathleen Parker, once a Sarah Palin supporter:

It was fun while it lasted.

Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.

No one hates saying that more than I do. Like so many women, I’ve been pulling for Palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly. I’ve also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does. My cringe reflex is exhausted.

Palin filibusters. She repeats words, filling space with deadwood. Cut the verbiage and there’s not much content there. Here’s but one example of many from her interview with Hannity: “Well, there is a danger in allowing some obsessive partisanship to get into the issue that we’re talking about today. And that’s something that John McCain, too, his track record, proving that he can work both sides of the aisle, he can surpass the partisanship that must be surpassed to deal with an issue like this.”

When Couric pointed to polls showing that the financial crisis had boosted Obama’s numbers, Palin blustered wordily: “I’m not looking at poll numbers. What I think Americans at the end of the day are going to be able to go back and look at track records and see who’s more apt to be talking about solutions and wishing for and hoping for solutions for some opportunity to change, and who’s actually done it?”

If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself.

I have been waiting for the MSM to catch up with those of us in Alaska who have been trying to tell anybody who will listen that this woman is a nightmare and should never be anywhere near the White House. We have blogged, we have rallied, we have called into radio stations, and we have written numerous letters to our local papers.

So I was very happy when I saw Keith Olbermann talking about Palin on Countdown. Thrilled when Rachel Maddow made it a constant theme on her new show. And tickled beyond measure when I saw CNN's Anderson Cooper discussing her at great length.

But when the conservatives start talking about what an incredible mistake McCain has made, well that just about makes my whole week. Stick a fork in Sarah Palin because now she is done.
