I took it as a bad sign that she didn’t give a press conference the day she was announced. Or the next day. Or the next. Or the next. Or the next.

Or ever.

It didn’t help matters that she kept giving the same canned speech over and over again, days after several central claims (“I said thanks but no thanks!”) had been thoroughly debunked.

I hated her even before the Charlie Rose interview. I felt so bad for poor Kathleen Parker, taking such crap from so many directions just because she had the nerve to say out loud and in print what every Republican woman was thinking.
