Palin scourer gets the boot

That Parker woman sounds kind of smarmish. But how come, after reading this line,

It is hardly a secret that the best (and perhaps only) way for an unknown or career-challenged conservative to achieve mainstream media acceptance is to be a sellout to their supposed cause (just ask Arianna Huffington, Peggy Noonan, David Brooks, David Frum, Michael Smerconish, or Joe Scarborough, to name only a few)

you didn't pull the standard "where is Tec's fruity think tank label"?

That would be labelous

In that rogues gallery, at least Peggy has talent (and some basic honesty). Arianna is probbaly the lowest of the low in that club, though Frum is a close second.

Brooks said over the weekend that more people have ferrets than watch Glenn Beck.

Not that I like Beck much more than I like Rush (i.e. 0), but a nice rejoinder might have been to point out that more people blow their ferrets than pay any attention to Brooks.

Rush is smarter than Beck, who's kind of ADD at times. But I stopped reading Brooks a long time ago -- he's just a court jester in pinko Versailles. What a difference from Bill Safire, who managed to hold his own as the token conservative at the NYT for several decades, without compromising his integrity. Safire was also the much better writer, which always helps.
