KP is the assignment that no one in the army wants.
Or the initials of Kathleen Parker. After a brief flirtation with truth, justice and the American way, Parker is returning to her roots, a conservative columnist.
A job that is becoming increasingly harder to do.
If one is a megalomaniac who is more concerned about eating than the truth, hint Rush Limbaugh, such loyalties might not be so hard.
Ditto for folks more interested in sex abroad and with co-workers, hint Bill O'Reilly, than getting the facts straight, also might be able to shovel the crap effortlessly.
Parker is clearly grasping at nothing.
She feels that Obama is an amateur. He appears young and unformed, she whines and opines.
She is upset that he apologized. For what- improper vetting by his staff or perhaps wanting Washington insiders? After 8 years of no one admitting anything, his words were a balm on the collective citizenry.
President Obama is helping to reeducate voters to understand that complex issues warrant detailed analysis, thought and debate. Kudos to him for enlarging the ubiquitous sound bite to fully explain salient problems and solutions.
Parker misses the brevity of Bush, who did not have the synapses to repeat a question posed to him, let alone respond.
This columnist does not understand that folks who reside in houses made of silicon and sand should not throw stones. No one can mention Presidents reading to school students without the image of George W., paralyzed for 7 minutes, clutching onto My Pet Goat, as our nation was under attack. Parker alludes to this in a smarmy way, an afterthought.
The fact is that the previous occupant of the White House had not diligently read intelligence briefings and failed to listen to his predecessor's staff in regard to Bin Laden and other dangers. The height of immaturity is refusing to do the work required of a job, being unable to execute even minimum duties of same and the inability to articulate the simplest sentences.
Get over it Parker. We have an intelligent and caring Chief Executive. He will not do a jig and leave before answering questions. He will not joke about WMDs as our military is being killed. The new President, although a fitness buff, will not be biking while Rome burns. Or New Orleans drowns.
Obama will be accountable to the American people, all of them.
That is the height of maturity.
Indict Bush.
