16. One gets the distinct impression Ms. Parker is not impressed with Sarah Palin
San Francisco: Do you think that a lot of the interest in Palin is just curiosity? During the election campaign, everyone I spoke to, liberal or conservative, said they would go to hear her speak - but not a one thought she was a qualified candidate for national office. They just wanted to see her because she is such an anomaly.

Kathleen Parker: She's interesting. As Flannery O'Connor once said, "People will stand in line to shake hands with a monkey." Or something to that effect.

:rofl:
