Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker has really done it this time. Last week, she wrote about how hard-right evangelicals have brought down the Republican Party. Her column has sparked the ire of Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, who wrote his own column smiting Parker and responding exactly the way she described in her column — by getting defensive at the very suggestion that the rigid right has had a hand in eroding the power of the GOP. Dobson even went so far as to claim the conservative columnist is no longer a conservative. Take that, Kathleen Parker!

Kathleen Parker, a conservative syndicated columnist, dropped a bomb on the movement Friday morning in a National Review article headlined "Palin Problem: She's out of her league." "It was fun while it lasted," Parker writes, before reluctantly calling on Sarah Palin to step down from the Republican ticket for the good of the country.
