Columnist Kathleen Parker, on National Review’s blog: “Both HRC and Obama say they’re ready on Day One to be commander-in-chief. That’s such an interesting thought. I try to picture HRC saluting the troops. I try to picture Obama doing same. And then I try to picture the troops saluting back. Will they have their fingers crossed behind their backs? I don’t have this problem with McCain. Just sayin’.”

Which is saying America’s military — the guys people like Parker pretend to respect for their heroic devotion to duty — wouldn’t do their duty and accept the elected leader of our country as commander in chief if the country elected the “wrong” person.

Wrong presumably meaning either black, female or a Democrat? Obviously it has nothing to do with military records since Parker has never suggested the troops would have a problem with George W. Bush, a draft-dodger (by his own admission) who blew off his National Guard service (during 2003’s “Mission Accomplished” speech, Parker gushed about how Bush was an authentic manly jet pilot at a time he’d been grounded from flying for 30 years).

Just sayin’.
