yeah, nice try....she describes herself as "slightly" right of center (isn't Obama a centrist") which puts her in the Lincoln Chaffee, David Brooks, Arlen Specter camp...hardly "conservative" and I suppose "moderate"

columns like that in the Post probably keep/kept her tolerable around CNN and invited to appear on shows like Chris Matthews'.....

I'm shocked that she has a problem with the Tea Party 5/5/2010 http://mdjonline.com/view/full_story...vative-victims

"Leave it to CNN to create a new version of Crossfire with a "conservative" that will find a lot to agree on with her liberal foe.
After all, this is a woman who said in April that she won the Pulitzer Prize for bashing conservatives. Days later, she told CBS's Bob Schieffer that Tea Party rhetoric was dangerous.
Last August she called town hall protesters a fringe group and Tea party members "teabaggers." Last April she wondered if Meghan McCain was the GOP's answer to Rush Limbaugh. Last February she attacked ditto-heads and folks that try to combat liberal bias in the media.
Now, if the Post is correct, she'll be representing the Right on a new CNN program.
I guess that's what "The most trusted name in news" considers fair and balanced.
Of course, none of this should surprise anyone for the folks at CNN consider people like Parker, the New York Times' David Brooks, and the Atlantic's Andrew Sullivan to be conservative."
