Oh, dear. If there was ever a time for “bless her precious heart,” this is it. The often hurl-worthy Kathleen Parker of The Washington Post seemingly tweeted that genius remark this morning (the account is unverified).
Okay, maybe it doesn’t top her sickening ode to President Obama few years ago. But, it’s close. The Parker Twitter account followed it up with some swooning over Newark Mayor Cory Booker as well. Squee! He’s so dreamy!
Bloomberg/Booker ticket, anyone?

Twitter users crossed their respective political aisles to join together … in mocking. So, there’s that! Kathleen Parker’s idiocy brings people together! Is Ms. Parker betting that people are thinking “President Bloomberg?” Well, Twitter users are united in betting that Ms. Parker is cuckoo pants.
Read, and giggle madly.
Funniest tweet of the day! RT @kathleenparker: Forget Romney/Obama. I'm betting lots are thinking President Bloomberg this morning.

Could it be a parody account?
Are we sure that this is actually @kathleenparker and not some parody account?

@IMAO_ @kathleenparker Parody. Surely no one now believes Obama schooled anyone in anything — especially the military

@IMAO_ @kathleenparker Well, she's embracing big government nannies, so it checks out.
— Andrew Boucher (@AndrewBoucher) October 30, 2012
Hmm. The account was linked as the real Ms. Parker’s by Fox News last month.
Either way, Twitter users continue to offer some hilarious mockery. It’s hard to tell if it is a parody or not; That’s what happens when one becomes a self-parody all on her own.
She's quite mad, you know. RT @kathleenparker Forget Romney/Obama. I'm betting lots are thinking President Bloomberg this morning.

Is @kathleenparker trolling me? The idea of "President Bloomberg" is shockingly moronic. She needs to read this: http://t.co/d1hLb3eO

@kathleenparker You might want to delete your tweets. It will be embarrassing when Bloomberg's mistakes become widely known.

And, win.
I'll have whatever @kathleenparker is having. But only half as much, because I don't want to be a total asshat.
