More on Parker

Well, Ms. Parker's stunt worked. Some commentators have worked themselves into a lather over Parker's "Giving Up On God" piece. Jonah Goldberg is especially ticked. You can find some reaction here. It's called "The Corner" and it's a place for National Review writers to sound off about anything that's bugging them.

For Parker, the piece was a good career move. She should keep it up. MSNBC, Slate, Salon, and other outlets will be happy to have a conservative convert make guest appearances. If she proves her bona fides by penning a hardcore pro-abortion piece, she's in like Flynn.

That said, I don't know how much of money-making future there is in commenting on anything. Newspaper sales are down, and Time magazine is the latest to announced layoffs.
