Why is Kathleen Parker so ignorant about American history?

Via Newsbusters.  

Kathleen Parker is the kind of conservative that Liberals would build from spare body parts if they could construct conservatives: stupid people who espouse "Liberal Lite."


On Thursday's Parker-Spitzer, CNN's Kathleen Parker bizarrely and inaccurately claimed that Alexander Hamilton came to the United States illegally and drafted the Constitution: "Let's remember...a lot of Americans did come through the back door such as Alexander Hamilton. He got off the boat from the West Indies, and all he did was write the Constitution and become the first Secretary of the Treasury."

The real Hamilton had a somewhat different history. He did not come to the United States because when he arrived here from the British West Indies this country was still a British colony. And he did not write the Constitution, that was largely the work of James Madison.

And of course, Spitzer (otherwise known as Client number 9) agreed with Parker, making him complicit in her ignorance.
