I have a question.

Look at the Pakistani leader who now has a fatwa against him after his meeting with Palin! All because of Palin’s inappropriately flirtatious behavior due to not maintaining professional boundaries.

You aren’t insinuating that Palin is responsible for these men’s behavior, are you?

The way I understand what you’ve written is due to her lack of boundaries, others think it’s okay to reciprocate.

The reason I’m glad to read this is because its very, very serious. The idea of having a VPOTUS, and by extension if something happened to McCain, a POTUS also have NPD is just beyond scary in my opinion. Nuclear codes in her hands? Makes me want to throw up.

Just wanted to post this explanation. I truly had assumed I was posting into the beta ether…..

Oh, well, Karma works in strange ways, does it not?

As you likely realize, there’s a whole new area of Palin fuzzy boundaries, related to who built her house and cronyism related to the Wasilla sports complex contracting. As AKmuckraker at mudflats put it:

once you’ve established something is an onion, it doesn’t matter how many layers you peel away, it’s still an onion. And once you’ve established that someone abuses a position of power for self-gain (which we just did when the Branchflower Troopergate report was released), you can pretty well imagine that no matter how many layers you peel away, you’re likely to find more of the same.

Sadly cheaters win.

Just look at the jerk blazing down the breakdown lane and cutting people off in traffic – they get ahead. Carry that up the chain and you get CEO’s that have no downside (they can take all the money, screw the company up, and then in addition walk away with 45Million). None of them get charged – hell even when the evidence that they were criminal – or an obvious need for an investigation.

Now illegal abuse of power is nothing to pols, media, law. One would think it would be the most dispicable crime there is. Abuse of power is just like child abuse.

Thanks FORD you asshole (and Nixon and RayGun and Bush the perps).

5. On the other hand, failure to see such boundaries also leads Palin to “use” her children as political props. She fails to see that her responsibilities as a parent supersede her desire to show off a family or seek votes based this or that family member.

Not long after all four of the Obamas sat down with someone (Katie Couric or somebody) Barack Obama stated there wouldn’t be anymore of those kinds of settings or interviews. I think it became quite clear, quite quickly, to him and his wife where it might lead.

It speaks IMHO that all of us need to pay attention to those ‘gut’ reactions and run the other way – even if we don’t understand why. Thanks!

Awesome diary TheraP.

The other interesting thing is biting the hand that feeds you. People should be loyal to Ms. Palin, but she doesn’t feel the need to return the favor to people who supported her ie the resignation and finger pointing at the person who appointed her to the oil board. She got bored or knew she was in over her head and rather than fail, she quit with style and either internally or not, blamed him for putting her in that position. I bet the same with happen to McCain. She’s already blaming the press for her lamo interviews.

OTOH, I wonder if some voters will have some sort of cognitive dissonance about her Sally Fields perkiness (sorry Sally! Love ya!) and the crude selfishness she so clearly displays to people around her. Grace Kelly was well known to sleep with her leading men, but she wore the very proper white gloves that the rep of loose woman just didn’t stick.
