SARAH PALIN: BRIEF THOUGHT

Selfishness is the unwillingness to distinguish between one's own interests and some larger purpose. Hypocrisy is the pretence that there is no distinction. Narcissism is the inability to make the distinction. The first is immoral. The second is contemptible. The third is pathological. After listening yet again to Sarah Palin's explanation of her decision to resign the Governorship, I have concluded that she is pathological.
