I occurred to me and I wondered what other Kossacks think of this. I believe that Sarah Palin was chosen (neh hand-picked) because she IS a narcissist. I watched her give her acceptance speech and the part that jumped out most at me were the words she chose AFTER she complimented Hillary. When she talked about the 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling....apparently it is SHE who is destined to complete the job. I immediatly was struck by the overblown confidence this woman seemed to have. She just didn't seem to be humbled by the whole experience.
[Edited to add actual quote being discusssed]
"Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America, but it turns out the women of America aren’t finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all," Ms. Palin said to huge applause.
I cannot stop thinking about this woman's pompousness. Has it not occurred to her that there are other women far more qualified than she? It seemed to me as if she "always knew that this was going to happen to her".
I have met other people with this same personality in my lifetime... They are dangerous in my estimation, as they seem to possess no ethical boundaries whatsoever. The would sell there own mamas to acheive their goals. If you ever attempt to stand up to them....they will make every effort to destroy you in whatever method they can. They also justify themselves in doing this by portraying themselves holier than thou ...out and out pious.
I can only define what I detected in her demeanor as Delusions of Grandeur. When I thought that, it also occured to me that there is a pattern that seems to be emerging from the other side of the aisle. First Bush and then McCain and now Palin. ....the enormous egos make them very easy to manipulate. They are quite malleable. Manipulators can quite easily see what motivates them and use it to their greatest advantage. I think these three have been specifically selected for this very characteristic. They do not care about policy or their fellow man....they care about only about acheiving position.
