So which of these definitions is it exactly that Ms. Plain, oh excuse me, Ms. Palin subscribes to?
I have made it no secret that I harbor nothing more than contempt for this obnoxious dimwit. Her repeated attempts to steal the national spotlight through various antics (the "Bridge to nowhere", the firing of the police chief because she felt "intimidated", that ludicrous VP candidacy, $150K RNC clothing budget for said candidacy, her philandering daughter and the subsequent David Letterman debacle, "her" retarded child, her sudden resignation from Governor, her communicating to the world via Twitter and Facebook.) This woman is a social whore on the scale of Paris Hilton, and will really stop at nothing to get media attention (which of course leads me to ask; where's the sex tape already?)
Her fervor for stardom is further exemplified in the current edition of Newsweek magazine. In a cleverly devious, or dare I say, rogue (?), move the editorial staff at Newsweek used a photo from a previous shoot of Palin's to show just to what extent she will go in her unwavering self promotion. Whereas she calls the cover "sexist," it is hard to argue that anyone else would have posed for such a picture at any point in their political careers.
But this is what sets Sarah Palin apart, what makes her a "Rogue." That she wants to be different. And there's nothing inherently wrong with different. But being different does NOT by necessity make something better. Sure, there are cases where the variant can be vastly superior (the iPhone) but being different by definition does make you a deviant. So, unless you are brilliant and creative, producing fruitful ventures and flush with new ideas for society (e.g. Howard Hughes, Andy Warhol, Richard Branson, Hunter S. Thomson, Bjork) then you are the deviant wearing the white jacket on a steady regiment of antipsychotics.
So, Ms. Palin- if you want to be different, don't blast the media for characterizing you as such. But if you're ready to admit that the things making you unique are in fact detrimental to your character and name and do nothing to advance your political or social career in a positive way, then do so post-haste, slip back into mediocrity, and stay out of our lives. That, or finally release the sex tape Americans have been waiting for.
