This is simply so preposterously and ridiculously narcissistically "Out There" that I have re-titled the article: A Legend In Her Own Mind.
Love your title. I don't know what color the air is in Whitman's world, but it's not the same stuff that the rest of us are breathing.
I really worry about what seems to me to be an epidemic of Psychopathic Narcissism in our politicians, but maybe?? it's always been this way. It's just so perverse, and also paradoxical, as how can a Psychopathic Narcissist having a sociopathic personality disorder ever actually strive for the good of the populace?
They CAN'T, they can only be in it for themselves, right?
I fear that after Whitman successfully purchases the California governorship, that she will easily buy the U.S. Presidency.
I'm serious, not series.
