The guy sounds like a terrible guy. However, a smart woman *distances* herself from something in which she is personally involved, follows the process, and then promotes process change. This approach was not smart.
A family member of mine works in a public position. I have been awed by his ability to stay above board and affect change for the positive while maintaining both propriety AND the appearance of propriety. She admits that she at least missed the boat on the latter.

I'm the mother of one amazing son by miraculous birth. Now five years later, I'm the mother of one beautiful daughter too, this time through adoption from Ethiopia. I'm an overthinker extraordinaire, with an extraordinary family.

But of course I'm a HUGE HUGE HUGE Palin fan!

I wish she would have admitted it sooner -- before she had to. _Then_ she could have been a real role model.
