Sociopathic Self Absorption

This post by Glen Greenwald nails the results of elevating a ruling caste above the law - we become inundated with sociopathic self absorption.

The fact that the men of the Bush administration, men who unleashed horrific terror and destruction on so many, most of them innocents, men whose every policy decision brought about (or sustained) utter catastrophe, could think of themselves as victims, is really beyond me. You’d think that at some point the facts on the ground would simply overwhelm them. You’d think that at least some of them would express second thoughts – would express some level of regret and embarrassment.

You’d think so – but you’d be wrong.

And if you think sociopathic self-absorption is a problem now, just wait until we elect Sarah Palin.
