[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This memoir is a complete dumpster fire. Why would she destroy the tatters of her career by admitting to freezing out female colleagues and censoring RBG? Now she'll have the reputation for unethical journalism following her for the rest of her life. The producers of Jeopardy dodged a bullet![/quote] I saw some commenters elsewhere suggest that perhaps she is a narcissist. [b]Narcissists do not think they are wrong, ever, and would happily share their stories to prove how strong and amazing they were (even when the rest of us are appalled)[/b]. [/quote] Just look what she wore at her dd's wedding! Mememe![/quote] I'm landing with narcissist - this rings exactly true. The book sounds revealing in a depressing way. I don't really care that much about Katie, but as a middle-aged DC person I've been aware of her most of my life, and it's sad to look back on her now and see what she was. I read a WaPo article with book excerpts, and then got interested in the nanny dispute, so then I read some tabloid article about the nanny's point of view. The nanny might be a weirdo too, but she said some interesting things that made sense to me - that everyone was always propping Katie up - not just at home but at work too. And that Katie was a slob who totally neglected her home life (because work was where she was getting her narcissistic supply, why spend any effort on her home/family life?). If Katie were more self-aware, she would have left that whole nanny business out of her book, but instead apparently she spent many pages on it. [/quote] Katie was like "OMG, my psycho nanny was obsessed with me!" Such a narcissist thing to do. [/quote]
