I stayed quiet as they talked about Palin and bad bosses and intolerable employment situations in general until the conversation started to die down, then almost without thinking said, “You know… working for someone like that can be great.”
Wow the room got quiet.
Again, I don’t know if Palin would be a good or a bad boss; for the sake of discussion let’s assume her ex-staffer’s book is accurate. No boss is perfect, and bad bosses can actually be great to work for — especially when you stop complaining and start taking advantage of the opportunities inherent in the attributes and behaviors of a “bad boss.”

I'll give ya points for most of your arguments, except the good points of working for a bad boss - there are none (I've been there, and I stand by my statement - whatever hypothetical 'goodness' comes of it isn't worth the hell they've put me through - in this case, 'theory' loses out to experience).
