Well, she certainly delivered as advertised!
I'm fine with taking a real, fallable "average joe" perspective, but I would expect progress and responsibility from her over the years. Instead, she continues to make questionable choices and then uses a widely published column to try to justify them.
I think that's dangerous, since there are people that will take it as legitimate financial advice--and if it's OK for her to do it, it must be OK for them.
Seriously, what would you think if she were hired to write a diet column and started every piece with "Well, I ate another Double Whopper combo today, but I got 25% of my daily calcium from the cheese, and 3 grams of fiber from the fries, so really it was a good thing..."
