RE GOING ROGUE PALIN ETC

The term, turning or going rogue,  goes way back, of course.

Colonial governors were regularly accused, by inflamed colonists, of turning rogue, in the colonial period.

See Bailyn, The Origins Of American Politics, pb, p. 137.

Those governors, back then, however, usually were relatively well qualified, comparatively speaking, and normally did not go rogue so to speak.
