I don't believe Mr. Kristol was referring to himself or G.W. Bush. He's obviously aware of the legacies that that gave both of them their careers. No, he was talking about the great man himself, Mittworth "Mitt" Romney.

Mitt, the epidemy of self reliance. A man who single handedly built his fortune with nothing but a trust fund, a meager portfolio of blue chip stocks and a first class education that he earned through good old fashioned family relationships.

If only the Democrats could be as boot-strappy as good old "made-it-on-his-own" Mitt, but alas they can only find success by playing on their name recognition.

As a result of generations of inbreeding, the last king was insane and he was slain by a member of his own guard during Robert's Rebellion?

Do head over to Twatter and check out Kristol's responses, 100% negative! There is some life out there.

They're different, and a new phenomenon - a wingnut pedigree, rather than money.

Bill Kristol, he of the Lucky Sperm Club, can still fog a mirror. Alas.

Kristol advances the careers of people he believes he's smarter than, like Quayle or Palin. But it's more like the way dogs and cats view human beings:

Dog: "They feed me, let me in and out, take me to the vet, pick up my shit and give me a warm place to sleep. They must be gods!"

Cat: "They feed me, let me in and out, take me to the vet, give me a warm place to sleep, and clean up my shit. I must be a god!"

When your daddy bought the <strike>factory</strike> magazine and you go there every day and sit at a desk in the front office, it's not like you're really <i>employed.</i>

You forgot when he was running the Texas Rangers sportsball club into the ground.

Self-awareness, as a desireable trait, is not something the Kristols, Bushes, and others of their ilk have much taken to.

Republicans don't come from a legacy. They are created wholly from starstuff. Or toxic waste. It loses a little in the translation.
