Hey, and I thought the "liberals" were supposed to be the ones who keep lowering the bar so that they can protect people's self-esteem from failure. Guess the shoe is on the other foot.
I'm trying to figure out what this guy has ever shown a marked competence in. Education, no. Business, no. Government, no. Management of a war, hell no. Oh, wait, using the influence of his father to basically pave his entire path in life, yes. From getting into Yale and HBS, to the Texas Air National Guard, to the oil business and government, he is the epitome of lucky sperm. Has there ever been a luckier?
And by the way, its only mediocrity or failure if you're poor. If you're of the rich, then its just varying levels of success.
