America's "Royalty"

We don’t have any—do we? Sure we do. They’re the children of politicians,. And the relatives of politicians. Politicians make sure of it. How many Roosevelts (and relatives of Roosevelts) have been given high-paying government jobs to get them on the “government dole?” How many have been elected to office in "easy" districts? How many of their descendants the same? Former government employees (above certain grades, anyway) are, by law, paid almost as much in RETIREMENT as they were when they worked for a living. If you can call that work. How many Kenendys? How many Fords? For that matter, how many Reagans have had high-paying government jobs (Not so many, huh? Because they were conservatives)? I’m not going to even ASK about Clintons. Bill gets big money in retirement and so does his wife—not because she’s a former First Lady, but because she’s a former Secretary of State, which she was because she was a former First Lady. Why did she ever become Secretary of State? Because she’s Bill Clinton’s wife. Then there’s BIll's 33-year-old daughter Chelsea, who was just recently confirmed as Ambassador to Japan. She’s a pretty little thing (finally), but what qualifications does she have to be an ambassador?

For that matter, what qualifications did her MOTHER have to be Secretary of State? She’s Bill Clinton’s WIFE, that's what. She was elected Senator in an "easy" district after the strongest opposition candidate was forced out. She's now "double-dipping" by collecting retirement income from being Senator while collecting retirement as Secretary of State (which amounts to more than $200,000.00 a year). Bill thinks his daughter would make a "great president." What? On what imbecility does he base that? Their financial future is assured, through government jobs for which they are NOT qualified by anything but being related to top politicians of the past. Chelsea is 33 years old, and has really done NOTHING in her life except be Bill’s daughter. Remember Sergeant Shriver? He was nothing except brother-in-law to a Kennedy. How many other relatives, either directly or by marriage are in government jobs? To be paid for life in retirement without having to ever do any REAL work? Notice I didn’t even ask about the Bush family. Not because they don’t have relatives and friends in government jobs, but because the “political elite” don’t like them because they’re Republicans, even if they ARE “Progressives.” The point is, if you’re related, in any way, to top government officials, you can depend on the government to pay you to do nothing in your later life (unless you're not a liberal) because of that. Count on it. (Just common sense)

Chelsea is NOT 'a pretty little thing'. She is butt-ugly. Additionally, she cannot string a sentence together without um, ah, er, and ya-know.

Anon: Axtually, she isn't bad looking as long as she keeps her mouth shut so we can't see those prominent front teeth. But that's not important. The other part of your comment is "right on true." Who ever thought she'd make a good ambassador is insane. But then, that's how we get half our appointed politicians.
