Even if the Killian memos are fake, King George II got select passes out of combat during a war that killed thousands of poor kids. Whether he was campaigning for his dad, hanging out in Alabama, or getting into business school (on yet another pass) he was cruising on his family's connections.
Why is it okay for rich kids to get a pass (or ten) through life, yet people think it's unfair for a poor kid to get a hand up into college?
Is that family values? Maybe all that means is that Republicans are for valuable families, literally. Believe me, I'd rather fix our educational imbalances before kids hit their freshman year, but few funds are invested in fixing that. All the while, rich kids with Cs can get into Yale.
The brutal hypocrisy in this country is stunning.
Thanks to Randi Rhodes for bring this concept to the surface.
