"It's Not What You Know, It's Who You Are Related To"; American Oligarchy Edition- Clinton Branch

Chelsea Clinton basically pulls down 900 large for a couple of nearly no-show jobs.

I'll readily agree that this is a condition that spans party lines. You're no more as likely to find one of the Spawn of Romney, Bush or Kennedy holding down a job in an assembly plant or dishing out lattes at a coffee shop than you are to find Chelsea Clinton doing it. And this shit goes on up and down the economic strata, such as kids who get into jobs because a relative gives them an in. There are no shortage of family businesses where the "lesser-talented" have virtually no-show jobs.

But imagine that you're a hard-working reporter somewhere. You're probably a few orders of magnitude better at it than Ms. Clinton, but you're covering zoning meetings in Iowa because that's the work you could get, as you don't have family connections.

Bet money on this: This really grated at somebody at NBC whose last name isn't that of a famous family.

One only hopes that she is aware of the advantages that her name has brought her, unlike, say, a certain former president who, as the saying goes, "was born on third base and believes that he hit a triple."
