An interesting parallel...

...that was brought to my attention by Boudicca (if I recall correctly) in an email.

The Bush family now has on the national stage at least the same number of players with similar influence as the Kennedys in the mid to latter parts of the Cold War.

Intriguing... with no Chappaquiddick to prevent the younger brother from pursing the nation's highest office, and thankfully no assassins cutting short lives, either.

I feel that family "traditions" of holding high office are very bad for our democracy, regardless of the party of the family, but that's just me. Perhaps you should think about it for a while and decide for yourself.

UPDATE: Oops... It wasn't Boudicca, so whoever pointed it out to me, let me know so I can give you credit!!!!
