I think about George Stephanopoulos, moving from the Clinton White House to ABC News. Or there's Chris Matthews, a Tip O'Neil staffer. There's Cokie Roberts the daughter of Dem. House Majority Leader Hale Boggs. The revered Tim Russert was chief of staff to Dem. Senator Moynihan. It goes on and on.
Also, many in the media and the political class are connected though marriage.
