“but to the kennedys, clinton will always be the fat little ignorant b*stard from the wrong side of the tracks.”

Exactly. East coast moneyed families see the Clintons as Arkansas pig farmers.

Which is funny...since the money of these particular east-coasters is filthy and bloody.

Of course by most standards the Kennedys are nouveau riche upstarts themselves...but at least they did something useful to earn their money (supply booze to thirsty Americans during Prohibition). The Clintons never did anything but parley elective office into personal wealth (a bit like Al Gore, Jr., although some of his money was the result of his father's ties to the Sovietophile Armand Hammer).
