Driving home one evening durint the run-up to the 2004 election, I happened to tune in to the BBC. They were interviewing some expert on the British peerage. The twit reported that (1) victorious US presidential candidates are those with the most connections to the peerage and (2) thatthe French-looking John Forbes Kerry, who went to Viet Nam, was way ahead of GWB in that category.
Sniff! Poor GWB. He can't claim descent for the famous Duke of Kohn.
