Non-Self-Made Men

Greenwald articulates something many of us have noticed, that so many of the neo-cons (and let's face it, conservative pundits in general) are somebody's kid operating in the same environment as their parents and propelled by the same people.

Depressing, but not so surprising when it happens in an age governed by the failed son of a lesser failed President who came from a line of genetically propelled elites.

Naturally, most of these people act as if they made it on their own talent.

UPDATE: This post involves Glenn Greenwald so why shouldn't there be an update?

For those of you who forgot how the Doughy Pantload came to be thrust upon us, here are the origins of the ascent of the person I will charitably describe as a talentless prick. Further, Sadly, No is doing a series on Wingnut Welfare, naturally including people like those we have mentioned in this post.

We live in murderously stupid times.
