| Politics "wid" a taste of Philly, by Will Bunch of the Philadelphia Daily News |
Quote of the day from USA Today on the upcoming Gonzales confirmation hearing for AG. It noted that (the flawed) Gonzales did rise from the son of uneducated Mexican immigrants to attend Harvard law school and become a star attorney:
Bush “likes somebody he sees as having overcome potential disadvantages, because he sees himself as having done that,” says Paul Burka, executive editor of Texas Monthly magazine and a close follower of the president.
Which "potential disadvantages" would those be? Born into a family of Wall Street and oil field millionaires? Grandson of a U.S. senator? Son of a U.S. president? Forced to attend Andover and Yale despite mediocre grades? Bailed out of repeated business failures? Handed a major league baseball team in a sweetheart deal?
We wish they would have been more specific, with so many potential disadvantages to choose from.
UPDATE: For those of you reading this from a link, here's Paul Burka's response.
Does being a drunk count as a disadvantage? How about not so good with the book learnin'? Does that count?
