Same everywhere really .... not what you know, who you know.

Who would have thought, for example, that a "C" grade Harvard graduate, wrecker of two companies, could go on to become President not just of a company but a whole country?

Or that a senatorial candidate who lost his election bid to a dead man could get to be the Attorney General of the USA as a consolation prize. With the right connections some folks only fail upward.

I wonder if they'll be taking down that modesty blanket that currently hides a saucy breast on a statue at the Justice Department now or if it will remain as part of the New Puritanism.
