James Taranto is
upset (no permalinks - 11/22) at Paul
Krugman (now there's a surprise) for noticing the remarkable number of nepotism appointments in the Bush administration. He returns a rather weak shot citing Democrats who also had parents who were prominent in politics, although most of those Taranto lists are elected, not appointed. Apparently Taranto has forgotten that his own publication has seized the
position, generally unsought in American politics, of being the defender of aristocratic privilege against the unwashed masses.
