21. Well, I wonder what George W. would be doing today
If his grandfather wasn't Prescott Bush, leaving a shitload of ill-gotten money to his progeny, would George W. be squatting in the White House and wrecking the country for his own personal enrichment? Probably not. Consider the case of another scion of a family that achieved wealth through dubious methods, like Ted Kennedy. Can you imagine Ted slouching in his chair at Yale, lecturing his professor on how lazy poor people are, as George W. did in his undergraduate days?

Certainly George W. isn't responsible for his grandfather's war profiteering and treasonous ways; but even a modicum of conscience might cause him to think twice about accusing other people of "appeasement" when his own family fortune was amassed the way it was.
