DADDY DEAREST

You’ve got to hand it to Strom Thurmond. Now that Poppy Bush has his son in the White House and Colin Powell has his son at the FCC and Bill Clinton has his wife in the Senate and Mitch McConnell has his wife in the Cabinet, Strom gets to nominate his own 28-year-old son, not long out of law school, to be U.S. Attorney for South Carolina. Those Judiciary Committee Hearings could be tough, couldn’t they? Just so long as Strom doesn’t recognize the kid in front of him.
