Oh come on. This guy is the beneficiary of the most expensive education money can buy - Andover, Yale, Harvard. He grew up in extreme privilege, with strings pulled for him at every turn. Without that protection, he could well be in jail. Yet despite that pampered background, he's pig ignorant. Combine that level of ignorance with a bellicose temperament and an imperial arsenal, and you have a serious threat to humanity.
I'm struck by the fact that while ordinary American are often odd, fascinating, and resourceful people, our elite is a disgrace. W is that risen to a very high power.
