Compared to Hunter Biden’s admitted alcohol and hard drug abuse — and, according to Republicans, his influence-peddling crime spree — a federal railroad patronage appointment seems mild and milquetoast. But 17 years later, it takes on a darker tinge considering the troubles President Joe Biden’s often-wayward son would embroil himself in....

Technically nominated by President George W. Bush as part of a broader deal with Democrats over Senate appointments, Hunter Biden’s Capitol Hill patron was Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE).

I occasionally use them, I think I’m pretty qualified.

Historically, postmaster jobs were one of the biggest (or at least most numerous) gifts for a President to hand out. Thousands of positions in every state, county or town in the nation. Lots of favors got paid back every four years.

But if Hunter had any questions about Amtrak, all he had to do was ask his old man, the Big Guy. Has Hunter, Biden’s only living boy, ever gotten a job on his own merits? And how about the rest of the ‘kids’?

Much-earlier meteoric rise to become a Vice President at Delaware-based credit card issuer MBNA.
