Everything you need to know about Beltway nepotism, corporate cronyism and corruption can be found in the biography of Robert Hunter Biden. Where are the Occupy Wall Street rabble-rousers and enemies of elitist privilege when you need them? Straining their neck muscles to look the other way.
The youngest son of Vice President Joe Biden made news last week after the Wall Street Journal revealed he had been booted from the Navy Reserve for cocaine use. His drug abuse was certainly no surprise to the Navy, which issued him a waiver for a previous drug offense before commissioning him as a public affairs officer at the age of 43. The Navy also bent over backward a second time with an age waiver so he could secure the cushy part-time job. Papa Biden loves to tout his middle-class, "Average Joe" credentials. But rest assured, if his son had been "Hunter Smith" or "Hunter Jones" or "Hunter Brown," the Navy's extraordinary dispensations would be all but unattainable. Oh, and if he had been "Hunter Palin," The New York Times would be on its 50th front-page investigative report by now.
Despite the disgraceful ejection from our military, Hunter's Connecticut law license won't be subject to automatic review. Because, well, Biden.
Biden's bennies are not just one-offs. Skating by, flouting rules and extracting favors are the story of Hunter's life.
Hunter's first job, acquired after Joe Biden won his 1996 Senate re-election bid in Delaware, was with MBNA. That's the credit card conglomerate and top campaign finance donor that forked over nearly $63,000 in bundled primary and general contributions from its employees to then Sen. Biden. As I've reported previously, Daddy Biden secured his custom-built, multimillion-dollar house in Delaware's ritziest Chateau Country neighborhood with the help of a leading MBNA corporate executive.

where do you think the Ruling Class got it’s name?
Here’s the trick. You want to talk to Biden, you write a check to his son. His salary as a “lobbyist” was $1.6 million.
This is exactly how it works with Harry Reid. You want to talk to Reid you write a check to his sons. They are “lobbyists” too.
Just sent the following e-mail to my grown children:
“I have to apoliogize to the three of you for not becoming a politician. Just look at what your lives could have been like if I had risen to public office. Then again, all of you are good, decent, productive adults, so maybe I did make the right decision after all.”
Forget the coked up Hunter Biden or his (hopefully dry) cokehead sister- these weakling kennedy-dynasty-wannabes need to slink back to their Dupont wasteland where everyone thinks Doctor Jill and Joe Biden brought gravitas to Obama’s Chicago thug/croney administration
Didn’t you hear that Bristol Palin punched someone who called her a bad name?
Criminals. One can only hope that Justice finds them all.
The truth hurts.
They’ll get a grin out of it, I’m sure!
