Stupid, he is. But young, he ain't. (At least not in my book.)
"Born in 1958, Ron lived his entire life as a politician's son."
Being a politician's son is not a prerequisite to following in dad's footsteps.
I think Ron (like all liberals) is an opportunist. Since his dad's funeral, he automatically has a stage .. a stage which the Bush-hating media will give him.
If he wants to make an a$$ of himself, so be it.
