Punditry incests and intermarriage is a deceptive thing, they all play like there is no connection and purpose, but there are too many examples to the contrary: Kristol and his SIL at the Washington Free Beacon, Coke with her Journalist Husband and father Boss Boggs and many others. They are all inbred elites who suffer much the same traits of European royalty of yesteryear where inbred incestual traits were all the rage.
Good comment. Lot’s of groupthink in the pundit class.
