Actually, he's from one of Philadelphia's most blue-blooded Mainline families, the Smerfs. He has blue skin, a white cone-shaped head and he's red inside.
Smerf perched on Obama's lap when the President graced him with an interview after receiving the talk-show host's endorsement in the 2008 election.

Yes... I remember the blues.

Naw, schmerconish is far from a blue blood, no matter what kind of money his Huddled Masses and Wretched Refuse parents spent on his edumakation.
A blue-blood is one descended from royalty - an aristocrat. He is descended from central European immigrant coal miners who did the “movin’ on up” thing from Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania to the vaunted Quaker Main Line.
Believe me, I know about this. My truly blue-blooded mother married the grandson of an immigrant coal miner, albeit that man ventured to America for reasons altogether different from Smerks’.
Also, if you are inclined to dismiss his blood lines, which would be rather ironic, the Main Line where I live, is not about money but about class and breeding, a point missed by the nuveau with their funny ethnic names.
They are ordinary in most regards, not ostentatious, not surly, and very moral and traditional. Smerk is fascinated with bling, hookers, drugs, mafioso, gambling, drink, slimy all around. He is the antithesis of the Main Line but the living image of “Jersey Shore”.
I mean really, his only claim to fame was working for Reagan as a young man. It really means nothing today except as a story of the type he enjoys to tell out of school.
