The only job he had prior to this was at a Potemkin company set up by the Bushies to give him something - anything - on his resume so the whole thing wouldn't be obvious as a farce.

Actually, he was a high school teacher for two years before going to law school. He was then a corporate attorney with Akin Gump for several years before serving a tour in Afghanistan as an intelligence officer in the Naval Reserve. He had to serve under a fake name so that his unit wouldn't become a target. Most people had no idea he was in Afghanistan until his tour was over.

He has far more qualifications than most politicians. His biggest disqualification is his last name.

The school teacher thing I did know about but had forgotten. That's a legit job and I would in no way disparage it but it hardly is a qualification for statewide office.

The Akin Gump gig for a bigfoot politician's son is so much dross. Hillary and the Mooch did tours at big law firms, too. They'd both starve as working lawyers if they didn't have influence to peddle. You'll have to point me to where Geo. P. did some actual lawyering without training wheels.

What am I to make of the Afghanistan/fake name business? It might be true; it would align with Uncle George's and Grampa George's service. On the other hand it might be fake but accurate. By the nature of your claim, it can't be documented so its evidentiary value is nil.

All that aside, though, I still would not vote for him if he was George Washington's son, nephew, or grandson because it stinks of royal succession.
