So What if Her Name’s Clinton?
There’s been a lot of talk about Dynasty lately, and I’m not talking about a crappy but hugely successful TV show that helped break up the Soviet Empire. I’m talking about the next president.
People worry about the president’s last name, and the fear that we’ll spend the next seventy years in a Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton-Gush-Klingon presidential spiral vortex. But is this new? I don’t think so. Vice President Al Gore’s father was a Senator from Tennessee. President John Adams had a son John Quincy Adams, who not only was also president, but had a hit TV show.
Former Senator Bob Dole and his wife, current Senator Elizabeth Dole, are related to the pineapple.
Then there’s John F. Kennedy, who was related to that annoying MTV girl.
Then there’s House Minority Leader John Boehner, whose last name is pronounced “boner”. I’m just saying.
