That's a compliment:
Glen...Dude, who <b>are</b> you? That's a compliment:<br /><br /> Glennzilla finds your 6 week-old blog and gives you a comment? Congrats!<br /><br />But, who <b>are</b> you? That's a WTF:<br /><br />132 blog posts since July 27? Nice work if you can get it.<br /><br />I'm a left-of-left leftie, and I enjoy Larison, but Dreher? What's your reason for blogrolling him?

Tom Schall...Is this supposed to pass for analysis? Tom Schaller has an unpublished chart with no underlying data and that settles that? I based my claims on an extensive interview with a PhD expert in the field of dynastic succession and nepotism, and then published a separate interview with him as a podcat. He says the exact opposite of Schaller:<br /><br />http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/radio/2009/01/09/burroughs/<br /><br />I don't know what explains the discrepency -- though Schaller's chart only counts relatives in Congress, not ones in other key positions such as Governorships.<br /><br />As for Olympia Snowe, her husband was Governor of Maine. That's why she made my list of "those in the Senate with immediate family members in high political office."Glenn Greenwaldhttp://www.salon.comnoreply@blogger.com
