The privileged get privileges. How many posts does a tautology merit? Do you advocate eliminating the privileged?

John, are you saying that Universities like Yale and Harvard are crooked? That they only pay attention to those from a money background? Or do they do this because there are so many that are admitted that are poor that there must be some compensation for the various endowments?

If this were true of Bush, then what about Gore, Kennedy, and any number of other people with rich parents? Or is it just Bush you want to highlight?

But there is no doubt that the connections of a former UN ambassador and RNC chair would serve the son well in his application to Harvard.

There is no place on the application to graduate school where one puts "father's profession". Whether somebody on the admissions committee brought that to the picture as they were individually reviewing the application is up to them.
