Oh, absolutely. You only need to read the latest news to see pols kids acting entitled from both sides. (Flake's kid, for the latest example).You could be right, but I have to say that most of the kids of politicians I've met have an overwhelming sense of entitlement simply because a parent is a pol. That kind of does speak to parenting.You know what? I'm pretty sure you don't have a problem with what the kid was doing. I'm fairly certain that none of you "lefties" (I hate using that term) have a real problem with what some teenage douchebag says or does... except when it affords you the opportunity to drag his Senator father, with whom you disagree, through the muck and drag him down.
If there's one thing I've learned raising three kids to adulthood, there comes a point where, no matter what you've spent years teaching them, they not only become their own people, they inevitably say or do something absolutely stupid. That doesn't mean you were a bad parent, that doesn't mean you taught them wrong. It just is what it is...
My kids got a "Gibbs," usually before and after their apologies...
Is it because their parent is a pol? Or is it because they come from a life of wealth and privilege? Granted, not all politicians are wealthy, but I think we can agree most are, and those who aren't soon become so.
And I certainly trust that this is a standard you apply to the children of both parties, because I know I've seen the stupidity of children from both political families...
But I have to laugh because in the righty mindset that only liberals feel a sense of entitlement.
