    In reply to It Gets Worse: Meg Whitman's Sons' Racism and Entitlement Were Stuff of Legend
    Isn't it kind of low to keep going after Griff? Even if Meg wins, it's not like her idiot son will one day rise up to take the same office.

    Oh. Never mind. Carry on.

    Something is seriously wrong here. I'm actually starting to feel compassion for this woman. I still don't want her anywhere near the nuclear codes, but she's really kind of a tool, no?

    Such boorish behavior in my estimation results not from entitlement but from insecurity about that privilege. The diva from the projects, or the rapper, or any wide receiver in any league, or a Repugnant in the Senate. If this is so, then the Whitman samplings are incidents of acting up because they aren't sure they're part of that environment otherwise. Better to be kicked out of school than simply not make the grade. There's an element of volition in violation, and experienced teachers can time misbehavior behind falling behind in classwork.

    Many moons ago, a Jezebel commenter once mentioned that one of the Harsh Brothers, either Griff or Will, had been suspended in high school for calling a black girl the N-word to her face. Apparently Princeton was much more indulgent.

    @Wrapitup: Oh and I think it's very germane to the discussion that according to the GoaG article, young Will Harsh did not want to introduce a girlfriend to his family because she was Jewish.
    [guestofaguest.com]

    Kids do not acquire hateful attitudes like racism and anti-Semitism from thin air. They learn them from their parents. If young Will Harsh was indeed afraid that his parents would dislike his girlfriend simply because she happened to be Jewish, then this gets quite disturbing rather quickly.

    Wow.

    I am not rich and have never tried to be rich, partly because I refuse to work 16 hour days and raise two children at the same time.

    I have spent a great deal of time inculcating my children with what I consider to be proper values (very liberal ones) and manners.

    As a result I get compliments on my children's behavior all of the time and they've never been kicked out of anything.

    As ye sow...so shall ye reap.

    It's not like she has much of a choice. The stoopids are her base, and if the stoopids are screaming about the "Climategate" hoax, then she has to, too.

    I just realized this entire time I had been confusing Meg Whitman with Christine Todd Whitman. I think it was the Princeton/NJ thing.

    Doesn't really change much, I suppose.

    The Surprisingly Glamorous Daughter of a Brutal Uzbek Dictator. . .

    . . . that was receiving until recently (for over a decade) about $150 million in US taxpayer money (military aid) not counting the law-enforcement training we provided Karimov's security apparatus and, in one case, a free gift of thousands of police batons and riot shields. USA! USA! USA!

    It's kind of important to document stuff like this now, before they start running for office or getting CEO positions at public companies.

    Wonder what sorta hijinks Meg got up to in school? Hmm?

    @BettyCrocker: Isn't it tragic though that with the right strategist at the helm their appalling behavior would be tagged as "youthful indiscretions"?

    The rule of thumb among American oligarchs seems to be that as long as you embrace Jesus and adopt folksy mannerisms, you can still have a shot at national office even if there's a paper record as long as the Great Wall of China of your doucehbaggery
    (See George W. Bush)
