In the previous post, I recorded two archetypes of "Loyal Bushies" — the Moronotron and the Henchdoofus. Here's another one.
The Spoiled Rich Prick. Typically, the SRP attended boarding school at Phillips something-or-other or at St. Somebodies in New Hampshire. Although he learned nary a thing, and his SATs were under 1000, he was admitted to Yale (which his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather attended) and in his senior year was tapped for membership by Numskull and Boners. The SRP went on to study at the Harvard Business School, where he graduated dead last in his class. Although eligible for the draft, through his father's influence he was able to secure a place in the National Guard, from which he was frequently absent-without-leave. For a decade or so after Harvard, the SRP was distinguished for booze, cocaine and drabbing. Friends of the family set him up in a business, which failed, and then bought him out for many millions. Then the SRP's father decided that he was too incompetent to enter the family business, so he had him elected governor. He still holds high political office and is famous for his laziness, rhetorical incompetence, anti-intellectualism, partisanship, ignorance, truculent stubbornness, petulance and bonehead errors in matters of national consequence.
Spike Schapiro comments: "Thanks for this portrait. I guess you had Dan Quayle in mind."
