Fauntleroy! The Musical (Of George P. Bush, Other Trust Fund Babies, and DeTocqueville)
If I picture is worth a thousand words, this one is 1000 eloquent ones:



George P. Bush, the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_P_Bush">Little Lord Fauntleroy of the Bush Clan, has taken GrandPoppy's advice, and chosen a form of military service a great deal less make-believe than Uncle W's.

A dutiful trust fund baby, Little Lord Fauntleroy has bucked neither his family's party affiliation, nor even http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._W._Bush#World_War_II">GrandPoppy's service branch.

More gauche, willful, or rebellious http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust_fund#Beneficiaries">trust fund babies have been known to betray their families' party ties.

Alexis DeTocqueville, in "Democracy in America," discussed - quite extensively - http://www.google.com/search?as_q=tocqueville+generations&hl=en&num=10&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=&cr=&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=virginia.edu&as_rights=&safe=images">his outsider's view of the American fauxstocracy across multiple generations, and discussed how quickly (in most cases) dynasties flame out, intellectually and financially, on this side of the Atlantic. Conversely, he discussed how America facilitates meteoric, meritorious rises.

Wherever http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_P_Bush#Political_activity">P lands in the GOP primary, working staff-wise, bears careful watching. http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=little+lord+fauntleroy">Little Lord Fauntleroy sees the White House as a feudal fife, and is willing to go for the historic three-peat.

2. And where is young Georgie P. these days?
As of 12/5 (according to AP) he is with Jowly Thompson, and his brother Jeb Jr. is with Ghouliani.

Does this signify?

3. The P Stands for "Plenty of Options"...
... regardless of how Thompson does.

He was "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cartman%27s+mom+crack+whore+magazine+young+needed+money">young and needed the money."
