American Royalty

This Post at TPM.

Fox's Parent Company Not The Only News Outlet Funding Gov Races | TPMMuckraker#more

has the following paragraph.

Nathan Daschle, the head of the Democratic Governors Association, requested in a letter to Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes that the network add a formal disclaimer to its coverage whenever a program covers governors or gubernatorial races until Election Day.


Nathan Daschle is ex-senator Tom Daschle's son. His mother is a lobbyist.

I also found this: President Daschle?

and this,.. Nathan talking about politics

“It’s of no interest to me. I could say that without hesitation,” the younger Daschle said of holding elected office. “It’s too much of a sacrifice. I’m not willing to make it. The price of success is immense sacrifice.”
(emphasis mine).

He may be a great guy but i doubt he'd be where he is now if not for the power, money and influence of his parents. I think I would append this to his quote above.

"the price of success is immense sacrifice," on the part of your parents.

A well connected son of power and money. More American royalty.
