Outrageous.  There are millions of youth unable to find jobs after their studies and this bitch gets a superior executive position for being the 'son of'.  <_<

I agree-- this is shocking & totally unprecedented.  And it only happens on the right :lol:

His son is actually kinda cute.


Both sons are quite cute but that's not the point.

To think there are people actually supporting this move on the grounds that he's now mature enough for the job.

This stinks of 'Ancient Régime'

He looks like somebody hit him in the face with a board. Is his upper lip naturally like that or does he get collagen?

Don't tell me you compare managing one's wang with managing thousands of employees and bilions of $ in budget.  Even you cannot be that dumb.

I was just noting the irony of you using "maturity" as a qualifier for anything, that's all.

Anyway, didn't Napoleon become a general at a similar age?  :P
