In America you have the Bush's. It was the source of many a joke and much name calling of the current president.
We've all heard things like "poppa's boy," "war monger jr." etc. etc. etc.
In Canada we have a similar problem, only the son isn't a politician. It's far worse than that.
For in Canada we have a man who is on TV almost more than the president would be on American networks. He is definitely on TV more than our current Prime minister, and I guarantee in his short career this man has logged more TV hours than his father former Prime minister Brian Mulroney.
The worst part of all of this is that Brian Mulroney's son and new Canadian TV icon Ben Mulroney, is the most annoying person on the planet. This guy had no shows except for being one of the entertainment guys on CTV not one season ago. Now he is the host of a new entertainment show (headlining him - complete with annoying commercials for the show aired endlessly) and the new Canadian idol (also ripe with annoying commercials). He is the most fake person I've ever seen on television (whether he is fake or not he surely comes off as it) and he is annoying as hell because he is so chipper and smiley all the damn time.
And I can't help wonder if the only reason he has this job and as much recognition is because he is the son of the much loved (ahem......) former Prime minister of Canada. (Note the "ahem......". For all Americans unfamiliar with this man, he is probably the most hated leader of this country in the last 50 years)
This is my rant. All those in agreement please say I.
