when people get things simply because of who they're related to. Like Bush is president because his father was. There's a phrase for it that's escaping me! I'll delete this shit once I get an answer. :oops:

Thanks for any help.

oops, I guess you can't delete threads? I just didn't wanna take up space with a dumb question..

Well, actually since there was an election, it's not really nepotism.

If GWB named Jeb Attorney General (RFK who?) that would come closer to actual nepotism.

And Noelle Bush was Press Secretary. And Neil Bush was White House Chief of Staff.

No, no, no. GWB would have to be a Catholic priest with a penchant for giving the sacraments to the ladies, then divying plum positions to his nephews and nieces.

Yeah - Nepotism works. Of course, some people might use things like: The Black Hand, La Cosa Nostra, Soprano Style, Ol' Boy Network. . .

In GWB's case, "Ol' Boy Network" is probably most applicable.
