It can be argued that there are some dynasties among the presidency. Adams, Roosevelt, Kennedy and even Bush. When you think of the odds of one person getting elected, and then you multiply those odds by a gajillion and that's the odds of one family creating two presidents.
That said, my favorite political family of all time is the Quayles. They are the inbred, midwest branch of those hicks from the South. Dan Quayle was a particular proud idiot and for the longest of times, his public stupidity went unmatched.
Imagine my glee when I stumbled across this completely serious, non-ironic little video from a Quayle offspring, Quayle-Light you might say. If you pause it about halfway through and look deeply into those pretty, vapid and empty eyes, you too will recall the glory days of politics, when a completely wooden know nothing was vice president, and the world was flat.
Oh, spoiler alert, watch to the very end.
