It's getting to the point where we only have two choices: Coke or Pepsi. Or maybe Dr. Pepper and Sprite for the sake of argument that we do have more choices (but remember, those are both bottled by either Coke or Pepsi!).
Clinton or Bush? Kennedy Jr. or Jackson Jr.?
I guess it means that despite our declared independence, we're all still essentially Britons at heart. Loyal and even strangely affectionate towards our ruling families. We seem to believe that leadership is hereditary, regardless of all good evidence to the contrary.
One correction to your story above: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is not a contender for either a cabinet post or the NY senate seat. He withdrew his name for consideration on both fronts yesterday.
