The Entitlement Gene Runs Deep in the Romney Family – Brother Scott May Run for the Senate

Why – Because He is Entitled to a Senate Seat, He’s a Romney

When Mitt Romney talked about the people who felt they were entitled, he knew of what he spoke.  Four months after the November election no one can remember a single reason why Mitt Romney was running for President.  The only rationale explanation for his candidacy, he was a very rich man who wanted the ultimate rich man’s toy, the Presidency, and because he was a rich man, he was entitled to it.

Mitt Romney's brother Scott eyeing Senate bid in Michigan

Now we have Mitt’s brother considering whether or not to run for the open Senate seat in Michigan.

Scott Romney, the older brother of 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, is "interested and seriously looking at" a run for the U.S. Senate seat in Michigan being vacated by retiring Democratic Sen. Carl Levin, a friend of the Romney family tells CBS News.

Now it is tempting to say that Scott Romney has absolutely no qualifications or experience that would qualify his candidacy, although there are these  items on his resume.

Scott Romney has been a presence in Michigan politics for more than a decade. He sought but narrowly lost the Republican nomination for Michigan attorney general in 1998, and between 2001 and 2009 he was a member of the Michigan State University Board of Trustees. He also served as a Michigan delegate at Mitt Romney's 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.

Ok, those are not light qualifications, those are zero qualifications.  So why does Scott Romney consider himself Senate material.  The conclusion here, Scott is entitled to the Senate seat because he is the brother of a man who is entitled to the Presidency.  That makes Scott Romney maybe the most self-entitled person ever.
