I don't think she had a real sense of how she was coming across to the American people--when you're as rich as she is, there's No Whining Allowed about how "hard" it is to "raise five boys." You don't get a manicure like she had between scrubbing floors and doing laundry. And she did come across as a whiner--an entitled whiner, at that. Between the horsies, and the cutting edge medical procedures that weren't available to "the little people" she was just one heaping helping of "privilege, writ large." The two of them were set back on their heels at how much people didn't LIKE him.
What I found "nervy" was his attempt to use Boston and the Commonwealth of MA as his "backdrop" for glory. He bought his gubernatorial election against a weak and underfunded candidate, he shoved out all primary opposition, and he only did one term because he knew he would be thrown out on his ass because we all thought he sucked. Then he acts like he's a Son of the Bean and the Cod, when he wasn't born here, doesn't know Mendon from Medford, and couldn't find his way to western MA on a bet. He's a Grade A Phony--I'm so glad the nation saw through him!
