Creedence Clearwater Revival sang, “I ain’t no senator’s son, I ain’t no fortunate one” back in the sixties. Senator Mark Pryor however is a senator’s son.
His father Senator David Hampton Pryor, held an Arkansas senate seat from 1979 to 1997. Now his son Senator Mark Pryor is running for reelection and hoping to keep the Pryor seat in the family.
Senator Mark Pryor, the son of a senator and a governor, did take the time to express his thoughts on the “sense of entitlement”, a favorite liberal term, felt by his opponent Tom Cotton.
“There’s a lot of people in the Senate that didn’t serve in the military,” Pryor told NBC News. “Obviously in the Senate we have all types of different people, all kinds of different folks that have come from all types of different backgrounds—and I think that’s part of that sense of entitlement that he gives off is that, almost like, I served my country, let me into the Senate. But that’s not how it works in Arkansas.”
What are Tom Cotton’s qualifications?
He graduated Harvard magna cum laude and received his law degree from Harvard Law School. Then he joined the US Army in the middle of the bloodiest period in Iraq and attended Ranger School.
Mark Pryor graduated from the University of Arkansas. Three years after leaving law school, he ran for office.
While Cotton, a Harvard law grad who could have been running for office, was serving in Iraq, Pryor had taken his daddy’s old job. If there’s anyone who is an expert on a sense of entitlement, it’s Senator Pryor.
