I was joking, but in general I don't think people need that many qualifications to get into the seats of power.
The 2nd George Bush was qualified in the fact that people felt he was the guy they wanted to have a beer with.
But the reality was he was the son of the former CIA director who happened to also become president.

Tucker himself is from old money. He's an heir to the Swanson food fortune. He's wealthy enough that he forgot he had inherited land in California, and when people looked into it the property is valued at $20 million. Imagine that being forgettable.

His father worked for the CIA, and Tucker "applied" to the agency, but somehow didn't make the cut. But then was hired for every media position he applied for directly after that.
A similar story is Anderson Cooper who only "interned" for the CIA for a few years before moving into media. Cooper himself is a Vanderbilt heir if I recall correctly.

Tucker has been the one guy on TV news who could talk about things like the revolving door between defense, pharmaceutical, and financial industries and the govt. and how legislation & policy is dictated by those interests rather than national interests. Speaking negatively about pharma alone flies directly in the face of Fox's biggest ad customer Pfizer.
It's hard to trust him, but also hard to dislike him.
