...Harvard community. However, there are apparent disparities between the demographics of Z-listers and Harvard as a whole. In an article published by The Crimson in the summer of 2002, 76 percent of a sample of the incoming Z-list class had parents who attended Harvard. Although most students chide the College for allowing a practice that seems to unfairly favor those of more privileged backgrounds, I am unperturbed.

...Scozzafava hasn't exactly helped herself. At one point she called 911 after a Weekly Standard reporter followed her to her car asking questions about taxes. The gaffe soon became fodder for a Hoffman radio ad.

In the past, he put his foot in his mouth by saying that "even Alzheimer's patients" could tell that rice was more expensive in China, and in response to China's criticism of former Prime Minister Koizumi's visit to Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine (considered by some to be a symbol of Japan's wartime aggression) he told China "to keep quiet". His political gaffes make headlines, make LDP members cringe and, in the past, have strained ties with China...
