In Europe, I thought it was something like "having whoever started the 
family fortune already inside the grave" AND "have a deceased family 
member who fought the right war".

If we identify the Bushes Fortune Maker as Neil Bush, then we can cover 
one of the points. But, so far, George Bush I, is still around.

I say we can pretty much call them noveau riches (and, maybe, 
nekulturny) and not miss the point.



Salut,
