Alma 51:5.  Some of America's king-men:
The 50 most prominent American dynasties have been named in the newest issue of Town and County Magazine, and a few surprises - including Rahm Emanuel and his brothers - made the list.

The magazine broke down its top-50 list into five categories including the most powerful, inspiring, generous, enduring and creative families.

Topping the list as most powerful is the Bush family, which includes two former presidents, a senator and two governors.
Coming in second place behind the Bushes is the Kerry family, including Secretary of the State John Kerry, and then the Murdochs, the Emanuel brothers and the Kennedys.

Rupert Murdoch is the billionaire chairman and CEO of News Corporation and the Emanuels include Chicago Mayor Rahm, healthcare consultant Ezekiel and Hollywood superagent Ari.
