Caroline Kennedy
i mean, like, huh? other than her last name, what possibly qualifies her for a Senate appointment? where has she been for the last 8 years? not a peep out of her while Bush ran the country over a cliff, but now that the playing field is tilted in her direction, she decides she wants to be a Senator - the easy way. i hope not.

2010 here we come...

free senate seats brings out the egomaniacs, you know, the ones who are "entitled" to serve a six year term but who could never be bothered to run. for anything. ever.
indeed, where were they all when we needed zoning officers, councilpeople, state reps, county commissioners... the joke is, whoever is given the seat will have run in '10 and again in '12. ouch. - js. |

so is it fair to compare Caroline Kennedy with Sarah Palin?

hey, if palin wants to represent alaska that's alaska's problem isn't it? my problem with palin was she was going to represent me, and possibly as job one president. huge difference there. kennedy becomes a us senator from ny she won't be #1, she'll be 1 of 100 and may very well grow into the job, but if not the good voters of ny can dump her in less than 24 months. she's going to have to run in '10, and again in '12. that's a gruelling schedule. palin on the other hand would have been vp (and president of the senate) for four years after just a few months of campaigning and she was totally unqualified and disturbingly proud of her ignorance. putting aside executive experience or lack thereof (the entire state of alaska has 33% fewer residents than my county and wasalia has half the population of just 1 of my town's seven wards) you can't compare the two women. but we shall see. we shouldn't get get too carried away on kennedy. congress is filled with legacy members, appointed or otherwise who wouldn't be there if not for their names, including bush's father who himself was the son of a senator. has always been this way. sonny bono's widow mary "won" his house seat in a special election following his death. remember her? she brought us the micky mouse, er sony bono copyright extension act. a republican, she's still there. most of this anti-kennedy chatter is sour grapes from ny challengers or republicans who never seem to complain about thier own party appointments.

the Palin comparison was specific to the way she's being "handled", btw. fair or not, if she ducks the press a la Palin, she's going to invite the comparison. |

Oh, does she think she's a brain surgeon now?
Drowning Man won't get any better because his niece tucks her tail. (Or maybe she smells another senate seat to be had.) What she really needs is the traditional Kennedy drug and alcohol abuse history. Brings in the sympathy vote like Bill did for Hillary. Or sobbing over a deceased uncle might work. |
