Caroline Kennedy - Sarah Palin Part Deux

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

This excerpt is from the NYT, but it already appears to have been removed from the NYT website!

In a carefully controlled strategy reminiscent of the vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin, aides to Caroline Kennedy interrupted her on Wednesday and whisked her away when she was asked what her qualifications are to be a United States senator.

In her first public appearance since letting it be known that wants to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton, Ms. Kennedy emerged from a closed-door meeting with Matthew J. Driscoll, the mayor of Syracuse, where about a dozen reporters were waiting.

She offered a 30-second statement saying that she would respect the process undertaken by Gov. David A. Paterson to fill the vacancy.

Then, as reporters asked why Ms. Kennedy was seeking the Senate seat and whether she was ready, she did not answer, then walked away, heading toward a waiting black sport-utility vehicle.

When one reporter asked what she would tell New Yorkers who question whether she has the qualifications for the job, Ms. Kennedy, 51, started to respond. But then an aide stopped her from saying more, and led her to the waiting vehicle.

"Hopefully I can come back and answer all those questions," she called out as she got into the S.U.V.

To those who felt Palin was not experienced enough.... they SHOULD be livid about this "appointment". (but they won't)

Palin at least did have experience.

My problem with Palin wasn't her lack of experience, it was her complete ignorance.

Caroline Kennedy is old and Ugly.

She looks likes John Kerry

Ok, now that it's Kennedy is up to bat we are ditching the "not enough Experience" talking point.

Gottcha.

I read my post again, and I dont see me mention anything to that effect

I just said that Palin was ignorant of policy and international issues. I freely admit that Caroline Kennedy has no political experience. But she did attend Harvard and Princeton for Law school, which dwarfs Palins educational background. Kennedy is much more articulate and intelligent, and her last name brings a certain level of clout that is unique. Seriously though, who has put their name into the arena that is qualified for the job?

I don't know much about Caroline Kennedy. One would hope that she isn't a dunce - for the sake of the voters, but I guess we'll find out in the coming days and weeks...

Palin certainly was a dunce.

Why? The President-elect had no experience and his new job is much tougher than being a Senator. He spent most of his senate term campaiging to be president, so how hard can it be??

[William33 110]

Dunces all around.... Guess we are solid in the USA!!!

The only qualification she will need is to be able to get out of a submerged car...

I cannot for the life of me imagine what is wrong with the people of the Northeast.

I can think of few Americans, or even enemies of America, who have so consistently tried to do harm to America than has Ted Kennedy. He is a despicable person, should have been convicted of manslaughter, and certainly not worthy of public office. Yet they send him to the Senate, and would likely do so after his death.

Charlie Rangel? YGBSM. This guys thieving ways are an embarrassment not just to NY, but to the human race.

Hillary Clinton....an Arkansas carpetbagger comes to town and you elect her to the Senate. Can anyone actually question her lack of ethics?

Charles Schumer - Don't get caught between this creep and a camera.

Joe Biden - Plagiarism Made Simple, Vol I. Mr Gaffe a day.

Not NE per se, but Roberry Byrd of West Va.

The Governor of NY has to step down due to a sex scandal, The Govenor of NJ turns #######.

NH elects a card carrying socialist. (might be vermont now that I think about it. Bernie Sanders, you look it up).

I am not saying the folks we send are always paragons of virtue, but they don't compare to the creeps the new englanders send to represent them.

Well, I can hardly wait until the press starts looking into Caroline's clothing costs, her family, what news papers she reads, where she attends church, if and when she's ever "seen" Russia, whether she's a "good" Mom and so forth....

Welcome to Bizzarro World!

It's Sarah Palin all over again! NOT!

Now back to the real world...the liberal media will accept her with open arms because she's a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT- never mind she knows squat! She's what we need. We don't know what we need....They, the annointed ones, born and bred to lead will impose themselves on us for our own good.

LIBRULS = Hypocrites= Pompous Azzes

Same stale old diatribe from the tired, bitter old man.

And what exactly, do the CONSERVATIVES bring to the fcuking table? Why don't you define that for everyone, since you can't define LIBERAL properly, let alone spell it.
