Caroline Kennedy
With the furore on both side of the political spectrum, with the buzz that Caroline Kennedy, may be replacing Hilary Clinton as the junior senator for New York, I have to really wonder, why there is so much fuss over Caroline Kennedy.
First of all Caroline Kennedy, has and will always be, a Democrat, who puts the needs of the many, first. Is she really the Paris Hilton of the Democrat Party, some poor little rich girl, who has spent years, being spotted clubbing in New York at 3AM in the morning with Lindsay Lohan?
Just remind me of all those underwear malfunction's that have been caught on camera.
I have seen criticism of her on DailyKos, the narrative of these stories, is basically, that she is trading on the Kennedy name.
Caroline Kennedy is a New Yorker, who has spent a life, gaining a degree, helping those more unfortunate then herself, and campaigning on behalf of other Democrats.
I never heard a complaint when she pitched in to help Kerry in 04 and Obama this year, or is she some sort of showpony, that is paraded in Presidential election, and then but back into her stable?
Rep Peter King, who is eyeing a Senate run, attacked Caroline for being unqualified for a senate seat, but had no problems with qualifications of Sarah Palin as a VP pick.
I take it King likes his politicans to be more Vito Fossella, less like Jeb Bartlett.
As to the whole argument of Democrats love of Dynasties and Nepotism, I envoke the case of Lisa Murkowski.
Senator Lisa Murkowski was appointed to take the Alaskan Senate seat, by her father Frank. Do i take it, conservatives kicked up such a fuss, they stopped her when she came up for election.
