No, this not a rumor, but a suggestion.
I agree with Jane Hamsher that Caroline Kennedy should not get this, she has never even run for school board.
What's more, it appears that she really does not want the job, and that she is being pushed by her family to jump in.
So, why Eliot Spitzer?
- He's smart.
- He's taken on wall street.
- He's legitimately progressive.
- He won't run for reelection in the 2010 special election, which means that the voters get to choose his successor, not the governor.
Just so you know, I do not work for Letterman, Leno, Stewart, Colbert, or O'Brien, and neither do any of my friends and relatives.
It's just my Xmas Gift to them.
I should note that this diary is "snark lite". I recommend the idea, but I also find it amusing.
