Caroline Kennedy to Seek Clinton’s Senate Seat

[Wretched Excess]

if a guy that was a community organizer, a state senator, and then a full time presidential candidate for two years is qualified to be president, I don't see the point in getting hung up on qualifications for high political office ever again.

hell, which committee chairmanship does she want?

Caroline Kennedy to Seek Clinton’s Senate Seat

Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of an American political dynasty, has decided to pursue the United States Senate seat being vacated by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, a person told of her decision said on Monday.

The decision came after a series of deeply personal and political conversations, in which Ms. Kennedy, whom friends describe as unflashy but determined, wrestled with whether to give up what has been a lifetime of avoiding the spotlight.

Ms. Kennedy will ask Gov. David A. Paterson of New York to consider her for the appointment, according to the person told of her decision. The governor was traveling to Utica today and could not immediately be reached for comment.

If appointed, Ms. Kennedy would fill the seat once held by her uncle, Robert F. Kennedy.

Ms. Kennedy has been making calls this morning to alert political figures to her interest.

Ms. Kennedy’s decision is likely to have a major impact on the governor’s considerations as he mulls who should succeed Mrs. Clinton. Already, some other Democrats have pointedly questioned her credentials for the job. United States Representative Gary Ackerman, a Queens Democrat, said last week that he did not know what Ms. Kennedy’s qualifications were, “except that she has name recognition — but so does J. Lo.”

Just what we need.  Another f'ing Kennedy in the *******ed senate.

It's absolutely sickening.  Just when we [thought] we were about to be rid of that pack of rat bastards for good with the impending death of Vast Teddy (I've got ticket number 372,774 to piss on the bastard's grave), another of 'em pops up.  They're like f'ing cockroaches.

the democrats obviously don't mind packing the legislative and executive branch with neophytes, know-nothings, incompetents, defectives, retards, and amateurs.

who is going to chaperone this bunch?

"Remember, [Clinton's] seat in the Senate was once held by Robert Kennedy," said Bill Schneider, CNN's senior political analyst. "[Caroline Kennedy's] other uncle, Ted Kennedy, is ill right now. If Paterson appoints Caroline Kennedy to the Senate, it means there could be a Kennedy staying in the Senate for quite a long time."

if that is the way that we wanted it to work, we would have never fought the revolution.  or emigrated from the old world, for that matter.

For all of the DUmmies complaining about "King George", they have no shame when it comes to their own "royalty".

*Sigh.*

Just when I thought she was the only one of that bunch who had half a brain.

The fact that she allowed herself to be dragged into that seeping cesspool known as D.C. is proof positive that she doesn't have a mind of her own.

WTF has she been doing for the past 30 years anyway? Cheering from the freakin' sidelines as her uncle and cousins make idiots out of themselves?

If Paterson appoints her to office, any guesses as to how much the payoff is? Blind or not, the PC sumbitch has to eat...

San Fran Nan, queen of the idiot tribe.

I swear, you just described my moonbat Congresscritter (Che-Porter) to a friggin T.  Have you ever had one of those realizations that you should run for Congress because you KNOW you couldn't do any worse than the person currently representing you?

That's Carol Shea-Porter.  Moronicus extremus.  She was a social worker here in my hometown when she decided to run for Congress.  Prior to that she showed up at a few Bush rallies in NH to protest him.  She hasn't a friggin clue, yet not only did she get elected in 2006, the idiots sent her BACK to DC with a larger percentage of the vote (55 percent) than she got the first time around.

If you look at DU, there's quite a few people that think Caroline Kennedy is unqualified for the Senate.  It's the current ongoing war in GD: P.

are any of them the same people that thought BHO was qualified to be president?

it could be a sinple matter of political payback;  the kennedy endorsements really did drive the stake through Count Hillaracula's heart.  maybe CK is calling in her IOUs.
