huh? nope, sorry, i don’t know…

I’m sick of Caroline Kennedy just as quickly as I was sick of Odrama!

She must be a shoe in then!

I really thought if Odrama could wear on a person like that, no one would vote for him, but dang…

More like “Profiles in Scourge” as far as Caroline is concerned. I remember Jack and she is no Jack.

I think your right, she’s a shoe in just like her lovely little unqualified friend barry.

More like a shoe-horn trying to fit a rectangle into a round hole.

It still burns me she backed The Glorious One over Hillary. If it is true her kids talked her into it, then it is just one more strike against her ability to be a representative of the people.

And another thing that still burns me is I guess she forgot all the flack the Clinton’s took when they let her take JFK JR’s ashes on a destroyer out to sea for a private memorial.

She isn’t entitled to anything.

YOU KNOW, POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL WANTS A NEW HOBBIE ,YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW? HUH YOU KNOW , OH YEA YOU KNOW.

These two assholes deserve each other.

Sounds like a daily exercise for Obots.

CK is a Kennedy and they hated the Clintons.

LMAO, PK

Totally Awesome!

The whole arguement of Dynasty politics that was hurled at Senator Clinton has been laid bare for what it is.

UG!

She doesn’t have a dynamic style; is her teleprompter broken? Everyone here in New York is acting like her appointment is a done deal; everyone except the one who counts, Governor Paterson.

The Kennedy dynasty is coming to an end. They (meaning Uncle Ted) thought he and Princess Caroline could latch onto Obama to keep the Kennedy name going for another half century or so. That’s why they endorsed Obama simply because he was cool and the media whores wanted to make Obama into the next JFK. Too bad you can’t make an empty suit into the next JFK or MLK. And too bad Caroline and JJJr. didn’t inherit their parents’ intelligence. JJJr. at least had more charisma and probably would’ve been pushed into politics by Uncle Ted whether he wanted to or not. Now that JJJr. is dead, Uncle Ted is forcing Caroline into politics. Maybe he should’ve thought about forcing her into doing something with her life 20 years ago but I guess Teddy thought the Kennedy name alone would be enough. Oh, well. Despite everything Teddy tried to do, the harsh reality is that Americans are tired of the Kennedy dynasty, especially those who have done nothing but feel entitled to a high political office. The only Kennedy left that has my respect is Robert Kennedy Jr.

It seems our new paparazzi President elect doesn’t like his new star status as the most photographed person in the world:-)

Stop the hate, paparazzi and let OBush eat his waffle.

I’ll have a taste of this, a bit of that, and yes, the Senate sounds lovely!
Uncle Teddy has liked hanging out there for, oh, like years!
How hard could it be? As long as I just get to appear there…I could not possibly earn it! Uh, oh, that would be crude and uncouth!

dang with all her education that is the best she can do. what a clueless actually rather stupid woman.

Caroline Kennedy:

there are many ways into public life and public service

With her knowledge of the ways into public service and her experience as a best-selling author, I hope that she writes one more book for the rest of us:

Ways Into Public Service for Dummies

I’m sure we morons who would like to serve in public office can profit by her example and follow in her footsteps.

So much for an Ivy-Leaguer. I’ll be happy with my Nebraska education.

Caroline is so much like Obama in that she has her talking points. The moment she is off script, she starts stumbling. Part of that is lack of experience, but most of it is lack of depth.

So – will she be in a debate of some sort to show her ability or will she have to answer some tough questions in a competetive environment.

In a way, she is another Lizzy Dole.

And who would want someone who doesn’t have the desire to do a job being forced in to a job to be their Senator? New Yorkers, do not stand for this!!!!

This makes me think of how it would be if you tried to have a relationship with someone who doesn’t want to be in a relationship with you!

New York, we’ll pray for you!

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1208/16882.html

OH , SO TRUE

Caroline Kennedy as US Senator is even more stomach churning than what Blogojevich was doing with Obama’s empty Senate seat in Illinois and is even more stomach churning than a freshman Senator running for President on the basis of the color of his skin and HIS best selling book very likely ghost written by the privileged domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers.

If this whole scene is not corruption and decadence, what is?

Here in Washington we view Ivy as an invasive pest

WOW, so THAT is what an “ivy league” education at Columbia and Harvard get you. If I were the Kennedy’s I would demand a refund, or sue!! So let me get this straight liberal media, Caroline, who can’t even form a coherent sentence is a genius but Sarah Palin, who took on the big wigs in the oil business, took on her own party, is a successful governor of one of our largest states, is a moron just because she did not go to Harvard or Columbia?? Hey media, look at Caroline, see what happens when you go to those ivy league schools, you can’t even conjugate a sentence without sounding like a 5th grader. Damn I hate the hypocrisy from the left.

I’m getting sick of her mug on the front page of the NYT
every blasted day.
You do nothing for 51 years, then suddenly decide you’re
gonna lead the people.
There are insane asylums for people like this.

I remember Jack too. Quite a rabbit.

the only saving grace for me in all this caroline hoopla is that new yorkers aren’t all that star struck. in the next election her arse will be out the door. a repub? maybe! probably! they’ll be truly sick of kennedys by then. ole ted wants to populate the senate with his wife and neice. yeah right ted, we know how you admire women. not!

So then Caroline is out, right, troll?

And here in Tennessee, where I ended up, we kill Ivy with Tri-Ox.

The Kennedys are insanely jealous of the Clintons.
Bill actually accomplished something. JFK built a dynasty.

The content of Caroline Kennedy’s speech is, in my opinion, uninspiring, empty, repetitive, and goes nowhere. It would put me to sleep.

I think the ‘Kennedy’ brand is overrated.

Well, Caroline took the class on “Demosthenes and Public Speaking” at Harvard in order to overcome her “you know” problem, but she just couldn’t get used to talking with pebbles in her mouth. I mean, EWWWWWW!

I mean, like, who needs it, you know, when you got the Big Name?

Most New Yorkers are too young to know that they are
even supposed to be starstruck. They don’t know who she is, and
the town has more than enough rich old ladies.

So let me get this straight liberal media, Caroline, who can’t even form a coherent sentence is a genius but Sarah Palin, who took on the big wigs in the oil business, took on her own party, is a successful governor of one of our largest states, is a moron just because she did not go to Harvard or Columbia??

Stamp.

The first thing Caroline needs to do is take a class from Fran Drescher on “How to Talk New York.” But I don’t think Fran can teach her the rest . . . .

I’ve had it! I am switching over to enemy territory. Even the most insane of insane right wingers are never as utterly ridiculous as the most insane left wingers! I now am a Republican.

Thanks Obama, Pelosi, Dean, Brazile, Richardson, Kerry and even that stupid Carville!

Gov. Palin forms perfect sentences without all the uh and ums.

She’s a self made woman.

Ivy League is a crock.
Caroline is not self made. She doesn’t understand the average American. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth from her Mafia family.

Hillary returned Carolines donation when she came out and endorsed Obutthead.

Maybe so, Ferd, but what about the kudzu? I live all the way out here in California, and I here it’s coming for us. Do I lay up a supply of Tri-Ox now?

Caroline is trying to BUY that Senate seat. Isn’t it bribery to come out and endorse someone if she is ‘given’ a senate seat in exchange? And don’t think for one minute she hasn’t talked about paying cold hard cash for that seat. Now it all makes sense what happened in the primaries with all the Judases betraying our Hillary.

I thought Caroline was one of the rich, white, entitled people Obama’s friends Reverend Wright and Father Pfleger hated.

these democrats running around with their long knives, greed, and arrogance remind of the fish swimming upstream. they are following the rest not knowing it is their last great swim. the democrats had a chance to change history. even btd at talk left said that recently. what they do will tell the tale in 2010. don’t expect anything different from the folks that got us into this fix. so btd, if you ever read this, you already have your answer. hard i know but think about it.

The word is shoo not shoe.

If you are referring to any of my comments, shoe is the correct word. Otherwise, you should respond directly to the comment containing “shoe” as apposed to “shoo”.

Bellvue?

Yours is an astute comment and I hadn’t thought of it in quite those terms. I think you are correct.

If you read the Newsweek account of the Kennedy’s taking The Obama under their wing, telling him they were ‘passing the torch’ to him, and then read between the lines and overlay that with what you guys know happened with regards to Hillary and the media, I think it all starts to come into focus. Kennedy, more than Soros explains the media, and also explains Hillary’s odd complicity. One can only imagine the talks behind the woodshed – what kept her leashed and muzzled?

It wouldn’t have been Caroline’s kids, any more than it was Hillary’s gaffe that turned Ted.

God, if the story is ever truly told, it will be an amazing thing.

For sure, with a nice little room and a flowing white gown appropriate for angels, albeit with somewhat longer sleeves that go around the bodice and tie fashionably in the back.

Paterson is black. Will this AA Governor stand up to Obama and say no to Caroline’s appointment? I don’t know.

Cuomo is a threat to him. Remember, he wasn’t elected but appointed because of Spitzer’s scandal. I dont think playing the race card will help him in the primary like it did Obama. If he caves in to pressure from Obama then he doesnt deserve to be elected Governor.

Does anyone know what percentage blacks comprise in the New York primary?

Tri-Ox is the only way to kill it, oowawa. I tried everything else. The only drawback is that it kills everything.

Well, a couple of goats will keep an acre of the stuff at bay–but only at bay.

Um yeah, I know, you got bamboozled and stabbed women in the back Caroline. I know.

Ah, the old scorched-earth tactic. I like it! I’m getting sick of all that yard work anyway!

To eradicate Kudzu you need something more in the kiloton range. Home home on the range just won’t do it for you.

Is this a part of the pay for play? She endorsed him and … ??

Chelsea Clinton for Senator of NY !!!

Gotta love the Clinton’s !

I don’t much care for it, either but it beats herding goats or pulling the crap up by hand.

If you use Tri-Ox, you won’t be able to grow anything on the treated area for at least one season.

And don’t get it anywhere near anything you want to keep. It is a real killer.

I agree that the true story about Obama’s nomination will be amazing and to many people probably unbelievable. I tend to think that John Kerry is even more deeply behind Obama than Ted Kennedy and that Kerry convinced Kennedy to support Obama. And then, as you suggest, Kennedy may have used some influence in the media. I also tend to think that the Clintons used their own influence to get Hillary the Sec of State spot probably against the wishes of Kerry and Kennedy and Obama. And now Kennedy is using his dying wish to get even with the Clintons by inserting the featherweight Caroline into Hillary’s vacant spot. The picture I envision is pretty ugly.

My niece is playing an old “Bob the Builder” video game. What do you know, his motto is “yes we can”.

Of course between Othatone and Carolyn DidyouknowmylastnameisKennedy, they can’t match Bob’s maturity level.

Hey, Ferd! I’m in Nebraska, too! Go Huskers! Go Mavs!

BINGO! You nailed it! Not only was Clinton the only Dem since FDR to be re-elected but his administration was one of peace and prosperity.

JFK’s administration was unfortunately fraught with one international crisis after another. He dragged his feet on the Civil Rights act so as not to upset the Dixiecrats whose support he needed for re-election. It’s no coincidence that by 1963 we begin to see an emergence of radical and angry AA groups splintered from Dr. King and the NAACP.

I’m not so sure that had JFK lived his presidency would be fondly remembered.

“The only Kennedy left that has my respect is Robert Kennedy Jr.”

And don’t forget Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. It’s no surprise that RFK’s progeny turned out better than JFK’s (well actually I liked John John) when you compare the 2 slain brothers I believe RFK for all his faults was always the more genuine article.

But it’s true that with Ted’s coming demise it will be the end of a political era in the DNC. I can’t say that I’m sorry to see what Joe Kennedy so ruthlessly began come to its twilight.

Cubs: I went to college at Wayne State and later at NU. I have to tell you, though, I’m originally from Oklahoma–Go Big Red–OU and NU.

I’m writing long-distance [from the great State of Pennsylvania] but this CK thing really irritates me. This afternoon I heard one of the talking heads claim that Caroline was asked straight-out: if she didn’t receive the appointment would she be willing to “run” for the seat in 2010? Without missing a beat, she said, “No.”

For me, that says everything I need to hear. CK is “willing” to accept the seat if it’s handed to her. But she’s not willing to get down in the trenches and earn it, fight for it the way HRC did.

Not ready for prime time, anymore the “The One,” who I understand is already wearied by the press attention.

Poor babies!

I’m rooting for OU, too!

Concise visual (poster) on that thought:
http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/posters/65bf/

when you say near, how close are we talking about?

ferd– I’m ALMOST originally from Oklahoma….Boomer!!! I love ‘em!

I love NU but OU comes first. OU will win this one. Bradford has an eagle-eye, in keeping with his Cherokee ancestry. Florida is going down.

Boomer-Sooner.

I see CK as a person who never developed her own identity or individuated from the Kennedy’s dynasty. It’s amazing that at the age of 51 she keeps mentioning what her mother and father had to say about life that guides hers. I mean…it sounds like she ‘s remained frozen in time from when she was a teen-ager.

The way I see her, she followed her mother’s path in everything she did, in a rather traditional way: She was very, very private, shy, got married, never worked as a lawyer, and raised kids for 20 years w/out holding a real job. And now she is like an old Cinderella who wants to reclaim her shoe. She needs to realize that there are other ways to resolve a mid-life crisis or an empty nest. Grow up, Caroline!

To “run for” anything is soooooo undignified!

wow, that was painful to listen to. What kind of education these people got from their Ivy league schools? She is as bad as 0bama. Then the bots have the nerve to go after Palin. At least she has the courage to have run a campaign, draw 10s of thousands of people, and she got elected as Governor defeating an incumbent Governor and an ex-Governor. Where is the comparison between Palin and this woman? The sense of entitlement is sickening.

The difference between a genuinely smart person with an ivy league degree like Bill Clinton and empty suits like Obama and Caroline Kennedy is that Bill came from a dirt poor family in Arkansas and actually had to work his ass off to get to Yale Law. Obama and Caroline got in on affirmative action; Obama because of his father who went to Harvard and Caroline because the Kennedy clan paid for her admission into Columbia and Harvard. Those who get into ivy league schools because of connections and legacy are no smarter (and probably dumber in many aspects) than the average Joe who can’t afford to go anywhere but the local state university.

Yeah, it’s so tacky and “low-class,” the way HRC ran for office and rolled-off her sleeves, so undelicate for a Kennedy woman. 28 y/o Chelsea Clinton, w/her knowledge of policy issues and fluency of speech makes CK fail by comparison. Yes, the Kennedys resent and envy the Clintons, no doubt.

The Ivy League takes money and bestows nothing. Look at their glowing alumni such as Bush and Kerrey–and those two twirps were the last to run for high office. Now we get That One, another imposter with no record, no credibility, but an Ivy-League degree. I’m glad I graduated elsewhere.

pm317

I think she is even worse than Obama. The Kennedys’dynasty really died after Bobby Kennedy was assasinated. Ted Kennedy was the youngest child and the least bright of the family’s sons. Let’s remember that women never counted in that family. And all the descendants were never able to avoid being overshadowed by the myth of JFK and RK.

Folks come on, Caroline has the same amount of experience and as many rights to go for Hillary’s Senate seat as JFK Jr. had in taking his wife and sister-in-law on an over the ocean, radio silent dusk flight a few years ago.

Am I misssing something? Does CK mention someone dropping off signs at her HUSBAND’S office? I know she divorced that guy…is this just another politically correct move to hoist up the pretense of being a happily married wife and mother to explain why she hasn’t done a damn thing for anyone else her whole life?

It’s too bad Caroline made the decision to enter politics when she could have kept the illusion alive. She could destroy whatever legacy her parents left to her.

There was a story in a biography of Jackie, JackieO, about a deal she made with her father-in-law. It was said she wanted to divorce her husband during his presidential campaign due to his philandering and she went to Hyannis Port to speak with Joe. He agreed to provide her credit with some fashionable stores in return for her promise to forget about a divorce.

She was born into an aristocratic, but financially strapped family and was insecure about money so she agreed to the proposal. She kept the credit maxed out and would purchase designer clothes and sell them to friends.

It is a tacky story, but the ideal of Camelot always protected her. Caroline may be opening the door to revisiting the Kennedy myth and comparing it to the reality. I want to say here, Jackie was a lovely, graceful woman and it isn’t my intent judge her since taking on Joe Kennedy required courage.

However, America needs to get over the tendency to superficiality now, before it is too late. It is insanity.

I wonder what would happen if all of a sudden Lyndon Johnson’s daughters, Amy Carter, Ronny Reagan Jr. or his sister Pat Reagan, Tricia Nixon, or even some surviving descendant of Abe Lincoln or Thomas Jefferson, decided to run for office claiming, like CK, that they “carry the spirit” of their parents or ancestors. LOL

ok, i have james madison in my family history. look i’ll pack my bag in the morning and catch the first flight to ny. i’ll plan to move there like others have done. no problem! the world owes me. why and what i can’t say. if one of ya’ll please call sharpton and let’s do lunch this week. the nytimids simply must come. i’ll even call hillary and ask for her blessing which is more than the fairy tale princess did. ok, that cover it.

Agreed. Where’s all the screeching about dynasties and a sense of entitlement now?

I thought Obama supporters were against anyone gaining public office just because of their connections or their last name?

Guess not.

Stodgie

LOL, very funny! About Hillary, you’re right about CK not having asked for a blessing from her. That says something about what kind of person she may be, but it’s not surprising. She knows that she snubbed HRC big time and she would have no idea about how to deal with her face to face. CK comes across as a 18 y/o kid trapped in a 51 y/o body.

The irony here is that Americans seem to be so naive as to believe that anyone in this country makes it to the WH or Senate with zero connections to anything political.

Do they really believe you can make it there with no rich backers? (See Soros, Buffett, Murdoch, Oprah, some Kennedy’s all Obama supporters)

Heck I liked Bill’s governing style but I didn’t believe that of him or Hillary. Until McCain-Feingold is actually followed money will always be a factor in getting elected.

At least McCain kept his word and limited his financing. Obama didn’t, again.

Caroline Kennedy? Money is the least of her problems.

Why aren’t AA’s screaming about Governor Patterson being bullied into a decision by white folk? Where’s the complaining? Cries of racism?

Crickets…

That’s what I thought.

Ok, a quick (and not independently verified) analysis of the Caroline Kennedy tape here is that she said “you know” about 28 times in 2 minutes, 16 seconds. That’s about once every 5 seconds.

Then I pulled up the Sarah Palin video from youtube where she’s being interviewed while the turkeys are being slaughtered behind her. In it she said “you know” about 6 times. It could be a few more than that – she talked so fast it was hard to keep up. Lets say it was 10 times in 3 minutes 9 seconds. That averages to once every 18.9 seconds.

So if my math holds up, Caroline Kennedy says “you know” 3 times more often than Sarah Palin. But Sarah Palin is the stupid one. While Sarah might not be the intellectual of the two, she’s certainly better spoken in an off the cuff interview.

Great — “you know” uttered approximately every 4.5 seconds (on average) — Sarracuda is right, somebody should be getting a refund from the college she attended! I’m sure there’s some 51 year old who got rejected from Columbia that year who’s wondering WTF? This is who got placed instead of me?

Okay, That’s funny. Thanks.

The difference in how CK’s and Sarah Palin’s performances are being judged is that there is a clear double standard. The way MSM and many people have operated from the beginning is that CK sure MUST BE bright, articulate, accomplished, and ready to become senator, right? Just because she is the child of JFK, Ivy League graduate, blah, blah, blah…But her performance so far HASN’T shown that. I just can’t understand how w/all her money and resources she couldn’t have hired at least a speech coach to help prepare her for the interviews. So, perhaps she is not really that bright…

Saw this above and couldn’t resist …

Caroline is Kennedy kudzu.

Caroline got into Harvard as a “legacy.” Money gets you into these schools too.

Wonder how proficient Princess Caroline is on the teleprompter. Obama is miserable with out one unless it is a well rehearsed speech. She will need to come up to speed on her public speaking skills.
But we all know that the MSM will give the princess a pass here also.

Ummmm, a little OT but if anyone asks, I really want those Monty Python Killer Rabbit slippers with the great big nasty teeth…

You’re right about JFK dragging his feet on civil rights. It was LBJ who orchestrated the bill through both Houses of Congress because LBJ knew every ones secrets and he knew where all the skeletons in their closets where. LBJ, in my opinion was the only politician who could blackmail enough votes to get the Civil rights bill passed.
I also think that the Kennedys are jealous of the Clintons and wanted them out of the way so the Kennedys could return to being the only and undisputed royal political family in American politics.

Hey Cubs, my nephew plays nose guard for the Mavs. Go Big Red, go Mavs and Go Sooners!

She is such a ditz. I cannot believe this bullshit. Who told her to run? Just because she followed Obama’s orders. What a joke. She is entitled to nothing.

This is one area where I hope Obama wins the war. Those media jackals need to back off from the First Family and let them have some space. How many times have we been assaulted by stupid front page stories about the POTUS or the First Family. Remember Ford’s errant golf balls or Nancy’s china or Hillary’s Elenor Rooservelt encounter.
A republican could not fight this war but maybe Obama, their messiah, can fight for more privacy and win it for everyone who follows.

Money gets you a lot of things in the Democratic party too. Don’t matter if you are smart; just take orders. Party no longer has integrity. Run by money are rich people.

Basicallly. She will do and say anything for the seat. Uncle Teddy told her to say it. So did Obama.

stop the sexist attacks on Caroline, please.

Oops, that would be Caroline.

Elise, I remember that story as well. And let’s not forget that she (Jackie) married Ari, who had been dating her sister, Lee. Jackie Kennedy was a brave face when the nation lost her president, but, you know, the Round Table is gone, Arthur is dead, you know, and Merlin is gone, you know…

[...] American Girl in Italy says here: I haven’t heard that many *you knows* since the 80’s, like you know, fer [...]

Precisely my thought too. This was one of the biggest reasons why Caroline abandoned Hillary and supported Obama because Hillary was disrespectful to the memory of her father. The Kennedys want to claim that Jack did something great for the Blacks in America but they didn’t and Hillary pointed that out… And now Caroline is making a comeback using her Kennedy name to muscle through the appointment as a Senator.. Too bad, at this day and age where everything is wide open.. every speech, every statement and every mannerism and every detailed history of her lack of experience will be exposed because the Kennedys do not control the media anymore pretty much like the time of her father when the media concealed Jack and Bobby Kennedy’s philandering.. it is up to the people of New York to deter this ambitious wannabe.

I remember a certain Miss Universe who used that phrase quite often and she was in her 20s and English is her second language and reporters dubbed her as MIss You Know Verse…Granted that Caroline is in her 50′s and English is her mother tongue, would you expect her to speak more fluently and direct to the point rather than using the YOU KNOW VERSE? More experienced politicians and first lady Hillary Clinton speaks clearly and direct to the point and seldom if not never use the YOU KNOW VERSE.

How totally unqualified Caroline Schlossberg claiming the Senate seat of one who who worked hard for the people of New York. It is up to the people of New York to stop her nonsense.

According to a report I heard this morning, CK actually said “you know” 196 times in her 35 minute NY1 TV interview.

Well that’s only once every 11 seconds. She’s showing improvement already. That’s communication I can believe in!

yup and we need a 51y/o in an 18y/o body. dang, being a history buff i am beginning to feel like we are redoing the gilded erea.
