For Kennedys, working your way to the top is the route for suckers; starting at the top, that is more like it--the Kennedy Way. The Kennedy Way allowed Ted Kennedy to avoid gainful employment, save for a stint in the U.S. Army, before becoming a U.S. senator. Now it pushes Caroline Kennedy to cut the line of public servants in her power grab to become a U.S. senator from New York. Read my article at the American Spectator on why a hereditary claim to a political office in New York should offend democratic sensibilities as much as a monetary claim to a political office in Illinois.
Come on. Now you're getting crazy. Do you really expect that a high level government position should require the placeholder to face the electorate that they will claim to represent? Where have you been!
Not in 2008 America. It appears that we're doling out honorary positions now.
You can buy, cheat or steal your way into power brokering via a sweet, no heavy lifting, public office job with having zero qualifications.
Can you say, "America: Banana Republic"?
“when the incoming president pressured the governor of Massachusetts to award his Senate seat to his Harvard roommate as a placeholder until brother Ted met the Constitution's age requirements”.
I wonder if way back then they insisted on a hard copy of one’s original birth certificate to confirm the age requirement in order to conform to the rules of the Constitution.
Phew. Am I glad this country has evolved beyond that kind of petty foolishness.
Good segments on Carr today.
Check out the 'R' rated picture of the Princess from his website Fat Boy.
Why is Princess Caroline kissing the p-stained ring of the "Reverend" Al Sharpton?
What is f'ing wrong with these people? Warped.
It may not stop at her request for a key to the Senate washroom. http://www.borowitzreport.com/article.aspx?ID=6970
What else do these people have going for them other than boredom and ego? Caroline Schlossberg "KENNEDY" is just one underwearless crotch shot and amateur porn movie away from being Paris Hilton.
It's bad enough that the corrupt used car salesman empty suit from Illinois was man of the year but the audacity of the Princess to lobby for it and practically demand it for contributing zero to anything is astounding.
Edwards was right. There are two Americas: the mindless liberal elite and those who follow on their coattails, and the rest of us.
I have no idea how Teddy sleeps at night,after living such a dishonorable life.
He routinely bloviates about having a conscience,I have always wondered did he gain that trait before or after he allowed a young woman to drown,while being the weak coward he has been since birth, swam off to save his own putrid self. Did he gain a conscience after enabling Marxists to kill a few million people in southeast asia,as well as central America?
This man is a real ilghtweight,who would never be capable of landing any type of meaningful job in the real world,if he didn't have the good fortune of being born into his family. He sure as hell hasn't earned anything on his own merits.
This man has no conscience or regard for anything other than himself and power. The man has made a life out of destroying others.
