Unsurprisingly, the party that elected Sonny Bono has a problem with Senators who understand the law.

 
coco ebert [TotalFark] 2008-12-13 07:33:53 PM  
lol, I like how they put a pic of J-Lo to accompany the article.

 
hillbillypharmacist [TotalFark] 2008-12-13 07:49:20 PM  
No talent? That's probably inaccurate.

No experience? That might have more bite.

It's a bad idea to gift a seat to someone that hasn't one elections previously, oftentimes they end up losing to a better campaigner. Might go double if, say, they aren't a citizen of the state they're being appointed to.

 
Hobodeluxe [TotalFark] 2008-12-13 08:20:38 PM  
yeah I'm sure Caroline Kennedy would have no idea what being a senator would require. She's just a simple girl with simple thoughts. She struggles with what shoes to wear with what purse everyday. Probably never ventures out of her own house except to go to the store. It's not like she's a lawyer or a professional manager or civics leader or anything like that. She's more PTA material. Palin,now there's an executive with the right stuff.

I think we've learned from the last 8 years that just because you come from a political family doesn't mean you will be a good politician.

 
moothemagiccow 2008-12-13 08:57:39 PM  
"Democrat," eh?

That could be ME, dumbass. There's a few million "Democrats" out there. I also forgot what J Lo looks like.

Well, tbh Clinton herself had not one ounce of political experience other than being a first lady for 20 years.

But she turned out well...

Caroline Kennedy: The Sarah Palin of the Democrats.

At least they had the brains to just appoint her instead of putting her on display and letting constituents have a good close inspection during an election.

 
mikaloyd 2008-12-13 09:26:12 PM  
How much do senate seats in New York go for these days?

Not that it matters, the Kennedys have nothing if not money.

He wrote almost a dozen about imaginary seagulls though. We know that for sure

Wow. Some of you Farkers are really some of the biggest dumbasses on Earth. In the name of all that is holy, please refer to Wikipedia before calling her the "Sarah Palin" of the Democratic Party.

/saw her speak in San Jose last year to discuss the Profiles in Courage award.

She's not an idiot by any stretch. She's got it going on intellectually, easily surpassing most of you lot by miles.

Is she eligible to run for Senator? Definitely.
Should the job of Senator for the State of New York just be handed to her without prior experience in an elected position? Hell, no.

You dont know that yet. It is 4 years away. She hasnt drowned anyone or been assassinated like the other political Kennedys. It could still happen.

Really, so Caroline Kennedy is a liar who doesn't know what the job she's interested in actually does? Is that the path you want to take with this?

Care to prove your bullshiat hyperbole?

Unsurprisingly, the party that elected Sonny Bono Rod Blagojevich has a no problem with Senators who understand the law. are appointed based on factors other than merit.


FTFY

Is she really that bad. I mean Palin was a very special kind of bad.

Wait, you're using Bush to defend giving offices to people with no relevant experience?

I mean, I don't hate him as much as the cool kids, but I'd hardly hold him up as a good support for THAT argument, either.

So a repeat of when they decided to give it to Clinton in the first place?

THIS. Put her in and she's is the leading candidate for 2016. The Democrats are set. Besides, she's a Kennedy. She's not from that useless Bush family, her family earned their money.


Yeah, through racketeering, murder, smuggling and other mafia ventures. But the Kennedys "earned" their money.

Rich.

You act like that other party doesn't do this. Harriet Miers ring a bell? And here in Illinois, pretty much all politicians are corrupt. You just close your eyes and hope the one you picked doesn't get arrested.

 
jimmyhaha [TotalFark] 2008-12-14 12:36:18 AM  
Well, noting how little the Republican respect the United States Constitution, I can understand how they'd think a constitutional expert would be unqualified for the senate. They don't want someone to come along and blow their whole scam.

She also hasn't made deals with Iranian kidnappers or held up peace for the sake of an election. But she is a Kennedy!!! Right? Wharrgarbl.

aegean: when did we stop being a republic and became an empire?

About the time when the President told the Supreme Court to fark off... unless they had any troops to oppose him with?

Or maybe about the time we conquered Mexico, and took half of it.

Or maybe about the time we conquered Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Phillipines.

Or maybe the time we took half of Columbia and made it into a new country called Panama, so we could build a canal.

Or maybe the time we bankrolled some bussinessmen in a coup to overthrow the Kingdom of Hawaii?

Or maybe the first, or second time we occupied Guatemala, or the Dominican Republic?

Who knows?

It wasn't anytime recent, however.

There are LOTS of smart people in this country. She doesn't have nearly enough of it to deserve being put in some kind of office. (without the magical Kennedy name, of course.)

Why do you hate the import/export bussiness?
