As for you Smitty, Ted Stevens was quite experienced, and that sure turned out great...

Not like I'm too worked up about it, New York will pick who they pick, and that's the way it goes. I just hope the new senator doesn't hop on the "Video games are murder simulators" bandwagon.

That was so farking stupid...

No princess, you can't ride the previous generation of your family's coattails. Not yours.

but..but..but...she's a friend of Pres-Elect Obama!

So neither had any practical experience whatsoever but it's the Kennedy that's the inexperienced one?

Clueless arrogant whore.

Makes me want to vomit.

As opposed to the other clueless arrogant whore she is replacing. Or the corrupt mafia-linked asshole she replaced, or was it the drunk guy? I forget.

Anyone else get the impression that Gov. Patterson is taking so long because he's trying to figure out how to break the news to her?

Twice as inexperienced as opposed to who?

If I remember correctly the U.S. of America is still a republic.

So if she gets appointed, don't vote for her in 1 year and 10 months from now.

So one half of zero is?

Having not really kept up with the whole NY senator situation, is Kennedy really less qualified than the average first-term senator?

Like Americans demand experience. We make American Idol number one for a reason.

We get what we deserve. Nay, what we demand. In politics, and music.

She's sort of right... people wouldn't be biatching about her lack of experience so much if she weren't a Kennedy. It's easy to cry nepotism. Never mind Bush and Hillary Clinton only getting elected because of their names... those are completely different. Right?

She has no business being a Senator. She's not a community organizer or a comedian.

"half as experienced" would make more sense since Hillary is fairly experienced.

Caroline Kennedy emerged from weeks of near-silence Friday about her bid for a Senate seat by saying that after a lifetime of closely guarded privacy, she felt compelled to answer the call to service issued by her father a generation ago.

She said two events shaped her decision to ask Gov. David Paterson 11 days ago to consider her for the position if Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is confirmed as secretary of state: the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and her work for Barack Obama's presidential campaign.

Is Rudi G. her senate seat campaign manager ?

NYZooMan: Clueless arrogant whore.

Makes me want to vomit.

Which NY democrat are you advocating instead?

Kennedy wants in to the family business of politics, saying she would give "200 percent."

How much is 200% from someone who has never worked a day in her life?

bronyaur1: NYZooMan: Clueless arrogant whore.

Which NY democrat are you advocating instead?

The one who is actually a Republican.

NYZooMan is a well-established

who hates anyone and anyone who doesn't help "his team."

I don't know shiat about Ms. Kennedy, but then I already mentioned it's a bit out of my purview.

attackingpencil: Having not really kept up with the whole NY senator situation, is Kennedy really less qualified than the average first-term senator?

First term Senator? Like Pres-Elect Obama?

I don't think she has the right temperament for the job of Senator. She's timid and has been so all her adult life. That reticence might be understandable, given the fact that she's been in the media glare all of her life, but it's not the right personality type to suddenly become a politician on such a grand scale. It just smacks of noblesse oblige and entitlement.

Or, maybe I just find Kennedys irritating. I live in Maryland, and her cousins Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and Mark Shriver both spend decades trying to win public office here. They were both far more qualified than Caroline, but I still found them to be too arrogant to be able to focus strictly on their qualifications, or lack thereof.

vabeard: attackingpencil: Having not really kept up with the whole NY senator situation, is Kennedy really less qualified than the average first-term senator?

First term Senator? Like Pres-Elect Obama?

Well, he was a state senator at least so he would seem to have been more experienced then Kennedy. I'm just wondering if compared to other senators (say Hillary or Franken or whoever) is she significantly less qualified). Basically, would she automatically be the least experienced senator? If not, I don't really see the problem aside from people being pissed about the whole Kennedy thing. But on that note, a good chunk of our public officials have been elected on name recognition from Hillary to Arnold in CA to Bush to Sonny Bono. Plus, if she sucks they can just get rid of her in the primary in 2010.

bronyaur1: NYZooMan: Clueless arrogant whore.

Maloney and Cuomo are both qualified.

I'll take either. But NOT that entitled precious camelot princess who is too blazingly clueless and arrogant to even realize why she shouldn't be granted Teddy's wish.

Paterson can see the shuck and jive that's going on. The "furor" around Caroline Kennedy seeking the seat is astroturfing from Cuomo (with, of course, backing from Republicans who are terrified of her.)

Shuck
and
Jive.

At least Caroline has the guts to openly seek the seat and not hide behind columnists and bloggers like Racist Andy.

TheBigJerk: She ain't bad lookin'

"It was something I always thought about and I thought one day, not now, but one day and this opportunity came around that somewhat unexpected and I thought well maybe now."

She could be a beauty queen.

"It was something I always thought about and I thought one day, not now, but one day and this opportunity came around that somewhat unexpected and I thought well maybe now."

That's also not what she said.

I didn't hear the recording of the first part, but the last part is "When this opportunity came around, which was sort of unexpected, I thought, well, maybe now."

It's not the best grammar but it's certainly not the gibberish that the monkey who published the article typed. It's a local TV package so it's not really meant for Internet consumption. The person who typed the article out is probably neither a journalist nor a transcriber.

But it is sort of unfair to judge Caroline Kennedy based on the poor transcription skills of some intern at a local TV news outfit.

(And if this is the transcript as presented by the AP, they need to hire better transcribers.)

TheBigJerk: I just hope the new senator doesn't hop on the "Video games are murder simulators" bandwagon.


Clearly you are a monster who obviously DOES NOT THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

You know, she apparently has a degree from Columbia Law. What kind of experience are people looking for anyway? Where does one obtain experience to be a senator?

*shrug* I don't really care one way or the other.

Remove all Republicans: Anarchofascist: But it is sort of unfair to judge Caroline Kennedy based on the poor transcription skills of some intern at a local TV news outfit.

THIS. After the party that gave us "I can see Russia from my house", they can't complain about Caroline.

LOL, that's what Tina Fey said, not Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin did say:

It's a fungible commodity and they don't flag the molecules where it's going and where it's not. In the sense of the Congress today they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So that I believe that what Congress is going to do also is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans who get stuck holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It's got to flow into the domestic markets first.

and

We have trade missions back and forth, we do. It's very important when you consider even national-security issues with Russia. As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right next to, they are right next to our state.

Considering Hillary and Obama jumped on that, good luck.

Between that and the Gores trying to ban rock and rap, we are farked.

I can't believe anybody who voted for Hillary Clinton for this seat the first time she ran, who not only did not have any experience in elected office, but had never even lived in the damn state, could complain about Kennedy's experience with a straight face. Because this is a joke right? And Do you think Cuomo would be where he is without his Dad? I'm not saying I like the idea of coronating Kennedy based on family ties or that folks in New York should ignore her experience level, but to act like this is something new in New York Politics just so you can bash on Caroline Kennedy is farking ridiculous. And the reason Republicans are so up in arms about this is they know she could be the next big star for the Democratic Party read to run for President in 8 years if she gets this seat. If you're a Democrat do yourself a favor and support her in this seat. Anybody who upsets Republicans like this without even taking office is certainly somebody who is doing something right and has traits that scares the shiat out of them.

Watching a few liberals defend Caroline Kennedy in one breath, while speaking of change in the breath is hilarious and almost makes our demise worth it.

Jealousy is so ugly to see. I'm sorry to tell you this but some people are just born to lead, and the Kennedys are those people. True American royalty.

They are born to lead people off of bridges and leave them for dead. They do remind me of royalty: the Saudi Royal Family.

you rant like it is dec 2007 all over again. hil didn't have expereince as a member of the house, but did have experience in a role so close to her husband. caroline has neither expereince nor being near expereince in a daily manner. caroline kenndedy is only bringing her last name to the table and some non-profit experience.

caroline kennedy will be a joke as a senator, and ny will suffer.

At four in the morning you can find him making glue
In the back hall near his guinea pig zoo

But because blood is thicker than water"

McCain lost. You have no valid criticisms of this administration and you're just talking sh*t.
