How does SHE look in a USA flag bikini with a rifle in her hands?

You might see Caroline in a bikini, but not one with a flag on it nor ever, ever with a firearm in her hands.

Caroline Kennedy is not qualified to be a U.S. Senator from New York but that’s not even a minor consideration. New York isn’t even a state, it’s nothing more than a political board game for liberal politicians and the Kennedy’s are simply using it to anoint a goddess. The political system in this country is a sham and has become an aberration that only serves the elitist class and other narcissistic film flam artists. It really doesn’t matter what any of us want or think we’ll be force fed whatever the ruling classes think we should eat. This once great Republic has become morally weak, pathetic and rotten in its core. The country urgently needs strong, intelligent, courageous and patriotic leaders to guide us out of this cesspool of incompetence, moral relativism and confusion lest we disappear into the abyss. Unfortunately, the probability of that occurring is near zero.

I am of the mind, rplat, that we, the American voters, have now become just like Captain Ahab of Moby Dick fame. Ahab was trapped aboard a crazed whale and taken for his last ride. He could do nothing to help his situation, the end of the ride for him would be at his death.
I see us like that because nothing we do in the voting booth makes any difference. We are captives of the crazed whale that is non-accountable government. All we can do is hang on and hope we survive.
Just my 2 cents.

As to whether Obama will campaign for Patterson or not, he will regardless of who is Senator. Obama needs whatever money is left in NYC to get reelected and he is not going to isolate the state.

Kennedy brings ZERO to the seat. What will be interesting is if we find that Rham is on the phone with Patterson trying to get Caroline her seat but still claims to have not spoken to The Black Caesar’s bff, Blago.

:o)

Gotta keep a Kennedy in there and maybe try and boost the babe factor some. Hey I said try.

We really should consider setting aside a permanent seat for the Kennedys, and I say that as someone who wants to see less of them in public life, not more. Give them their own spot, fully inheritable, to be filled by whomever the family designates, and you might just placate them enough to discourage other members of the brood from running.

I thought they already had one of those – the senior senator-for-life from Massachusetts.

BTW, the bulk of Caroline’s fortune didn’t come from grandpa Joe Kennedy. Caroline inherited most of her wealth from her mother Jackie’s estate, and Jackie’s fortune came mainly from Aristotle Onassis (a thuggish Greek shipping tycoon), whom Jackie basically sold herself to for money. The multi-milion dollar settlement Jackie received from Onassis’ estate was greatly expanded over the years thanks to the good investment advice Jackie received from her married lover, diamond merchant Maurice Tempelsman. Caroline received half of Jackie’s vast estate when Jackie died, then received the other half (minus the 10 million Caroline had to pay to the family of John Jr.’s dead wife and sister-in-law to settle the in-laws’ claims of negligent piloting) when her brother John Jr. died.

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.”

Follow the link — Rep. Ackerman’s unkind words have been deleted.

Caroline Kennedy wants a Senate seat and — as Rod Blagojevich said — a Senate seat is “a f—ing valuable thing.” …

But appointing her would be a mistake, no democrat would dare run against her in the next primary and a strong Republican will beat her especially if things continue to get worse.

But then, the Kennedy’s are just trailer trash with money. New Yorkers should call their Governor and tell him to “just say no” unless they still harbor monarch loving loyalist sympathy from the Revolution.

Now we are witnessing some of the very same people advocating that a woman waltz into a Senate seat due to her last name, which is the only reason why she is relevant. I wonder what the great Colin Powell would have to say about her readiness? We have a hundred Senators representing over 300 million people and this is their choice apparently.

I live in New York and its obvious that an overwhelming majority of people in the state don’t’ value accomplishment. After all, Hillary attained her seat for the very same reason. But everyone knows that the aborto-centric feminists will hail Clinton and Kennedy, two women made by their family as opposed to Palin, who achieved her success due to her own determination and ability.

Then there is also the prospect of her running for President at some stage. Can you imagine the media frenzy if it was Sarah Palin v Caroline Kennedy for President at some stage. It would be Caribou Barbie v Manhattan Barbie for the top job.
