[...] until this happened. That jibes with previous reports of other contenders grumbling that she was a sure thing and Obama’s own people telling reporters that they preferred her. Three obvious exit [...]

Only 48% of New Yorkers think she’s unqualified.
Tanya on January 19, 2009 at 6:17 PM

Wow. That’s a frightening statistic.

That means that only a little over one-half the people in that state know that she’s unqualified.

As always, I blame it on the liberal schools.

Is this really the government we deserve?
What offense have we, as a nation, committed to bring us from Washington, Jefferson, Adams & Lincoln to Carter, Clinton, and Obama? Is the cult of personality so pervasive? Are those of us who see through this so few?
Or are we the crazy ones who just need to catch up with the rest of society?
Where is the leader who will point the way and behind whom we can march, confident that they will not waver?
Finally, at what point do we decide that political solutions are not the only rational option? How long do we wait? Forever? Is the very discussion of this subject treasonous? Haven’t we had this argument before?
I know I’m not alone, but it sure feels lonely out here.

Just what the Senate needs, another privileged simpleton

To think her dad had to run for office

How times have changed

You used to have to at least buy a seat, now they are free

So Kennedy who has held no public office or ran a business or even written an Op-Ed to show what her opinion is, is now a senator? But Palin wasn’t qualified to be VP.

And nothing is said by the media? If you still scoff at the idea of “extreme” media bias, you’re a moron.

What’s scary is knowing what these folks can get away with when the media is totally in bed with them.

I usually go with the sentiment of NY1’s Inside City Hall’s contributors. Even the liberal commentators aren’t happy this will happen, especially the minorities. They are already propping up Dems to run against her in the primary in 2010. I think Rudy may step into that fray. Also, Andrew Lanza (R – Staten Island) my state senator, may take a run at it. If Jack’s kid get is, she will be 2 and out.

Trust me, a bar exam doesn’t present much challenge to a cum laude graduate of Columbia Law School. As for Ms. Kennedy’s bar membership, I won’t insult your intelligence by spoonfeeding you information that is an easily researched matter of public record.

Barack Obama – toot
Princess Caroline – toot
Al Franken – toot
Her Thighness – toot
Joe Biden – toot
Nancy Pelosi – toot
Harry Reid – toot

It’s just that there’s an element of hubris in all this current hope-mongering and that I am beginning to be a little bit afraid to think of what Wednesday morning will feel like.

Heh.

Oh, you finally noticed that, Hitch?

Its cute that you people are baffled by the notion of appointing a constitutional law scholar to the Senate.

benny shakar on January 19, 2009 at 5:32 PM

I have searched and I find no reference for her as a “constitutional law scholar”.
Please enlighten us with just a couple of scholarly papers…and to be a law scholar, I would think one would actually practice law, but since she has never passed a bar exam, that kind of limits her “scholarly” ways, doesn’t it?
But those are too difficult for you…just a paper she had written to show how “scholarly” she is…good luck on finding one.

I took an astrophysics class in college, therefore I’m a colleague of Stephen Hawking. ;)

She gets appointed, I’m going to start calling the Senate “The House of Lords”. At least that title fits.

Please, please, no.

Just no.

I know politics is showbiz for ugly people, and Wax-Man is proof positive of that, but someone this ugly (on the inside and out)? Please no.

You shouldn’t need to wait long… I’m sure the Two-Minute Hate will provide answers for you.

I had to look that up. It’s been over 35 years since I read 1984 and I’ve forgotten most of it so I think I should reread it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention again.

No doubt about it, the [political] stars are aligned so strongly in favor of Princess Caroline of Kennedy that the Guvner will likely cave. It’s astrology you can believe in.

practice law, but since she has never passed a bar exam,
right2bright on January 19, 2009 at 6:11 PM

Practice? She is already an expert why would she need to practice?
As far as passing exams goes. What part of liberal, Kennedy, democrat and MOM don’t you understand? She don’t need to pass no stinking exams like some commoner.

As cynical as we all are about politics, we’re not so cynical that we seriously believe the governor of New York’s going to appoint Caroline Kennedy to the Senate.

Oh, come on. Only 48% of New Yorkers think she's unqualified. That's practically a mandate.

Please, don’t embarrass yourself and mention the books she “wrote”, her name was borrowed for publicity…she had never taken a bar exam, she was a student and that was it…

I will have a witty retort as soon as I get email back from the hive. Until then I just don’t know what to say.
