During her 22 month tenure as fundraiser for the NYC School System Ms Kennedy rarely showed up to her workspace and did little to raise funds, she was a figurehead whose job it was to ad "star power" to the efforts of others:

Change for hope we can believe in. It's all for show, so what's the problem?

I didn’t know the NYC school system was a charitable institution that had fundraisers. Guess you learn something every day.

I stated in an earlier post that Kennedy’s don’t do fund raiser’s, they lend them their name, show up for the perfunctory photo-op and sit back and let others do the work.

I watched this personally one day at a special Olympics event in Washington DC. The kids were there doing their thing, trying their hardest, when of a sudden things stopped: Ted Kennedy and the Shriver woman arrived,they came in and hugged the kids while the camera’s clicked
and 15 minutes later they were gone. Like a quick gust of wind.

Others do the work, they take the credit.

In fact that is pretty much what a Senator does. Their staff does the work they merely meet and greet and live off the fat of Capitol Hill politics.
