So am I. Alas, my last name isn’t ‘Kennedy.’
Who cares? Just another lib.
When are New Yorkers going to grow tired of having token boutique Senate representation?
Is she divorced or does she just always use the last name as Kennedy?
Ultra liberal replacing an ultraliberal in ultraliberal NY, go figure. ;-)
Still married to Edwin Schlossberg, usually goes by “Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg”.
It’s really not fair- all the Kennedy women really got the short end of the stick when it came to looks. I’m not exactly sure what qualifies her to be a Senator, though. I know she got married- and that’s about it.
From Wikipedia:
"Although she is often referred to as Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, she actually kept her birth name after her marriage."
God! There is no end to this Kennedy legacy!
The Titanic hit a Schossberg or was the Teddy was sloshed well it was some kinda berg oh well time for me to go to bed after my evening meds
The Kennedy’s vs. The Coumos, this should be good.
What qualified Hitlary to be a senator from NY other than name recognition?
If these libs love using their middle names so much then they should love Obama's middle name.
Yet the Drive-Bys crucify Sarah Palin who has political experience.
Will Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric be quizzing this sorry trio?
Where does she live right now? I thought it was Jersey.
“I’m not exactly sure what qualifies her to be a Senator, “
Everything she knows about politics she learned at her father’s knee.
Kennedys and Clintons. God’s curse on America.
Obamas Allahs cures on America
I agree...
I found this on her. So this qualifies her to be my senator?
The madness will not end in this state.
Caroline, the daughter of John F. and Jacqueline Kennedy, was born in New York while her father was serving as a senator from Massachusetts. Just three years old when her father became president, she was famous for riding a pony on the White House lawn. After President Kennedy’s assassination, the family moved to New York City where Caroline attended a private school. While at the Concord Academy in Massachusetts, she developed an interest in film and photography and worked on a documentary about coal miners in Tennessee. At Harvard she majored in fine arts, and during the summers her uncle Ted insisted she work in his senate office. She interned at the New York Daily News and in 1977, she attended and wrote an article about Elvis Presley’s funeral for Rolling Stone. After Harvard, she worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she met her husband, Edwin Schlossberg, an avant-garde artist and designer. In 1988, the same year she graduated from Columbia Law School, she gave birth to the first of three children, Rose, Tatiana, and John.
Kennedy has written a number of books. She and her law school friend, Ellen Alderman, wrote a book about the Bill of Rights, In Our Defense, in 1990. In 1995, they collaborated on The Right to Privacy. In 2001, she selected The Best-Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy and in 2002, she was inspired by her father’s book and wrote Profiles in Courage for Our Time. A Patriot’s Handbook: Songs, Poems, Stories and Speeches Celebrating the Land We Love was published in the spring of 2003.
She helped found the Profile in Courage Awards in 1989, designed to honor politically brave public officials. After her mother’s death in 1994, Caroline, who had shied away from public life, became more visible in the cultural and charitable arenas. As well as becoming honorable chairwoman of the New York City Ballet, she joined the Board of the Citizens Committee for New York City, an organization supporting volunteer service, and took over the presidency of the Kennedy Library Foundation in Boston. She addressed the 2000 Democratic Convention, but public service rather than political office seems to be her goal. In 2002 she accepted a post with the New York City Department of Education, in charge of garnering private-sector aid for public schools.
