Caroline Kennedy, you know, might need, you know, a speech coach, um, if she, you know, wants, um, to be a senator.
Um, you know?
Kennedy, who gave a flurry of media interviews on Friday and Saturday, revealed some cringing verbal tics that showed her inexperience as a speaker, experts told the Daily News.
In a 30-minute session with The News on Saturday, Kennedy punctuated her answers with "you know" more than 200 times. "Um" was fairly constant, too.

Any Jr. high school student ought to be better than this.
The idea that this clown could be a US Senator, depending upon the whims of Gov. Paterson, is simply appalling.
The Mediascum had better start rolling out more Sarah Palin hit-jobs, because their latest liberal darling CK cannot even express coherent sentences.
Like, ohmyGAWD!!!!
I don’t care if she is a Kennedy. She has no business in the U.S. Senate.
Don’t count on it. She’ll get the usual free pass while someone like Palin gets electronically raped by the media.
EXACTLY!! Like Bernie Goldberg said today on O’Reilly’s show, imagine if Sarah talked like that, well, the comedians would have a field day, I don’t see Barbara Walters calling Caroline Kennedy “Not informed” or hearing Joy Behar calling Caroline an “airhead” nope, those words were used to describe Sarah Palin, I am still waiting for SNL to have a skit about Caroline, I wouldn’t bet money on it cause I would lose big time
Like fer sure......CK gags me with a spoon.....she is so not bitchin.... ;)
Hey, she was a cute little child twirling and dancing in the Oval Office when daddy was pres but not now. No one remembers the little imp other than senior citizens.
little Caroline a senator, why not she’s breathing, a citizen, and over 25.
while there could be more qualified people that’s all the real qualifications for the office.
She and Barry could have a duet:
Like, um, you know, uh, you know, like, uh, you know um, uh, you know.
You're right. They still revere JFK as the second coming of Christ or, at the very least, Gaia incarnated.
They now have their new Messiah. And He will not be crossed.
Democrats are so funny. They hate organized religion but they are so eager to have someone rule over them.
Almost everyone I’ve ever known in my life would make a better US Senator than Caroline Kennedy. She’s a joke. All that she has going for her are leftist bona fides and her name.
There’s rehab for “you-know-itis”....somewhere in Midland, Texas I think, you know.
I’m waiting for Couric to interview Caroline.
i don’t think its fair to compare caroline to sarah palin to be honest. Caraoline to Bush yeah, but not Palin. Palin is pretty articulate without much “ya know”, or “ummm”
Isn’t she supposed to be a hot shot lawyer?
If you’re bored, my one cent: Caroline: Stand Down
You can say that again. If nothing else, one would think the driveby media would at least pretend to be impartial so they can appear at least somewhat relevant in years to come. Most educated people laugh at the driveby media.
Again, hey, that is the way she looked twirling in the Oval Office up on her tippy toes. A little imp. The B.H.O. kids will not be as young.
If she does interview her, she won’t ask her what she reads, or what Supreme Court Decisions she disagrees with, or anything like that. It will be questions such as “How do you think your mother would react to you being in the Senate?” and
“Do you think your Dad would be proud of you?” stuff like that, nothing remotely close to the nasty way Katie treated Sarah Palin, and when Katie looks at Caroline you will see love from Katie’s face, when Katie looked at Sarah you just saw disgust coming from Katie’s face
I get a kick out of the subtle propaganda—it’s not Kennedy, it’s Schlossberg.
Hey, great column, thanks for the link!!
I agree that if she really wants to display some political mettle she should announce for 2010 as an electoral candidate, rather than try to get appointed now. But she’ll be happy to take the sinecure if it’s handed to her by the Gov.
As for the assassinations 40+ years ago, I certainly have plenty of sympathy for any child (or anyone at all) who had to live through all that, but there ought to be a statute of limitations on sympathy related to asking to be handed a high public office 40 years later! My sympathy for the child Caroline K. does not extent to the 51 year old adult CK asking to be appointed to high office without any evident qualifications.
Never had a job.
oops, that was ‘extenD’
typing too fast....
Maybe she qualifies under the endangered species act. After all, how many women aged 51 in today’s world have never held a job? She’ll provide a unique point of view in the Senate - that of an inarticulate know-nothing. She is single-handedly ruining her father and mother’s reputation. Like, you know, Camelot.
All Kennedys seem to be required to get a degree in law, however many times they have to take the test. She apparently never actually used her degree in the real world other than to belong to the NY and DC bar associations.
I resent it.
Then ya all remember. Is she as cute now as then?
You resent what?
Hell, I don’t know...I was 16 or 17 then and could’ve cared less about politics. But I do remember where I was when her old man was shot.
SNL go get her!
you know that it is very common to be, you know uncommon
you know?
And you know Kennedy’s are not common, you know?
“No one remembers the little imp other than senior citizens.”
Hey watchit bub, you know. I’m one of those seasoned seniors who had the pleasure of voting against her daddy, ya know.
Thanks, I was thinking that I was the only one to notice this "slight" omission.
BTW Come on over to Nevada this "senior citizen" will run your a$$ off in the desert.
When you have 3 or 4 hundred million dollars, ya don’t need to work too hard on your social skills.
Like being able to talk.
IIRC she got her degree but never passed (And maybe never took) a bar exam.
She speaks about as good as she eats.
The upside is, if She's appointed, he can start a new contest, the Sorceress of Malaprop.
What’s funny is that her parents weren’t really “good-looking.” There was plenty “wrong” with both their looks, and they both took unflattering photos on many occasions. But it’s certainly true that John, Jr., was better-looking than either of his parents, and Caroline is not so good-looking as either of her parents.
Exactly. Sarah Palin's younger and she doesn't talk all stupid like that.
Ask, um, not what your, you know, country, like, you know, can um, um, do, like, for like you, ask, dude, what like, you know, you, um, can do for, like, your country, you know? Dude?
If she really wanted to show some political mettle, she’d run as Caroline Schlossberg...
bttt
The camera is amazing. Most ordinary people look pretty terrible on TV. The thing about the camera adding 20 lbs. is true. Only maybe it’s more like 50 lbs.
Short people look good in the movies and on television—maybe they seem to fit in to the environment more easily. Big people tend to look clumsy and oafish. Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson are both 5’6”, I think. Joan Crawford was 5’0”, or so, but rarely looked anything but intimidating on screen. The movie camera seems to like people with small bodies and big faces with well-defined features—big nose, strong cheekbones, strong jaw, etc. I’m sure it has a great deal to do with the absence of depth perception in film and television.
