Weekly Standard ^

[ripley]

“:)....it’s true.”

You mean to say that saying “ya know” at least six humdred times a minute is a sign of a brilliant, intellectual,
superior, Progressive genius? (ya know?)

Just asking. :)

IMHO

I actually kinda bumped into her at her prep school so many moons ago

[dennisw]

The Nipponese love this kind of shuck and jive. Kind of childish on their part but good post by you that lays it out. The reception Caroline K will get

[Dr. Ursus]

He would have needed two translators!

Japan gave us Yoko Ono. We’re giving Japan Caroline Kennedy. Now we’re even.

...she could “ya know” faster than a thousand seagulls over Tokyo bay could squawk.

[dfwgator]

Japan gave us Yoko Ono. We’re giving Japan Caroline Kennedy. Now we’re even.

Not even close.

She was rumoured to be posted to Canada but I guess if this is true Japan wins the lottery so to speak.

Somehow I picture Obama jabbing Biden in the ribs and laughingly saying “Watch this” about appointing her.
I mean a section of the world that could go to crap at any time, real quick and you send a bird brain out there.........Joke's on us again.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well theres been talk that her marriage is in trouble for awhile now so I guess she needs to get some distance between her and Schlossberg. Oh OK just make her an ammbassador to say Japan.

Of course 1raider1 would never mock someone’s speech, especially based on the color of his skin:

The President, in flawless Ebonics, said, “We shouldn’t BE TAKING...”, when he should have said,”We shouldn’t take...”,

...just hope it don’t translate into something like prune face

[MuttTheHoople]

Is it me, or did Jackie Onassis always sound dumber than a box of rocks? She had a tough life, but every time I heard her talk, I felt my IQ go down about 10 points.

"The move, which her office did not return a call about, is almost certain to thrill the Japanese, who like their American ambassadors to be superstars. Kennedy’s predecessors include luminaries like legendary Senate majority leader Mike Mansfield, former vice president Walter Mondale, former House speaker Tom Foley, and former Senate majority leader Howard Baker."

Oy vey! "Luminaries"? Yea, right.
