A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 10 Jan 2009 | John Semmens

I am not surprised. Just get it over with. FREEPERS knew that a Republican was not going to picked...or I hope they did. I was just glad that Caroline was crusified by the media at least on the talk shows and websites like Free Republic. That was kinda fun to hear finally after normally only Republicans get a the negativity.

Believable satire — what makes the source so good.

Just another turd in the toilet for N.Y.

Good luck getting the smell out!

“We shouldn’t underestimate these assets,” Paterson continued. “When it comes to elections, the Kennedy name is golden. Consider the case of her uncle Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass). Here’s a bloated sot who left a young woman to drown in an ill-fated tryst 40 years ago. Yet, he is invincible come election day.”

Well, just a real confirmation that Democrats don't want the best, they only want those that can get, and keep power.

I’ve posted it here before and I’m posting it again: What a pity the great, great, great, great Grandfather Kennedy wasn’t sterile!

[alloysteel]

We certainly need a polished, articulate and knowledgable successor to Herself, still the Cold and Joyless, to keep that seat warm for at least the next four years. By then Princess Carolin will be thoroughly bored with the job, if she bothers to show up at all.

[“She does not have much legislative experience, which is a minus.” Paterson admitted. “But she has the Kennedy name and pedigree, not to mention the millions in personal wealth that can ensure her reelection.” ]

In order for humor to work, there has to be veritas.

Assassination (twice), rape, murder (desertion in emergency), alcholism, hedonism, racketeering and bootlegging, adultery and druggery - possible murder, prostitution, drunkeness and sloth.....on and on....what a legacy for the royal family of Camelot.

“But she has the Kennedy name and pedigree"

[Venturer]

This is no joke, it is more than likely as close to the truth as the media can get.

It actually reflects well the political thoughts of Patterson who I believe never had an original thought in his head.

We will just have to wait and see who Patterson appoints.

Yes: I know it is satire, but it is so poignant.

"“She does not have much legislative experience,
which is a minus.” Paterson admitted.
“But she has the Kennedy name and pedigree,
not to mention the millions in personal wealth that can ensure her my reelection.”

There, fixed it.

[Tarpon]

Well, ya Know, she is like, dumb enough to fit right in. I am sure someone this stupid won’t want to make any foolish suggest or policy pronouncements.

Will she like ya Know, disclose her resume if appointed and ya Know, disclose her trust funds and offshore accounts?

[Diogenesis]

Man, that is too mean. Heterocephalus glabus is eloquent.

[Allegra]

What....IS that??

[user500]

Politicians are suppose to the best representatives of the people, not who has the most money. Money should not be a factor. How is someone who has inherited all her wealth, never had a job in her life, going to stand up against some of the toughest senators in the country? She is a joke. The Kennedy name is a joke.

Also, if Gov. Rod from IL is appointing based on who can put up the most money, then this Governor is doing the same thing. He should be charged and loose his job as well.

A naked mole-rat. How apropos, on a number of levels :)

[mewzilla]

...on a number of levels...

And I just thought of another: toothiness.

[Brilliant]

Paterson will at least be certain that if he picks Her Highness, there won’t be any charges of her being involved in prostitution rings.
