Caroline Kennedy, you know, Can't Speak English
UK Telegraph/Yidwithlid ^ | 12/29/08 | Yidwithlid

Posted on 12/29/2008 8:42:05 PM PST by Shellybenoit

In fairness before I go on, I have asked Governor Paterson to select me as the next senator from NY.

During her weekend barrage of interviews, Caroline Kennedy proved that she does not know how to handle the press, nor does she have a firm grasp of the issues.

I don't mean to disparage someone who went to Harvard (because of family connections) or wrote two books (via a ghost writer) but there is something strange about having a US Senator that says YOU KNOW 142 times during an interview.

Shouldn't a Senator have command of the English language?

I’d love to see a debate between Hillary Clinton and Caroline Schlossberg. Points deducted for each “ya know”. They’d both be in negative territory.

I decided to end the list before “Mime” (picture Marcel Marceau with painted face, beret, black/white striped shirt and performing accentuated moon walk).

Hillary is a big Ya Know comment maker too.

Ya Know the first time I saw Caroline up on a stage backing Obama I instantly thought what is she going to want out of this whole deal.

Now I know.

You KNOW you’ve screwed up when you are a Democrat and the MSM is criticizing you.

I guess it’s time to change the name again, eh, Owl_Eagle.

What's your problem? Stop acting like a troll looking for a pissing contest.

“I lost faith in Ms. Slossberg when she said she could see Russia from Harvard.”

Your statement should become a conservative staple (interchanging the name & school, of course).

Tit for tat. If you’re gonna give, prepare to take. Every FReeper knows that. I did not realize you were elected Keeper Of The Piece.

The FReeper couldn’t answer a simple question. Instead, returned with a volley.

“Stop acting like a troll looking for a pissing contest.”

The straight forward question was pretty simple, mam. Now, if you’ll pardon my frankness, go ref some other contest.

Another messed up source. This is not from the Telegraph UK.

It’s from a blog with no relation to the Telegraph.

And this effort in trying to cover your Beavis with that cheap attempt at suggesting everyone’s on your side, “...everyone else got it”, is go juvenile your mother should punish you a time-out.

Look, if this is the adolescent ramblings you're going to post every time you make a fool of yourself, please refrain from pinging me.

This isn't myspace, it's FreeRepublic, maybe you belong here, maybe you don't, but please stop pestering the adults when your feelings are hurt.

“...adolescent ramblings....”

I’ve seen better comebacks from the American Motors PACER and Rocky VI.

“please refrain from pinging me.”

Looks like we’ve struck a nerve. You flatter yourself. I did not “Ping” you. I replied to your post.

I now understand how your game works. You can call me a fool, and condescend in calling me your “little buddy” after being asked an elementary question, but we can’t trade insults.

“This isn’t myspace, it’s FreeRepublic, maybe you belong here, maybe you don’t, but please stop pestering the adults when your feelings are hurt.”

Allow me to guess; you were the Hall Monitor in school, yes? The JPO perhaps?

There is a bloomin’ good reason why it’s FREERepublic. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out. In other words, if your feelings are hurt, Cowboy up, or get off the ride. In fact, here’s a better solution. Simply answer the question, or give an inkling of some sarcasm in your post. I assure you that had I detected any trace of sardonic humor, I wouldn’t have asked the question.

Did she actually say those words?

Let's say that she did.

At least Caroline Kennedy LIVED in New York before running for its senate seat.

She also lived in New York before commanding the first manned mission to Mars.

But she may never do either.

Kind of like saying uh, um, uh, um all the time without the teleprompter. But of course we don't know anyone that does that. /sarc

If Caroline Kennedy said that, “...I can see Russia from Harvard” she’d be:

1. a comedian delivering jokes in the corner of some obscure hip “cafe’” in Amsterdam (I would imagine that people who smoke hash laugh at anything from spilled milk to a water spot on their bong).

2. a PR disaster.

3. The Prima Donna of the Highest Order

4. an elitist egoist whom wishes to deliver the poor people of New York from themselves.

You mean like this?
Sarah Palin never said she could see Alaska from her house (back yard, etc.) so why should it matter now?

I can't believe that response got you so bent out of shape, so it's obvious that it's your embarrassment over posting your original question.

Continuing to post your sophomoric comebacks isn't going to salve your feelings.

For your own sake, just let it drop.
