Caroline Kennedy Makes Case for Senate Opening
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 3 Jan 2009 | John Semmens

Posted on 01/04/2009 5:28:54 PM PST by John Semmens

Caroline Kennedy, daughter of former president John Kennedy claims that her family’s experience and sacrifice makes her the best qualified candidate to fill the New York senate seat that will be vacated when Senator Hillary Clinton (D) leaves to become Secretary of State in the Obama Administration.

“My father fought in World War II and was assassinated while president,” Kennedy pointed out. “My uncle Bobby was shot to death while on the verge of becoming president. My uncle Ted narrowly escaped drowning while trying to rescue a young woman, sacrificing his presidential aspirations in the process. The Kennedy family has given so much to this country that the least the American people can do for me is to award me one measly senate seat.”

Wow! What a big liar. I can't believe she said this with a straight face. It looks like she does have what it takes to replace Hillary.

An important fact not mentioned was that her pony was named Macaroni.

Classic liberal. Outcome is of no consequence, it’s the thought that matters. Doesn’t matter that she has absolutely NO skills needed to be a senator, just that her intentions are good.

One of the biggest differences I’ve noticed over the years is that liberals judge a project by its intentions, conservatives by its outcome. Liberals love to meet and plan, then it’s on to the next project. They never revisit prior projects to see what did, and didn’t work. Come to think of it though, I can’t remember a single thing they ever did that worked, either as planned or even by mistake.

Satire.

Thank you. I just read the body, not the source. It really did sound like something she would say. And for the record, I am a dudette.

Here's a pic of Ted the Swimmer recounting the tale of his valiant attempted rescue of Miss Kopechne:

In this Banana Republic you cannot deny a Kennedy, even if this ‘Kennedy’ is actually Onassis!

“My uncle Ted narrowly escaped drowning while trying to rescue a young woman, sacrificing his presidential aspirations in the process.”

HOLY S**T!!! That is the biggest whopper she’s pulled yet! That aside, the sense of entitlement she conveys in these statements alone disqualify her on personal grounds.

Hehe. After all, Jack said “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country, but once you do for your country, make sure you get the proper payback”. Also, Caroline forgot to mention the sacrifice the Kennedy boys made of Marilyn Monroe - that's probably worth two measly senate seats!

Can you see this unfold.

Hillary nominated for SOS.

Hillary resigns NY Senate seat.

Caroline Kennedy appointed to vacant Senate seat by NY Governor.

Hillary barred from taking office.

Hillary moves in with Bill.

Wouldn’t that be just peachy!

The writer of the posted article, John Semens is not quoting Caroline precisely. In the title of the article, he indicates that it is a satire, so he’s only trying to poke fun at her.

C'mon, Clintonfatigued, Caroline Kennedy may not be the brightest bulb in the package, but she's not dumb enough to say that stuff about Uncle Teddie (at least not publicly) that was quoted in the article.

The author of the article, Johm Semens, clearly indicated that it was a satire.

Whoops! I missed that part. I suppose I believed it because it’s the kind of thing she would say if her guard was down.
