Helen Thomas: Give Caroline Kennedy a chance

WASHINGTON -- What's in a name? Plenty if it's Kennedy.

Caroline Kennedy is seeking appointment to the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., if -- as expected-- Clinton is confirmed as secretary of state in President-elect Barack Obama's Cabinet.

Both Kennedy and Clinton have lived in the White House.

Both Kennedy and Clinton have lived in the White House.

Except Caroline was maybe 4 years old at the time and lived there for 3 years, Hillary ran the place for 8 years.

I’m sure Helen Thomas said the same thing about Sarah Palin. Oh wait...that’s right she only likes pro-terrorist candidates.

Helen,
I'll give you a consonant and a vowel and you can fill in the blanks.

Ready?

How about the same chace Palin got? Would you like that Helen?

By the way Helen, did you ever find out who killed Vince Foster? After all you said it on LIVE TV that you thought he was murdered “right there in the white house”- any follow up on that minor story Helen?
