She divorced and hooked up with Bruta.

The GOP should let Tom Golisano have the GOP nomination. He could beat her.

Thank God no RFK Jr. Please God, no Andrew Cuomo.

As for Jackie Kennedy, she spearheaded the drive to save Grand Central Terminal, and won. I will be eternally grateful and indebted to her, and hold her memory in reverent esteem, for all her efforts in this regard.

"okay so the party that constantly complained that Sarah Palin didn’t have enough experience is sendind someone to the seanate with zip-zero-zilch experience."

There is voluminous proof that there is no need for either experience or brain power to occupy a seat in the Senate. Booby Casey, my very own Senator from PA, is testament to that. Name brand like Kennedy, Casey, etc. is much more important than anything of substance.

Since when is being a Senator a real job?

What do you know, a smart Kennedy, he actually turned it down.

I, too, am grateful to Jackie O for saving Grand Central. I don't even have anything against Caroline Kennedy. But RFK Jr and Kerry Kennedy are bad people. I don't care for Andrew Cuomo, but it makes much more sense for him to be Senator than for Caroline Kennedy.

"I’m urging my cousin Caroline to take it"

Unbelieveable, he doesn't actually believe that Gov. Patterson could decide upon anyone else? He speaks as though it's his for the having if he wants it, and if he doesn't want it then it's there for Caroline, and if she doesn't want it then the Gov. can choose Andrew Cuomo or someone else?!!

Of course, it could be that he already got that word from the Gov., but otherwise it sure does seem presumptuous, even for a Kennedy.

[Enchante]

Maybe he’s sufficiently self-aware to know just how stooopid he really is. Every time I’ve had to listen to RFK, Jr. on tv I think people should have to bang their foreheads against the wall about 200 times before they can be allowed to listen to him. Maybe once the brain is sufficiently damaged it is possible to take him seriously, but most of the time it’s just painful to hear him speak about his fanatical environmental b.s.

Well it is rather nice that we are spared from having that useless idiot in Washington.

“Since when is being a Senator a real job?”

I was being charitable.
