I think RFK Jr figures that he can run for some other spot whenever he wants to, but that this is Caroline’s best shot at a Senate seat. I think RKF wants to horde more money working for various fake non-profits and he figures it’s all the same as long as a fellow Kennedy gets the job. These noxiously self-important and entitled Kennedys make me sick. I’m not wild about Mario or Andrew Cuomo, but Andrew Cuomo certainly deserves the Senate seat more than Caroline, who just shows up at benefits and makes platitudinous speeches about her father’s legacy and her mother’s favorite freaking poems or some such nonsense. What a bunch of losers are the people who actually root for any of the disfunctional Kennedy clan.
Plus a Senator has access to lots of information about the economy and what's happening in the world -- data that would be very valuable to anybody managing large investments.
“I’m urging my cousin Caroline to take it, because I think she would be fantastic,” he says. “I sent her a note; I haven’t heard back from her. She’ll be a huge force in the Senate.”
Did the Governer ask Caroline Kennedy to take that Senate seat, or did her cousin RFK? There’s been talk that she was being considered, but who actually asked her to consider taking that seat? Did RFK just step over the Governo?
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.
