Caroline (and her pony Macaroni, oops, he's dead too.) are leftovers from that marvelous, mystical Camelot

Camelot is a fairy tale that drones on and on like a never-ending Story on meth.

Uncle Prince Teddy has been bouncing around the Senate halls like he's actually accomplished something other than loading another bilious bill on the suckers he represents. He should have spent some time in prison for the shocking death of one of his supporters.

Senator Hitlery has helped turn her state into New Yarkansas and now, as governor, they have yet another blind stumblebum of a crooked politician who would pull the same crap Bloggy did if he thought he'd get away with it.

Caroline, like Obomba the president boy, will make a lousy senator, but then New Yarkansans are accustomed to pond scum ruling their lives as well as the rest of us.

Sweet Caroline, bad times never seemed so bad. So bad, so bad, so bad.

Now taking donations to get myself out of here.

Princess Carolyn throws her tiara into the ring...

I think that New York should definitely do this. It will reinforce long-held skepticism about the state’s inability to govern itself. Plus it should be really fun for us watching yet another Democrat seat-warmer make an idiot of herself.

The American political system may not be fixable. It isn't broken everywhere, but in those pockets of disease (New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and a handful of others) where it is broken, it is bad enough that the rest may not be viable.

I will also note that where the disease is systemic it is invariably liberal strongholds.

The one thing I liked about Caroline is that she stayed the hell out of politics. Well, that’s over with. I do wonder, though, if it were Teddy putting her up to it.

The OAK BEACH INN had it right years ago when local government corruption issues forced them to close..they handed out tens of thousands of bumper stickers to disgruntled patrons that said “GET OUT OF NEW YORK STATE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.”

It’s so insanely sad isn’t it? She is virtually gaurranteed to get the seat simply because of her name and connections. Experience, morality, whatever, all be damned! She is a Kennedy and she shall be the one!

It is not just NY, it is the entire body politic of the US and it involves both parties. Elected offices are now inherited or bestowed based on blood or marriage. The Kennedys, Bushs, Doles, Clintons, Bonos, Daleys, Dodds, Bayhs, etc. The list is endless. The Senate has becomee the House of Lords.

Paterson: “Ms. Kennedy, I just can’t see you in that senate seat.”

and in the mix for the open Senate seat in Ill.
is Christopher Kennedy s/o Robert and manages the Chicago Merchandise Mart, formerly owned by old Joe Kennedy

Imagine a state that has a Governor that was not elected by the people of that state, that had a Senator that never lived in that state till she ran for office, another Senator that cares nothing for anything or anyone other than his power.

Then they will give the retiring Senators seat to a women that only has as her credentials is a former President as her father and a former Senator as her Uncle.
