On Thursday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Julie Chen came to the defense of would-be New York Senator Caroline Kennedy, who has faced criticism for her lack of experience: "This is so unfair. I mean, look, the system is set up the way it's set up and Governor Paterson decides and that's it. Leave her alone, everyone." That comment followed a report by correspondent Meg Oliver, in which Kennedy avoided tough questions from the press: "She quickly got a taste of the pressure that comes with seeking a high-profile political office...questions mostly went unanswered."
Chen was not so quick to defend Sarah Palin from critics during the campaign.
Yes they did. They were shameful and souless. Now it is coming back to haunt them. I criticize Caroline Kennedy because she is NOT capable of the Senate seat. Neither was hillereee but...at any rate...there are plenty of others ahead of Ms. Kennedy that have worked hard to reach a goal of Senator. For her to walk in like it is hers is arrogant and frankly, I am very disappointed in her. She always seemed like the one with the good sense and decency in the family but...I guess not. Shame on her for not accepting there are others out there who worked hard to get things...What a disappointment she turned out to be.
Well, James L. Buckley wasn't bad. And if that's not good enough for you, there was Aaron Burr!
