What has she done in her career? Does she have the experience to govern? Isn’t she just a name and a pretty face in expensive clothes? All questions asked by Democrats (I’m being nice) regarding Sarah Palin as McCain’s pick for Vice President.
But Caroline Kennedy isn’t put under the same kind of scrutiny.
Apparently, qualifications don’t matter to the left as long as you don’t hunt moose.
One this is certain: if Kennedy’s last name were Palin she wouldn’t be anointed.
I’m curious if she’ll sit down with some prominent Big Apple media fixtures like Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric and subject herself to their murder boards.
Obama is certainly pushing for his ally, no doubt. It could only benefit him to have a high-profile advocate on the Hill and Kennedy will certainly be more malleable than Clinton.
And what about this concept of change? The Kennedy family is an institution. They’ve been around for decades and have been consistently plagued by scandal and drama. Hardly what I’d call a new viewpoint.
As Kennedy travels around the state of New York, not saying much and refusing to answer questions about her lack of experience, I suspect there would be some stuttering and stammering in her responses but she’d hardly be called a fool as Palin was.
We always knew the Democrats had a double standard. They nominated the most inexperienced candidate in nearly a century to run for president, while they sought to destroy the Republican nominee for vice president because she wasn’t elitist or experienced enough.
What they need to learn is that stature is not a substitute for substance, even in New York. But apparently, qualifications don’t matter to the left as long as you don’t hunt moose.

Cinderella vs. the Barracuda
by Jonah Goldberg
“Isn’t she just a name and a pretty face”
Carolyn Kennedy . . . pretty? Are you kidding? Please . . . She’s got Chelsea beat (but what wouldn’t?), but please . . .
I will say that both she and our Kenyan-born, baby killing POTUS-elect have about the same experience . . .
If Kennedy was conservative we would be hearing about “deep concerns over experience” in the drive bys and possible misappropriation of funds in New York. Liberals are gangsters.
Comparing Caroline Kennedy to Cinderella is an insult to Cinderella.
The two have little in common. Caroline Kennedy has always been priveledged. Cinderella was treated poorly by her stepmother and stepsisters.
“If Caroline’s Last Name Was Palin”.......
Regardless of her last name,if she was conservative, pro-life and Christian she would dimissed without a second thought............only liberals dems need apply
HA! That’s just what I thought when I read that first paragraph. Those Kennedy woman are NOT pretty. Caroline and her cousin, chisel-chin Maria Shriver Schwarzenegger are 2 very homely chicks. Maybe it’s me. Anybody?
Plus, the Kennedy money is all ill-gotten. Dirty money.
the Dow would be over 10,000 and a few more Klansmen and pedophiles would be out of work if Palin was VP now.

Leave Caroline Onassis alone!
Why not? They'll swoon over her and ask her "just how big did that Oval Office seem when you were playing in there with John-John? Do you hope to sit in that chair like your father did???" They won't get tough on her in any fashion.
How about we stop calling them Senators and start calling them Dukes and Duchesses? Let the title reflect the reality.
OOOOOO, I think I know what demographic they are courting with this selection.
Or a hair appointment.
Or a clue.
“Caroline Kennedy” & “Career”: a name & word that I never thought that I’d see in the same sentence. Who knew?
