Barack, to himself, "Think she'll notice if I pick my nose?"

Politics: As the Kennedy du jour tours New York seeking Hillary's seat, will she be asked tough questions by Couric, Gibson, et al.? We'll see what Sarah's critics say about someone who's famous for being well-known.
Up to now, Kennedy's interest in New York politics has been minimal. As the Daily News has reported, she skipped about half the 38 contested elections held since she registered to vote in New York in 1988, including four Democratic primaries in mayoral elections won three times by Republicans.
She also missed voting in the race for the Senate seat she now seeks. Seems she was doing something else in 1994, when Daniel Patrick Moynihan was running for re-election.
The New York Times described her qualifications thus: "Ms. Kennedy has much going for her. As a public figure, she carries the glamour and poignancy of her family." Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post gushes that our "tragic national princess," the "Cinderella Kennedy" is "finally rewarded" for "her years of quiet dignity." First a pony, now a Senate seat.
Contrast such swooning over Caroline with the full-court press the media put on Sarah Palin. The Alaska governor's experience, interest in her state and political involvement make Caroline look like a Chihuahua next to Palin's pit bull, with or without lipstick. We doubt if Katie Couric will ask Camelot's heiress how much she spends on her wardrobe.

I was hoping that Gwyneth Paltrow wanted the seat-she’d be
our people’s princess!
Best editorial page in America, by far.
Well, OBVIOUSLY Caroline is WELL QUALIFIED to be a U.S. Senator.
Her sugar daddy is loaded
She is the daughter of that GREAT President John Kennedy.
She is the niece of Ted “The Swimmer,” the Hero of Chappaquidick
She came out very early to support the Obamamessiah against Hillary.
She is prettier than Helen Thomas.
On the OTHER Hand, Palin is MANIFESTLY unquailified for higher office.
She has merely been governor of the largest State in the Union for over two years and had executive experience as a mayor before that,
She doesn’t know what the Bush Doctrine is (does Bush know what the Bush Doctrine is?)
Her husband received - GET THIS - a drunk driving ticket only twenty plus years ago.
AND, MOST OF ALL, John McCain, her former running mate, great American, outstanding Republican, and picture of senatorial decorum, REFUSED to endorse her for President!
This country is beginning to make me sick.
The other guy next to Camelot looks like he's copping a feel on the QT...
“She is prettier than Helen Thomas.”
...marginally...
Damn good job on the color commentary, but I disagree on the 4th guy - I think he’s just constipated.
I was thinking from the back side.

Poignant Ping!!!
“Not many working moms can handle an automatic rifle, run a state and bake cookies too.”
Plus, do a TV interview (while cooking) — and all in the same day. Yes, she can.
looking at her pic, maybe she just needs a little boobjob
But he also warned me to be careful of that evil bitch, the Wicked Witch of the Left!!
CORRECTION: her real name is Caroline Onassis, her citizenship Greek!
Are you kidding? Who doesn’t know “Sarah Barracuda”? lol I’d vote for you!
Give it up, Rc. By the time little Caroline runs for President being a citizen will totally be a negative. Never mind “natural born” which will be synonymous with “evil, white, Christian, homophobic bastids who stole America from the Aztecs.”
The comparison slights Governor Palin.
My bad. I just can't get past my whiteness.
You are about to get sicker.
