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.

Yeah I know. And to top it off I just ran over an extension cord to my damn outside Christmas Lights clearing out snow and screwed up my snow-blower and we are supposed to get more snow this Sunday. I’ll be lucky if I can repair it myself or its off to the shop for several weeks.
Meanwhile we have a pro-Islamic socialist crook from Chicago moving in to the White House. I guess after having a lying serial sexual predator in there, nothing should surprise me anymore.
Merry Christmas.
I understand exactly how you feel.
I despise the sobs that inflicted that pos on me with every atom in my body.
It is not obama that makes me puke, nor do I hate him.
It is the stupid bastards that elected him that I despise. Without them obama would be just another turd in the Chicago political sewer.
A Merry Christmas to you also.
Well Said. Its when I hear Sean Hannity’s man in the street interview in New York and learn all about what THEY will never know about America, America's history, basic Constitutional Law, etc, that I REALLY appreciate what kind of morons have the power to cancel out our votes.
Oh well, at least there are 57 million of us, plus all the other conservatives who simply couldn't stomach a menu of John McCain, even with a Sarah Palin appetizer, and never even bothered to vote. Listening to McCain after the election attacking his fellow Republicans and refusing to endorse Palin makes me think, that in the long run, we lost the election in the primaries, not the general election.
That's her qualification: "...glamour and poignancy of her family."
