For people who think there's no cultural divide in the country, consider the treatment of two women much in the news in 2008. The first is Gov. Sarah palin. A woman from very humble roots and with a very blue collar life story. She got involved in the PTA, became mayor, and then rose by dint of her dedication and fearlessness to the job of governor. The full fury of the liberal establishment came down on her with a vengeance usually reserved for klansmen and pedophiles. Then there's Caroline Kennedy, daughter of John F. Kennedy. A multimillionaire from birth, she's spent most of her life on the charity-benefit and cotillion circuit. Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post devoted two columns to this "fairy tale" scenario in which Kennedy, our "tragic national princess" is finally rewarded with the Senate seat once held by her uncle Bobby. What's astounding about Marcus' case is that she really doesn't make one! It's all schoolgirl gushing.

The msm continues to ridicule Sarah Palin.
They are relentless in their attacks.
I pray for her and her family. The recent arson at her church is more than a bit worrisome.
I see the media as that "authority figure," the "popular mind" as that child. The popular mind is in a constant state of longing for the media to pronounce its satisfaction; dread of its dissatisfaction. The popular mind can't resut until the media says it can. And if the popular mind suffers abuse in the process of arriving at the passing of the media's expressions of turmoil, it will endure it.
Until some breaking point...
Princess Caroline takes her rightful place in the House of Lords.
Appoint her. Let’s get the Dems to do as mupid things as possible....

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
Of course the media will scrutinize Rose Kennedy Schlossburg, Caroline's daughter, the same way the Palin kids were./sarc
One reason(of many) for the Kennedy kid gloves at NYT...

Pinch you naughty boy!!
What a lovely vase in the second photo! /Sarc.
Those appointments are lifetime. Keep Fraua Schlossberg out of the Senate.
Sarah Palin earned what she got. Huge difference. But Sweet Caroline will never get it.

So true.. But to look around FR one would think the MSM is on a deathwatch.
Will the weight of her past promote her to be the Senior Senator from New Yawk?

... "Friends Say Kennedy Has Long Wanted Public Role", Anne Kornblut assured readers in an in-depth Washington Post tongue-bath.She hasnt "long wanted" it to the extent of, you know, running for dog catcher in Lackawanna and getting whats the word? "elected", but, if you have a spare Senate seat, shes graciously indicated that shed be prepared to consider accepting it...
A perfect example of why the ordinary person of accomplishment won’t consider public office. They won’t put up with the cheap shoots directed at them. Public office is reserved for mediocrities whose only interest is in getting elected, and multimillionaires who want to buy an office.
I’m a proud member.
Just think about the average. What use have they for you?
Forget about your silly whim.
It doesn't fit the plan.
