“The quickest way to not get something you want is to step into somebody’s face.”

Well, that's the only way Paterson's going to be able to determine proximity.

The word is out, via Geraldine Ferraro, who feels Princess Caroline is not qualified for the job , that Sheldon Silver, the most powerful man in NY, is AGAINST her nomination. That makes it far from a done deal.

Princess Caroline has indeed been the heiress to the Kennedy fortune.

She inherited $5-10 million from Old Man Kennedy when she was born , then more when he died, more when Rose died, even more when JFK was assassinated, and even more when Jackie died. When JFK jr died, she inherited everything he ever had, and probably doubled her net worth. She is very,very rich.

She now wants to inherit the keys to the kingdom, and re=open Camelot. But the Kingmaker, Sheldon Silver, the most powerful man in NY politics, says “no way”.

NY Times is tossing her aside. Bye bye Caroline. Besides, Hillary doesn’t like Kennedys.

Leftist world is ‘backwards’ world.

They claim to fight for the poor and yet revere the rich

They fight for higher taxes and then dodge paying them

The almost always achieve the opposite of their stated goals. They want to save a bird or a snail somewhere and their fanaticism drives them to do some stupid crap that gets what they want to save killed.
Or they cause a different problem like the global food shortage with the ethanol disaster.

And they keep doing the same crap over and over and over regardless of outcome. In short they are irrational nut balls!!

You do remember how the Kennedy's work “behind” the scenes? You do remember her grand dad's real business and real partners? Silver just thinks he is powerful... but he is exposed and if he has anyone that he cares about...

The political rumor mill is saying that Ted Kennedy wants his seat to go to his wife.

Surely there are some Cuomo backers who will also get in the Gov.’s face.
NY can only be cleansed by a three-way Clinton-Kennedy-Cuomo fight to the end.

Well duh, I do believe most of the left is also worried about being near the “Kennedy Curse”.

Former, Current, Future? I thought that all Kennedy wives ever got were divorce settlements.

Current. She is an attorney (what a surprise) and is about thirty-forty years younger than Ted if memory serves.
