SNL won’t do any rip on Caroline-they’ll do a 43 minute overlong unfunny skit on Bristol Palin’s boyfriend’s mother’s drug arrest.

she’s an embarrasment

Watch your spelling!

"She's an Embarrasment," is correct; Embarrasment being an older, ancestral form, of the spelling for "Kennedy".

Given the choice, when it came to "Bobby, Teddy, and me," I chose "Nick Bob, and John: the Kingston Trio".

I broke my kids of this habbit by always saying, "No, I don't know. Please explain it to me!" every time they said it.

Judge Wapner would say that to people.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

“OK, fine..fer sure fer sure.....”

[GunsAndBibles]

“142 times? You know, that’s a lot. You know?”

A couple of months at Toastmasters will fix that right up.

But then again, you can’t fix vacuous.

Caroline Kennedy repeats 'you know' 142 times in interview

That's half as many times as Sean Hannity does per hour on his radio show. You know.

[Rastus]

She is not a comedian.. You know?

The guy was looking for differences, not similarities.

[Aliska]

Hillary has a habit of doing that, too, just not as frequently. Then I swear Obama picked it up from her, only not too often. Over the years, Hillary's speaking skills improved, just didn't like her agenda and her degrading Bush every chance she got. You can tell she despises him.

I watched a video clip of Caroline, and it was awkward and gave me cognitive dissonance or unconfortable listening to so many parentheses (I had to look up if parenthetical expression has a noun form) of you know.

I've always kind of held Caroline apart from the other libs, but was devastated when she came out so forcefully for Obama, lots of surprises there. She seems ladylike like her mother. Maybe she was actually nervous. I'm not sure why she wants to jump in the ring now; I'm guessing she's inspired by hope and change that is as chimerical as the Kennedy Kamelot :-)

She's just as qualified as anyone IMO, just wish she were on our side. I will wait and see what her positions are on various issues, expect her to pretty much toe the party line.

My First Wife showed me this this morning before we left for her biweekly investment seminar...

"...And the difference between her and Al Franken is?..."

In the words of Jack Nicholson's character in "As Good As It Gets" where he says:"You take away all accountability and reason..."

No, wait. That doesn't work either.

Why dosen't she like SPAM. I like SPAM you like SPAM, why dosen't she like SPAM.

I vote for complete airhead. Her mother gave VERY few interviews although in the pulic eye for decades. The only one I ever saw was a White House tour...Charles Collingwood presided. She appeared mildly retarded, and I thought so THAT'S why we never see her interviewed.

Jackie worked for years and years as an "editor" for some publisher in NYC. Editor indeed...

[rawcatslyentist]

She’ll never make it on talk radio. Just like AF!

I’ll take the blonde on the left, and $200.00 Gene!

Caroline: "You know."
Barrack: "Uhhhhhh."
Caroline: "You know."
Barrack: "Uhhh."
Caroline: "You know."
Barrack: "Uh."

Beavis: "You know."
Butthead: "Uhhhhhh."
Beavis: "You know."
Butthead: "Uhhh."
Beavis: "You know."
Butthead: "Uh."

only slightly less (or more) annoying that The Messiahs constant ‘um....um....um....um’ during every answer he gives which isn’t on a teleprompter.

There should be an entire website dedicated to his um’s. Maybe a shrine. Instead of chanting ‘ommmm’ at his shrine, his acolytes can chant ‘ummmmm’ to be closer to their Messiah.

[dbacks]

And Gov. Palin is a lightweight?

Sheeeesh

Well, there went her shot at glory. I bet unkateddy is soooooo proud!

[DieHard the Hunter]

> LOL—Part of the difficulty in being a Kennedy is that you’re too good for something like, say, your local Toastmasters club!

or the local AA.

[9YearLurker]

Ha!
