Let’s see, how much pay-to-play was involved...?

Son of a B——!!!

I left a shoebox full of fifties in a hollowed out tree in Central Park, and a folder full of compromising photos of me (stamped out in Braille) in that bus station locker, just like Patterson asked me to.

What the heck is this all about???

My guess is Obama has been leaning heavily on Gov. Paterson to appoint Caroline. The support of Uncle Ted early on in the campaign was a boost to the Chosen One, and now Obama is repaying the debt to the Kennedy family.

...and, you know, we're supposed to be, like...you know....surprised by this...

Stupid, incoherent liberal bitch

This is so incredibly frustrating on so many levels. Not the least of which, is with respect to competency and the suspicious eye (or what should be) of the media.

Despite Sarah Palin's somewhat rough showing with a handful of hostile interviews, she was/is unquestionably more qualified for elected office than Caroline Kennedy. Of course, everyone knows what the MSM reaction was to Gov. Palin. But, there has been ZERO critical comments coming from ANY Big Media outlets with regard to Caroline dubious qualifications to hold such a powerful and important position.

This is going to be a long, long four years. Barack Obama will be able to get away with anything.

What a great country! One can become a Senator without a single vote by the people and no experience, just a name from a dysfunctional family. (of course this is sarcasm)

[Tanniker Smith]

Congratulations Senator Pete King!

[jagusafr]

Why let competence interfere with patronage, I always say...

[Tanniker Smith]

Oh, and Congratulations Gov. Cuomo!

Paterson's choice will serve until 2010, when voters will choose someone to fill the remainder of Clinton's term who is actually qualified.

Fixed.

[a real Sheila]

Are there NO experienced Dems in that state who wanted that seat?

This just pisses me off greatly.
