Do it for Teddy
Based on the sheer fog and incoherence I’ve heard coming out of her mouth in interviews, naming her might be good for Republicans when it comes time to run someone against her in ‘10.
But, but, but, what happened to Bill Clinton? I thought he would be right up there in consideration. Hummmmmmm.
But I guess Political incompetence and nepotism does not count here the only thing that matters is HRH Caroline the Horse face gets her seat
She can’t be worse than Sonny Bono.
Can she ski?
Didn’t one of her kin have a little skiing accident?
The tie that binds?
I still wouldn’t be surprised if Paterson appointed Bill Clinton; his stupendous clout with the Rats could outweigh Paterson’s concerns about loss of seniority, even if BC would only serve two years. Audacity of Hope, meet Audacity of Grope.
Caroline Kennedy, who is currently campaigning to replace Hillary Clinton as a New York senator, doesn't mind being compared to Jennifer Lopez.
Perhaps Mr. Paterson should just call a special election for the replacement for Mrs. Clinton. This action would avoid scandal and get him off the hook with other corrupt and powerful politicians and gangsters, IMO. I do not think that Caroline is more or less dumb and inarticulate than many other politicians in office. The dummies are the New Yorkers who mindlessly vote for the people that they put into office.
This is like watching the Mafia regain power. Go straighten that Blago out, you might want to take a gun with you. Who’s that blind SOB going to appoint? Another useless governor. Go straighten him out too, don’t hurt him though.
Very funny! Governor Paterson is only doing what Illinois Governor Blagoevich wanted to do: Selling the Senate Seat, but Paterson is doing it the traditional way. Paterson has been promised tens of millions in financing for his 2010 election campaign from Obama, the Kennedys, and billionaire New York City Mayor Bloomberg. Remember, Paterson himself is an accidental Governor by virtue of Eliot Spitzer hooking up with high priced girls. He will need lots of money to defeat Andrew Cuomo in the primary and then Rudy Giuliani in the general election if they choose to run for Governor, and Senator Caroline would be viewed as a very weak 2010 candidate in the election process so that one or both might find it more interesting to run for the NY senate seat! Cuomo is divorced from Caroline’s cousin Kerry, so he might relish knocking her off.
So for 10-20 million in campaign financing, Paterson selects Kennedy and may even deflect his rivals to the NY senate election instead of his Governorship. Verry Savvy.
That hasn't happened yet, and it won't happen until she's approved by the Senate.
Which won't happen until her name is submitted by President Obama.
Which won't happen until he's actually SWORN IN!
Geez, there were people that wanted him to name the replacement in 2008 -- before the Senate that would confirm the nomination was even seated!!!
If she’s anything like nher mother, keep her out of government!
Why not Caroline? She’s as qualified as most of the clowns already there.
In the last days of the Roman Empire, the Emporors would make their horses Senators. Today, we can’t afford the whole horse.
