Dowd & Andrea Mitchell mock Al D’Amato to defend Caroline Kennedy. Ping to Today show list.

Well, uh, ya know, the notion that somehow democrats like Obama, Biden, uh, Clinton and now, uh, Kennedy need to somehow be, uh, articulate, I think has time and time, uh, proven to be, uh..........and, uh, ya know, I've said that all through this campaign.

[Bahbah]

Al D’Amato at no time sounded as dumb as Caroline Kennedy.

[Jim Scott]

Trying to use the past occasional inarticulateness of Al D'Amato, a hard-working 3-term Republican Senator from New York who has been out of office for a decade as a rationale to excuse Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg's lack of poise and ability to deliver a cogent message, much less, answer legitimate political questions, shows the absolute desperation of the Manhattan Park Avenue cocktail party set that are openly rooting for a Kennedy Family aristocrat to replace her Uncle Ted, who, in all likelihood, will be forced to resign his seat as he battles brain cancer.

Caroline Kennedy has no business being in the U.S. senate and would probably be a totally useless representative of the vast majority of New York state residents. She would be there because her name is 'Kennedy' and her father and uncle were assassinated, many years ago.

Truth be told, I doubt Caroline even wants the job, but is 'stepping up' at the request of Uncle Ted and the N.Y. Democrat establishment. Unfortunately for Caroline, her embarrassing inarticulateness, considering her fine education and years around the glib politicians in her family, have spotlighted the inescapable fact that she is stunningly unprepared for the high political appointment she seeks. By contrast, Alaska Governor and former GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin looks positively Churchillian.

This cheer-leading and strained defense of Caroline Kennedy from the leftmedia is ironic, considering the liberals have spent the last eight years ridiculing and mocking President Bush for his inarticulateness. Pot, Kettle, Black.

I can vividly rememrber the frequent verbal pauses of her father, the revered JFK. “I, er, ah, never said this or I ,er, ah think that. Of course those endearing mannerisms would cause Andrea Mitchell to wet her pants.
