As the saying goes:

It is better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool, then to open ones mouth and dispel all doubt.

Not that Ms. Kennedy had to open her mouth to dispel all doubt, but she sure solidified it.

[ClaudiusI]

Maybe we can trick him into appointing a Republican by placing him in a position where, when he reaches forward to fell the candidate, he'll think it's a Democrat.

Because, you see, the Republican mascot is an elephant.... Aw, screw you guys!

[PennsylvaniaMom]

And to think, she had lunch with the Revrund Al Sharpton at Sylvia's, in Harlem and she actually 'ate.' Who sez she really didn't want it?

[SunStar]

Oh yeah, I went there.

I almost did, but erased it before posting... Shame on you! ;)

"You know.. you know...you know...you know...you know...you know...you know...you know...you know..."

Eh.

"Uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh..."

Sources said the reason Paterson had decided not to tap the daughter of John F. Kennedy

He said, "Tap"... bwahahahahahahaha....

I wouldn't tap that either.

[Polybius]

Sources said the reason Paterson had decided not to tap the daughter of John F. Kennedy was her poor performances in media interviews and in private sessions with various officials. .... Article

Common sense and merit triumphs over Identiy Politics!

I expect Patterson to appoint another African-American, but we’ll see. ..... SunStar

All hands, belay my last!

Sources said the reason Paterson had decided not to tap the daughter of John F. Kennedy was her poor performances in media interviews...

So the bottom line is that Kennedy would not have helped (and may have even hurt) the Democratic Party therefore she was not selected. The public polling just didn't hold up for the Dems. Qualifications and service to the country were just after thoughts.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I was rooting for her. I’d rather have a bumbling, dumber-than-a box-of-rocks leftist in the senate than a cunning, intelligent one.

[This Just In]

How charitable of her to patronize the common folk and condescend to nibble on ghetto food. Did she try the wine in a box, or throw back some Colt 45?

Power to the people, sistah.

[NonValueAdded]

Obvious to everyone but very impolite for the Post to say it out loud. :)

"You know.. you know...you know...you know...you know...you know...you know...you know...you know..."
"Uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh..."

What's that - a transcript of a phone call between Caroline and Barry-O?

[This Just In]

They’re cut from the same cloth. The only difference is that one gives orders, the other takes it.

Liberals are like the giant brain in A Wrinkle In Time. The brain representing evil/Communism.

[Mojave]

Pert much.

[muawiyah]

Did I say that?

You did know Paterson is blind, right?

[PennsylvaniaMom]

I could be wrong...but...I see Hillary fingerprints just all over this. The Kennedy's collectively hoisted the pertard of Obama dissing Senator Clinton bigtime. Infact, the Clintonista's may blame the Kennedy's for Hillary's loss...so, do we think Madame Secretary of State wants her seat (yes, it is her seat) just handed to the infidel Schlossssssssburg? Maybe Hil (and Bil) think a 'placemarker' should be 'tapped' so that the Clinton seat can go to the next generation of Hubbel, errr, Clintons--Chelsea? I think she would have had an easier time (and gotten alot of sympathy) if Mrs. Schlossssssssburg had tried for Uncle Teddy's seat instead (unless Teddy has one of his offspring--are they all out of jail?--at the ready to fill his seat).

[pabianice]

Another Profile in Courage! Little Princess Cawoline got a boo-boo on her ego! *snif*

[DManA]

Sources said she was the for sure pick. At the same time sources said she wasn’t going to get it.

This explains why sources are never wrong.

[4rcane]

you know, she probably get the MA senate seat, you know
