Caroline for Senator . . . Of Illinois.
Weekly Standard ^ | 02/18/2009 | Noemie Emery

Posted on 02/17/2009 11:59:46 PM PST by SolidWood

Thus far, the young Obama regime has been marred by three major dust-ups relating to three different things: the tax-skipping schemes involving nominees to the Cabinet, the flap over the disposal of his Illinois seat in the Senate, and the disposal of the Senate seat of New York's Hillary Clinton, involving a row among four or more dynasties, in which the Princess of Camelot found herself dissed. Nonetheless, the news that Illinois appointee Roland Burris is now in hot water opens a happy solution: oust the now-tainted Burris from his place in the Senate, and give it to Caroline Kennedy. Caroline doesn't live in the state and knows nothing about it, but this isn't important. For the following reasons, this makes perfect sense:

1. The seat she wanted and didn't get was being vacated by Hillary Clinton, a president's wife who ran for the Senate in New York, though she was born in Illinois and was First Lady of Arkansas, before living for eight years in Washington. Illinois thus offered New York a senator. Since Caroline is a president's daughter who lives in New York, (and lived as a child in Washington), it makes perfect sense that New York should pay back the favor by offering Caroline in return to the state of Obama and Lincoln. You could call it a new form of interstate commerce. Or, turnabout being fair play.

Would anyone really be surprised if this happened? The sheeple would accept it without question too.

Mary Green, today’s a queen
One thousand dollies are a dreaming
Cotton frocks and golden locks
Her palace is an orange box

Why can’t we just lock up all of the Kennedy’s inside their extended family compound in Massachusetts? Would they be missed? not likely.

HUH? These three pale in comparison to the giant turd laid on the American dinner table yesterday in Denver.

You are correct! They're only going to replace Chairman Hussein with someone else who is black in the same way that here in the PRNY Her Heinous was only going to be replaced by a woman. When Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg steps down, it's going to be the same deal at the Supreme Court.

Which is why it makes perfect sense to install Oprah as the new Senator. Then there'd be P-BO and She-O.

Well, if we’re going to be exporting “talent”, Michigan would like to offer Clueless Jenny Granholm, Moronica Conyers, or Cheeks Kilpatrick. Any of these three would fit the bill perfectly for a carpet bag.

Who in Massachusetts would dare object to a Kennedy?

Even her family sold out. No one would dare to take the Kennedys on.

Two words: Gregor Mendel.

You can walk like a sloppy man and talk like an uneducated child also, I guess.
