You know, its funny how all those women pundits who tore a strip off of Sarah Palin because she couldnt define the Bush Doctrine in 25 words or less have, you know, remained silent, you know, about Caroline Kennedy repeating the phrase "you know" 142 times in a short interview with the New York Times you know?
That's right, in an interview with Nicholas Confessore and David M. Halbfinger, which was run in its entirety in the NYTs, Kennedy sounded more like, you know, an '80s valley girl than the privileged daughter of a former U.S. president.
Here's what she said when she was asked why she would make a good senator: "So I think in many ways, you know, we want to have all kinds of different voices, you know, representing us, and I think what I bring to it is, you know, my experience as a mother, as a woman, as a lawyer, you know, I've been an education activist for the last six years here, and, you know, I've written seven books, two on the Constitution, two on American politics."
Her entire interview sounded remarkably like the "I-want-to-solve-world-hunger" answers you hear at Miss Universe pageants when the bubble-headed contestants are asked about their goals in life.
Could it be that the Heather Mallicks of the world only attack women who aspire for high office if they don't have the right pedigree or politics? Kennedy expects to be handed Hillary Clinton's senate seat, like it's a piece of pastry passed down the table at a fancy tea party. Well, you know, like Palin, she's not ready. Having said that, Palin would have made a better Vice President than Kennedy would make as a senator, though that's not necessarily saying much.

I am constantly surprised by the diligence the MSM displays in overlooking the obvious parallel that shows them up so badly, between an Alaska governor running for national office, and two other small-state governors who ran for the Presidency, without all the ice picks about lack of international "experience", in both 1988 and 1992.
And then, of course, Bill Clinton proceeded to slime the office for all time. Both his own conduct, and that of the homosexual men in his retinue who made a point of announcing that they had "broken in" the White House by committing an act of sodomy somewhere on its premises, wildly exceeded in their repugnance any imaginable shortcoming or embarrassment one might speculatively imagine the nation might suffer because Sarah Palin didn't know her sherpas from Queen Elizabeth's stick-in-waiting.
.
Press Reports are now coming to us that the NY Governor is considering appointing impeached BILL CLINTON to the U.S. Senate as a “Crossover” Senator. This as a “Temporary” holdover appointment till the 2010 NY Senator Elecitions.
NUTS.

Astute observation of the week bump.
A couple of observers wondered if Sarah is part Indian by extraction, since she has that special vivacity and presence very commonly seen among Amerinds.
Maybe the new guv is secretly a decent guy, and he is pursuing a path intended to make New York voters reexamine their 'Rat tendencies, along the lines of "had enough yet?"
Eventually even New Yorkers will reach their puke point.
“Eventually even New Yorkers will reach their puke point.”
No they won’t. They are a lost cause.
Thanks for the ping!
