Shelly Silver is as slimy a politician as you’ll find anywhere. He’s a disgrace.

Must have been a really big check. Shelly doesn’t give away things on the cheap. And if the story is true that the Gov. went to see Shelly to talk him into supporting Caroline. Then the fix is in.

I wonder if Shelly had money invested with Madoff? If so, I’m sure he could use some cash.

Princess Caroline wont actually have to get up and go to work. She has staffers (commoners like you & I) who will do all the work so she can sit on her aristocratic ass. She’ll show up in front of the cameras and read the talking points they prepare for her.

The Kennedy men all got the alcoholic/drug addict gene. The Kennedy women got the UGLY gene. Cant decide which is worse.
