Housekeeper and Taxes Are Said to Derail Kennedy’s Bid

An aid in an off the record comment was heard to say “No the three abortions before she was 20 did not figure in the process”

[mass55th]

I don't understand why Paterson should let Caroline's tax problems keep her from being appointed to Hillary's post. Afterall, his top aide hadn't paid taxes from 2001 through 2005, and Paterson knew about it, yet let the guy remain on his payroll all that time. The aide, Charles O'Byrne claimed he was depressed during those years. I figured he was suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome, and couldn't bring himself to pay his State and Federal taxes. The New York Post broke the story back in October, and O'Byrne resigned not long afterward.

GOV GUY: MY GREAT DEPRESSION LED TO TAX WOE

Is this yet another example of sexual discrimination by Democrats? O'Bryne gets a pass for years by Paterson, yet Caroline gets thrown under the bus? I'm sure had the Post not reported the scandal, that the guy would still be working for Paterson.

*** As a matter of fact, I haven’t paid taxes for years. I couldn’t get Turbo Tax to load on my computer. Will the IRS buy that line of baloney? ****

Well... if you explain that you own a Mac they'll prolly feel sorry for you, forgive all your taxes, PLUS give you money for a new p.c.

“She had botched her rollout. She was unprepared. She clearly had no policy experience and couldn’t handle the pressure of the public stage.”

The exact opposite of Sarah Palin.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

...“and had problems with our domestic servants?” Divorced Her...

LOL!

[NativeNewYorker]

So she spent weeks whoring herself in the hottest media spotlight in the world, and it never dawned on her that NOT PAYING TAXES and HIRING ILLEGALS might be an issue?

Talk about a realilty distortion field...

[Carley]

Can I apply for bailout funds?

After all, I spent all the money that should have gone for taxes.

[radiohead]

The regulations and requirments to employing anyone are cumbersome. So cumbersome in fact, that the people who make them so way are dissuading from actually following them.

All true (I have an LLM in taxation), however, there are ways to make it more likely that taxes and regs will be followed. I'm sure the Kennedys have a number of staff people. They could set up a company, with staff as employees. They could lease staff through an employment agency or any one of a number of companies set up to hire employees so organizations don't have to deal with the red tape.

Truth is, they didn't pay because the rules don't matter for them. You and I would be jacked up by the IRS for years.

Representative Kirsten E. Gillibrand (as I predicted).

Super Liberal gun grabber that the NRA rated with an “A”. Beleive it or not.

Also campaigned for and endorsed the Hildabeast.

[rockabyebaby]

She is probably hunting a home in Boston now.

Nah, she doesn't have to, there's the big ole kennedy compound in Hyannis MA, the princess schlossberg can move right in!

[NRA2BFree]

I just can’t wait to see the Kennedy family feud once Ted steps down. Everyone will be gunning for the seat. Make no mistake, a Kennedy will hold it.

Hizzzdrukeness has already made it known that he wants his wife to take over in his position!

[marron]

I fully expect her to be given her uncle’s seat. She will be senator very soon, but from Massachusetts.

[Dixie Yooper]

She was hand picked by the MSM. Why didn’t they do a better job of vetting her and her family?

[LottieDah]

“Why do some small taxes avoided by some of the richest people? Every time?”

My daughter went to parochial school with a girl whose family was loaded. They had $6,000 drapes in the dining room, and mommy’s car was a Jaguar. Her tution was ALWAYS late. The nuns used to have to send reminders home.

[VicVega]

Victoria the Lafayette girl? Believe me, she would be so much better then any of the Kennedy klan.

Do us all a great service Ted, step down today.

she inherited Jackie’s house on Martha’s Vineyard

A liberal, (and a Kennedy), who is an avaricious, hypocritical parasite. Who would have ever believed this?!
That picture of her at the NYT link is alluring. The reptilian look is very sexy.
