Caroline's Secret Reason
NT Post ^ | Janueay 26, 2009

Posted on 01/26/2009 4:06:23 PM PST by NCjim

Caroline Kennedy's "personal reasons" for withdrawing from Senate consideration were not connected to damaging claims from Gov. Paterson's camp that she owed back taxes, had a nanny problem or faced a marital scandal, two sources close to her have told The Post.

"The reasons she withdrew had nothing to do with the reasons that have been cited by that person close to Gov. Paterson," said one of the sources.

SWISS HISS FOR GOV

"And Gov. Paterson knows it," the source, raising his voice in anger, continued.

The source said that Kennedy, who had been touted as the leading candidate to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton for some two months, would have taken the job if Paterson had moved more swiftly to make a decision, and would have said yes even as late as Monday or late Tuesday - because the family problem had not yet arisen.

A second source close to Caroline Kennedy's family confirmed that the "personal reasons" cited by Kennedy were not related to the three possibilities that would be leaked by an authoritative Paterson operative.

"Caroline learned on Wednesday that there was a specific and serious concern involving someone in her family, and it had nothing to do with taxes, nannies or her marriage," said the second source.

That would have been question four. ;-)

That one was weighted the last time wasn’t it.

to Palin: Who was the leader of Zimbabwe from 1945 to 1947?


"It's a bullsh#t question, it's impossible to answer. 'Cause Africa didn't have in Zimbawe in '47, Zimbabwe didn't come out till '80."

I knew one of the tires wouldn’t stay on the ground.

Tell me what the point setting is for a 1980 Zimbabwe!

Don’t look it up either!

LOL

Cute movie BTW. She was a riot in that movie.

It's no secret. The press no longer controls the news. There is this horrible little thing called the Internet, where everyone can see what a stupid blithering idiot she is.

YouTube did it. The MSM cannot hide the fact that she, like all Kennedys, is an idiot. Listen to her:
(Ummm, you know, ummmmmm, like... you know...)

We may be on to something, I believe that Uncle Teddy NEVER EVER passed (up) a bar either!

Do you remember the movie "The Neverending Story"?

The majority of the story takes place in the parallel world of Fantastica , a world being destroyed by "The Nothing".

That is saved by a boy warrior named Atreyu.

--

Think about this: Obama = Zero

Zero = "The Nothing"

We know nothing about his past, his beliefs, or his friends. Why do you think he voted "present" so many times in the Senate?

Didn’t he (John) pass it on the third time, I believe?

Yes, in a room by himself(supposedly), which was against the rules for the administration of the bar exam in NY.

Sounds like a Clinton Hit Job all right. The Kennedy’s turned on her to Obama and Hillary will have her revenge. What happened to Richardson? A scandal that will end his career.
O-Man better watch his back. Hillary in State and Leon P. a known Clintista at the CIA it has all the makings of a shadow government.

“fat teddy can’t pass a bar either.”

Ha, ha, how true!

Was it Teddy or some other Kennedy that was caught cheating in a Spanish class? Had someone else do the work or something?

Oh, and is it wrong of me to hope that Teddy holds out until July 18 of this year?
