KIDS URGED CAROLINE: QUIT, MOM (Kennedy family food fight)
NY POST ^ | 5/5/09 | LEONARD GREENE

Posted on 05/05/2009 3:16:57 AM PDT by Liz

'JERKED BACK TO REALITY' AMID SENATE STRESS The book "Ted Kennedy: The Dream That Never Died" -- excerpted in June's Vanity Fair -- says Caroline Kennedy's three children "told her if she was getting this worked up over getting appointed, they didn't want her in the trenches of a political campaign or a fight in Washington." Caroline may have an even bigger battle on her hands as Ted Kennedy fights brain cancer........Among those said to be vying for the post are Ted's wife, Victoria, and Joseph Kennedy, oldest son of Robert. According to a friend, Joe has "long resented Caroline, whom he views as haughty....and is suspicious and envious of Ted's fawning over Caroline," and he "loathes" Victoria's control over his uncle, the book says. Joe held the Congressional seat once held by JFK for over a decade and was considered a shoo-in for governor until he was felled by scandal a decade ago.

The poor dear.

Well, at least she doesn't have to visit diners anymore and rub elbows with the unwashed. Time to go back to her beet and goat cheese salads with balsamic vinaigrette.

What Kennedy hasn’t been felled by scandal.

The more depraved the behaviour the more the voters love the clan.

What's an 8 letter word for scum?

Kennedys

Kennedys are the fecal matter that comes out of Massholechusetts.

Interesting the fight is over who is “head” of the family and JOe went to the hospital when Ted was sick and tried to take over even with Miss Vicki there.

I am rooting for Miss Vicki whom JOe sees as a “servant”,,

He doesn’t know Louisiaina girls,,heh heh,,I do and Miss Vicki won’t be a pushover.

Seems to me the person most affected by the Kennedy clan manipulations of all things political would be Hillary Clinton.

It was Hillary's attempt to reenact ‘we can do it better’, Bobby Kennedy into the White House and along came old Teddy and crowned Bama as the ‘new’ and improved JFK along with the forever first child Caroline. And these two ceremoniously jerked that magic carpet right from under her feet.

A friend at the hospital following Kennedy's seizure last year says, "The elephant in the room was the notion of succession . . . The question was: Who was in line to take over for Ted, not just, or necessarily, in his Senate seat, but as head of the family?

As far as Ted's Senate seat goes, there will be no appointing a replacement. Special election within 180 days. It was changed in 2004 due to Jean Francois Kerree's getting nominated. The state Legislature was afraid Romney would appoint a Republican to fill Kerree's seat.

You are right about Chelsea waiting in the wings.

And that apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
