Caroline Kennedy Wuz Bored; Needs a New Toy
This whole Caroline Kenneday for Senator episode is a portent of things to come democratic. Rollicking funny albeit unintentionally so.
I watched news reports of this individual going on a listening tour and the idea I came away with was Caroline's only qualification was she is a Kennedy.
I watched a PBS report on Kennedy's tour of upstate New York and a subsequent interview by a reporter who covered the event. The reporter, whose name escapes me at the moment, was so gushingly in favor of the "new generation" of Kennedys taking their rightful place in a US Senate, I worried I may become ill from listening to it.
Oh yeah, from TFA:
She gets the seat, of course. Her main opponent is the state attorney general, scion of a lesser political dynasty. Andrew Cuomo happens to be the ex-husband of Caroline's cousin, Kerry Kennedy. In a nice twist, Kerry has been making the case for her cousin on TV: "She's a mother and a woman!" And you thought Caroline had no qualifications.
"We live in a country where one out of every five girls is sexually assaulted by the time she's 21."
Is this a good talking point for any Kennedy, male or female?
