#3 "It's something that I've always wanted to do."
How about running in an actual election then? I hate twits looking for appointments.

#5 Isn't there a horse somewhere that can be appointed to the Senate? (Technically, John Kerry does not count.)

#6 explaining that she now feels her time has come to ~~become a public official.~~ receive her official coronation.

Fixed it for ya!

Never thought I would see the day, but I gotta give Hillary at least some credit. She at least went through an election. Sweet Caroline is too delicate, apparently.

#7 Not quite there yet:
Overspending - check
Hiereditary Gov Offices - check
Overburdoning taxes, complete amnesty citizenship to increase the tax base (with the side effect that people no longer had to work to be Roman and therefore the core culture was diluted)??

#8 I love the super rich when they claim to know our pains. They never were unemployed, they ask themselves how to pay for the basics, but they "understand" it. What a bunch of b--l s--t.

#9 Re #4 You hit the nail on the head. From ahistorical perspective the political family dynasties are frightening. Additionally, politics are now for sale to the highest bidder...Illinois Governor is a piker compared to the Kennedys...

#10 I might be 50 yrs off, in any case the eventual sacking by the Ostrogoths (aka modern day libtards, muzzys and other assorted degenerates) is on the way unless there is a cultural or tax revolution. Firearms optional but not un-welcomed afaic.

#11 Pooh. Political dynasties are as much a tradition in this country as Party Machines in the cities. More, actually. Remember the two presidents Adam: John and John Quincy? The beloved Roosevelt cousins? The Taft family, who have contributed several Ohio governors and a president? Former Vice President Quayle who, as I recall, inherited his father's senate seat? How many Rockefellers went into politics? I'm sure many of you can recite example local to your area. Given enough time, though, a family's contribution general degenerates into their own version of Caroline Kennedy, after which it peters out. So dear Ms. Kennedy going after that senate seat is actually rather a good sign.

#12 IMHO - she's a twit who couldn't win the seat in an election and shouldn't be given it as a celebrity award. Drudge has a link to a story re: her voting habits. She couldn't be bothered, half the time

#13 Agree TW. don't for get the Harrisons, Wm H. and grandson Benjy. And the Udalls, Kennedys of the west.

Agree Frank. Mrs. Schlossberg is a twit. And who can pronounce the name sober?

#14 I hope you're right TW. For all of us.

#15 She'll be one of one hundred votes, Broadhead6, about as effective as Senator John F. Kerry of blessed memory. For that matter, how much effect had the former junior senator from Illinois do before he retired from the halls of Congress? Although I do admit that last will have more impact in the new position he plans to take in January...
