Caroline Kennedy Wants Clinton's Senate Seat
Caroline Kennedy, the 51-year-old daughter of President John F. Kennedy, has indicated her interest in filling the New York Senate seat being vacated by secretary of state designee Hillary Clinton. "I've talked to Caroline Kennedy and she's clearly interested," New York Sen. Chuck Schumer said at a news conference Monday afternoon. He indicated that 12 people were interested in the position. "She's interested in the position," New York Gov. David Paterson confirmed. But at the same time "she realizes it's not a campaign." Paterson, who will name Clinton's successor, noted that Kennedy had indicated a desire to "sit down and tell me what her qualifications are." The Rev. Al Sharpton also released a statement Monday indicating that he had received a call from Kennedy "who expressed to me her interest in [Clinton's] Senate seat."

she wants her seat on her face.
Good point Blue, but since this seems to be the season for electing totally unqualified people to high office, she may have a shot. Of course, Chuckie (lens lice) Schumer isn't too happy about her getting the seat, because it means having another socialist female taking all the attention away from him.
Is it just me, or does this Kennedy look like she died 3 or 4 years ago? Is that what politically correct eating habits make you look like?
Blue,
she then has, it would seem, the SAME qualifications as Hitlary for said office.
You would think that after all these years, the American people would be smart enough to run for cover at the mere mention of the Kennedy name when connected to anything political. Especially since there is now more than enough evidence to show (for those who choose to see) that JFK Sr. actually bought and paid for his son's presidency. It sometimes seems that everything on this planet grows, except the intellegence of the people.

That's global warming, I mean, climate change for you!
If only people would buy carbon credits from me, then they would be smarter.
QUOTABLE QUOTES
"Rather than useful jobs in our country, people have been offered bureaucratic "make work," rather than moral leadership, they have been given bread and circuses, spectacles, and, yes, they have even been given scandals. [T]here is violence in our streets, corruption in our highest offices, aimlessness among our youth, anxiety among our elders and there is a virtual despair among the many who look beyond material success for the inner meaning of their lives. Where examples of morality should be set, the opposite is seen. Small men, seeking great wealth or power, have too often and too long turned even the highest levels of public service into mere personal opportunity."

From NY-1 News, 12/18/08:
Apparently, she wants the approval of the "real" power, since with her "qualifications", she couldn't get a job down at the local DQ.
