Michael Daly revisits Caroline Kennedy;
A moment came, you know, as Caroline Kennedy was at, you know, the podium, endorsing Barack Obama, when she tipped her head and, you know, smiled just like her father.
At that instant she seemed to, you know, fill with her father’s spirit, the spirit she had seen, you know, in Obama, the spirit propelling her to, you know, step from the, you know, carefully private existence her mother had, you know, worked so hard to make possible.
In that seemingly impossible privacy, you know, she had raised three fine children with, you know, a husband who is as good a guy as ever walked. Their apartment feels, you know, like a home, with warmth and, you know, talk and laughter and, you know, life.
Among the, you know, books on her shelves are those she wrote and, you know, edited; worthy, you know, serious efforts. “Profiles in Courage for Our, You Know ,Time” is a collection she, you know, compiled and edited in 2002. I wrote the one on, you know, the peacemakers in Northern Ireland and can assure you she is hardworking,disciplined and, you know, smart, yet grounded in, you know, common sense.
Also note that with Sarah Palin off the stage (for the moment), it’s safe once again for the MSM to begin pedaling the sexism card. Sexism was an important concern when Hillary was running; then not so much when Palin was being attacked; and now that Princess Caroline is
runningasking her relatives to make phone calls to get her appointed, it’s back.
Ace of Spades (Kate, I’m surpised he’s not on your blogroll btw) has a great take on the double standard with Sarah Palin, and how the sexist card can now be reintroduced (in with Clinton, out with Palin, back in with princess Caroline), among other great observations.
The media looked foolish with their Palin hysteria, but are now off the charts when one compares Palin to princess Caroline’s coverage.
I think they’re aware of it at this point, but just like an alcholic is innately aware his night of boozing will lead to his downfall, they just can’t help themselves.
Leave it to the Dems to come up with a vacuous trustafarian(trust fund kid) whose name is all that she has going for her in the mold of Trudeau’s spawn. Scratch the surface and there is nothing that Caroline could contribute to resolving the economic peril we are in. She’s as dumb as a rock.
With Bush out the door in a couple of weeks it’s obvious that the world’s bad guys are acting up with impunity. They see blue skies on their horizon.
We are entering the Age of Corruption and Stupidity ushered in with the liberal Messiah. It’s agonizing to watch.
She loved her husband, you know, so much, you know, that she kept her maiden name, you know, Kennedy.
Thanks, biff – noted in an update.
Penny, I agree whole heartedly. My feelings exactly.
Michael Daly :
Dude!!!!
If she really wants the seat, run for it. Demand an election. You know.
And if she’s named her response will be something this.
“Oh. Oh my God, oh my god. You know, I really thought, you know, I wouldn’t get it, you know. Oh my God, oh my God. Terrific, you know. Oh my God.”
I find the “you know” style almost refreshing to Obamas stuttering stammering “uh, uh , uh” duh style when he is without teleprompter.
maybe she is speaking to the hoipolloi and saying they know , therefore they are smart. Obama is saying you are “duh”mb and need the messiah
sarc off.
For the record, she said “you know” 12 times in 1 minute. That’s once every 5 seconds. There’s difference of kind, not just of degree, between people saying “um” from time to time, and sheer outright vacuousness.
well you just never know. 46? 47?

And da piana player adds – ugly as an overflowing spit bucket to boot!
Obamanomics. except for one huge problem, the US is successful with cheap energy not expensive energy. the US economy boomed in the days of 3$ oil

“We are entering the Age of Corruption and Stupidity”
Just awaken from an eight year coma, penny?
When I walked into the Manhatten deli, Caroline was already seated at a table with a writer from the New Yorker.
I flung myself into a convenient chair, complaining about one of the sopranos at the Met.
“Caroline,” I asked, “why do you think you should be the next senator from New York?”
We were interrupted for a moment when the waiter brought our espressos, while Caroline accepted her caramel macchiatto with a Danish.
Caroline flung one graceful hand dismissively, her gold bracelets clanging with an elegance of their own,
“Simply because I believe it’s time for New York to dismiss the colors of the earth. The earth tones. The tans, the browns, the rusty reds… ”
I instantly began to scribble her words on a napkin saying, “This is going into my column in the Atlantic Monthly.”
Caroline smiled with a warmth that included the three of us, and enclosed us in a blanket of Kennedy intimacy and charm.
Caroline, with a sip of her caramel macchiatto, went on, “I believe New York touches the sky. It is the sky tones, the infinite blue that cannot be contained by any boundary. The clouds that pass overhead. The moon rising over Manhatten.
“I have spent most of my life familiar with the most important things about Manhatten. I’ve been to the loft apartments and the artists’ garrets. I’ve met with featured perfomers at the Met backstage. I’ve had secret dalliances in the nooks of the Guggenheim. I know the auctions of Sotherby’s. I personally know three salesmen at Tiffany’s.
“I know New York. And that’s why I want to be New York’s next senator.”
Glancing at a slim, expensive gold watch on her wrist, she took one last sip of her caramel macchiatto and dashed for her limo.
“Must fly. I have a gallery opening in the Village.”
With a brief wave she smiled Kennedy charm and announced, “ciao!” as she got into the limo.
I looked at my colleague from the New Yorker. Our eyes met and we both spontaneously began to nod in recogniztion.
“There goes the next senator from New York.” His statement was unequivocal, and I prepared to dash back to write my next column for the Atlantic Monthly, I felt oddly patriotic feelings, along with an almost erotic association with New York City, and thought to myself, “Yes, indeed. That is the next senator from New York.”
new , we hardly knew you.
which one of these are you?
Id guess from your hamfisted typing , you are at least male. and your occasional foray into intelligable english means you arent one of 5 frenchies.
1. John Chamberlin
2. Natalie Dagenais
3. Philippe Dufresne
4. Kathleen Fawcett
5. Harvey Goldberg
6. Fiona Keith
7. Sandy Kozak
8. Catherine Labelle
9. Vera Pantalone
10. Marie-Anne St-Amour
11. Dean Steacy
12. Richard Tardif
13. Marie Wankam
so give us a number.
cal2, that “new” is a mystery to me. Many of his postings read as if they have been machine translated from Chinese to French to Hindu and then to English. I assume he’s trying but I rarely get any of his points.
Should Caroline Kennedy become Senator of New York? Yes she can!
What are her qualifications for this position? Yes she can!
If a serious issue came before her, how would she handle it? Yes she can!
– End of Interview –
Is there a Senate seat sale in the USA this year?? I cannot possibly believe there are even five people whom would think Caroline should be a Senator. Come to think of it, not even one. This must be a dream, definitely a nightmare.
Caroline Kennedy and Mrs. Clinton are good team-work
both had bad experience Mrs. Clinton lost her
presidency and Mrs. Kennedy lost her father
Do not worry Mrs. Clinton can teach Caroline Kennedy how to do the job done
may be it is time for Celine Dion to made one song for caroline Kennedy too

I checked Celine Dion sings more and with American and with anybody and for anybody
except Mr. Harper
tactic of Liber is this they asked Green pary firs to join them then they dump them
then they asked coaliation with NDP
then Mr. Michael Ignatieff now try to dump
NDP too and deny past agreement with DION
Not trustable to any group join them
Kennedy family are born and grow with politic i GUESS do not need experience just need security
for some reason all the death in Kennedy
family they are rich and political view and brain while they are kind of simple deal with public and careless people in my eyes must be carfull
Caroline Kennedy (Schlossberg) makes Sarah Palin look and sound gracefully eloquent and highly educated.
Miss Kennedy, as some news writers referred to her, is single when it’s convenient?
First, 52-year-old Caroline Kennedy does NOT look 32 (according to “new”); I remarked to my husband that pushing 60, I look younger than she does. ‘Must be all the exposure to the sun on tennis courts and tropical/Nantucket beaches plus certain “anti-ageing” creams. She looks like a dried up fig. And, her hair’s a mess: too much blonde dye.
Most maddening, among a list the length of my leg, is her advocacy of “public education” and her nixing the issuing of educational vouchures. ‘Natch, her three children went to private schools. The absolute nerve of her consigning the rest of New York’s children to substandard public education when her darlings had the best education money could buy. You know, let the masses eat cake …
I think, you know, that Princess Caroline, you know, is a wrinkled, you know, empty suit with a, you know, silver spoon in her mouth and, you know, crown on her pointed little Kennedy head.
NEW. YORKERS. SAY. NO. TO. YOU. KNOW. PRINCESS. CAROLINE.
The other thing that really pi**es me off, in that interview from the backroom of that diner around the corner from her place, is when she admitted that although her finances had been affected by the meltdown, she was very fortunate because her husband had a job and she wasn’t going to lose her house.
Her house? How about houses? She’s worth something like $100,000,000. Give me a break! She hasn’t a clue how the rest of us live and would be the absolute WORST candidate for Senator. How did she ever get in the running?
Oh yeah. I forgot … she’s a WOMAN … a KENNEDY … used to BACKROOM DEALS …
Silly me. Of course. She’s the perfect Democratic candidate: privileged, monied, pampered, underqualified, but pedigreed … of course …
I guess now you know why she’s been avoiding interviews, eh.
As in music and sports, political dynasties seldom produce good 2nd generation results, (think Dylan, Sinatra, Lennon etc.). Of all the dozens of Kennedy politicos, arguably only JFK had real leadership qualities. As was said of Teddy, if he ran for Senator as Edward Moore, his candidacy would have been a joke. Similarly for Caroline Schlossberg. It is difficult to imagine anyone less qualified for NY Senator. I cannot fail to note the deathly silence from feminist commentators who viciously attacked Sarah Palin for lack of experience.
Well, Caroline, please forgive me but no, I just didn’t know.
Frankly, you know, I’m becoming more impressed with the Oprah-Kennedy-Clinton-Obama, you know, team, all the time.
But what a terible time to have, you know, an unqualified, inexperienced bunch of misfits to be governing the USA at this, you know, precarious economic time.
Still you know, maybe, just maybe, these guys will make a sows ear out of a sows ear.
She reminds me of a Canadian MP of the past, A Cunning Stunt she was, Balinda I think she went by.
I am amazed at people who want to get into public life who don’t join a Toastmasters club for a couple of years and learn how to speak in public without ums, ers, and ‘you knows’.
In fact I encourage everyone to get involved for a while with TM. If you are a father of a bride that’s one very important speech you are going to make. It really helps with eulogies too, and besides TM is a great deal of fun. A club meeting always has a jokester as part of the program.
I might (possibly, maybe) be able to overlook her terrible speaking style if she actually had something intelligent to say. However, she either answers questions in a way that would make Paris Hilton cringe, or more often, avoids answering at all. I read the transcript of the New York Times interview – she has more ways of dodging questions than I would have thought possible.
