The Lucky-X-Chromosome Senator For New York

And to think that Caroline Kennedy was in line for a mere Senate seat when she had the qualifications to be Treasury Secretary.

When in doubt, go for aristocracy.

To create doubt, confusion or outright fabrication of "news", go to the MSM. Remember, they have mouths to feed, too.

Sorry to be OT but a Globe poll needs attention. Should Omar Kadhr come home? So far it's 60-40 in the right direction, but something more overwhelming would be nice

I would imagine she also qualifies to run the Federal Reserve!

It's there on the lower right hand side, running 59% leave him, 41% bring our boy home.

Rich liberals are all for raising taxes because they know how not to pay taxes.

Supreme hypocrisy.

So now she's not going to be a senator. Is this an example of a system that works?

AtlanticJim | January 22, 2009 6:26 PM | Reply

Not even remotely close glasnost.

In that system she would never have ever been considered.

Taxes and housekeeper? Naw.

I'm sure she just figured it would be easier to slide into her uncle's seat now that he is going to be out of the picture.

And it would be in the Kennedy clan's own private state too.
Ooohhh, the Camelot of it all.
Yes, fairy tales can come true!

Exactly what I thought, rockyt. It's a no-brainer.
That state will not ask any potentially embarrassing questions. Imagine if only John hadn't taken up flying lessons, he'd be able to step into either the N.Y. senate seat or Uncle Teddy's.

Now 47,307 responses and exactly the same poll results

Democrats have become more like thieving Feringies than watchdogs for the public. Like the NDP here. Its why scandals abound among them.

50,604 @ 6:05 mst. Still exact same responses. Something VERY fishy there.

Geert Wilders knows in like manner as Mohammad Ali did. That being a free Man entails the risk of dying or being imprisoned for what they believe. With the consequences for not only personnel liberty, but integrity at times of repression.

I was brought up to think doing good was its own reward. So is standing up for what on thinks is right no matter the cost.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
