I remember her like it was yesterday at the start of her youth, her brother at full attention while she was preoccupied with a book or something, not seeming to have a care in the world. Of course, kids have different ways of dealing with tragedy, especially with the death of a parent.
Now, forty-five years later, she wants to grab Hillary’s senate seat.
The DNC has several dilemmas.
The first is money. Without working any real job in her life, she has amassed a couple of hundred million. Guess who elected not to spend any of it (at least not a memorable amount) on fellow Democrats? You guessed it, Caroline Kennedy.
The second dilemma is her stately speech that just grabs your attention right away and keeps you captivated until she pauses.
The NY Daily News reported these direct quotes:
“I’m really coming into this as somebody who isn’t, you know, part of the system, who obviously, you know, stands for the values of, you know, the Democratic Party”
“I know how important it is to, you know, to be my own person. And, you know, and that would be obviously true with my relationship with the mayor.”
What is obviously, perhaps painfully, an attention-getter, this is not the speech pattern we need on the nightly news for our children to hear and mimic. In fact, couple of sentences later, you might just wish to hear Hillary’s infamous cackle or one of her imitations of a Screech Owl.
I don’t know who sounds worse, Caroline of Barney Frank. Were are stuck with Barney at least until next election cycle; we do not need, ah, whatch-a-ma-callit, errrr… Caroline.
I think Caroline ought to go get a real job selling for Smirnoff and forget about keeping the family name in politics. JFK was the last Kennedy in politics to do any real good for We The People.
