The Entitled Caroline Kennedy

Look, I'm old enough to remember Caroline Kennedy riding her pony Macaroni on the White House lawn. She was an adorable kid and a big part of the whole Camelot thing. Since then Caroline has lived a very private, privleged life. Unlike many of her cousins, Caroline has avoided making herself fodder for the tabloids. So it comes as something of a surprise she has suddenly decided she wants to be appointed Senator from New York. My first question is what makes her think she's qualified? You're not. Unfortunately Hillary Clinton set the bar pretty low when she convinced New York voters being married to a philandering president was sufficient qualification for the job. Caroline apparently feels being the daughter of another philandering president is also qualification enough. The sad part is too many idiot voters think an election is an episode of American Idol. It will be interesting to see if Gov. David Paterson has the guts to tell Caroline to stay with the charity balls and Fifth Avenue cocktail parties. He should.
