    The entire Kennedy clan's success is predicated on projecting a false sense of inherent goodness while pulling the wool over the American public's collective eyes, because they are supposed to be some sort of heroic do-gooding contingency that espouses relatively liberal beliefs that anyone with common sense does as well. In reality, they are nothing but a sleazy criminal enterprise, aristocratic and elitist, that used every devious trick in the book to gain their footing in America. I really fail to see how people can support them and claim them as some sort of nobility since they represent everything that populist people are supposed to hate. They were proponents of black people being treated like human beings, and don't hate the gays or the poors? All is forgiven! Their family history makes Blago look like a friggin angel.

    Not sure how old you are (technically) but the cut off point for fuckability isn't 50 for women.In Europe they understand this better.


    Caroline actually used I raised my children as one of her vague qualifications for the Senate. She isn't running for the State Senate but the US one. She would never be running if she wasn't a former White House occupant. Hillary, whom I'm not a fan of, actually practiced law and was on corporate boards ( while skimming a quick profit on a stock flip) and had enough experience to run.
    Caroline now running after trading her endorsement for favors is a slight to some of us that have raised children while practicing law, working on poicy and remaining fuckable looking.

    "Sexy sexy old rich Scion sex" sounds like the latest marketing campaign from Toyota. Good thing those cars are roomy, given the olds' limited flexibility.

    Hillary (whom I love yo) had no qualifications to be senator except she was a lawyer, had lived in the White House, Bill fucked around on her, and her political involvement was something of a midlife "give me something to do."


    Caroline has no qualifications to be senator except she is a lawyer, has lived in the White House, her father fucked around on her mother, she could possibly be fucking around on her husband in the grand Kennedy tradition, and this senate run is probably something of a midlife "give me something to do."


    So let's just give the woman the seat and go about our business of being hopeful.

    I voted for her because it was obvious that she'd be better than either of those clowns. And she's been a wonderful senator for this state.

    @AllsWell: THere still was an election--and no matter what, she still was chosen by those few New Yorkers who actually vote. Perhaps Caroline could win an election. I suggest she try just that in two years. What annoys me about this is that she seems to be trying an end run around the voters. She wants to be simple given the job on a silver platter. In two years she would then face her FIRST election as the incumbent Democratic Senator--a VERY easy race to win in New York.

    Hillary practiced law and won the Senate election. No question that her connection to the former president helped, but she had more of a track record than Caroline.

    @oyvehisyou: The hitch is if she waits two years, she would then have to run against the incumbent Democratic Senator -- the person Paterson appoints. If asking for the appointment is bad form, running in two years would be seen as even worse form.

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Sorry, getting a little carried away here (some bad nog?) but I was thinking that I should have prepared to have have some rotten vegetables thrown my way after the last comment. Now, from whence comes that fear? The paleo-meme of people throwing fruits and vegetables at a corny performer -- does it have a basis in history? Would audiences actually arrive with a bag full of produce, ready to hurl their slimy invective in case of disappointment?

    You could ask the people at Rotten Tomatoes what they know about the history of flinging produce. I believe it's true! Myself--I'm an adherer to non violence in all ways if poss.


    And to the thread: I usually don't care who's zooming who but the case of the political scion doing the scion of the paper of record just before a Senate race could be relevant. Which really might destroy the fun of all that hot sciontific sex.

    good question. I, for one, would enjoy reading about those behaviors. It seems some of them get drunk together occasionally. This perhaps has led to zooming or pre-zooming.


    Thread: A fascinating scion hookup--Kennedy and Pinch. I suppose if the commenting dept. of the NYT let that flood gate open, that's all anyone would comment about.
