There's always Oprah.
I’ve been wrestling a little with how I feel about Caroline Kenndy’s bid for Hillary Clinton’s empty Senate seat. You know, on one hand, she’s a brilliant Harvard-educated lawyer, she comes from a family that epitomizes American politics, she’s promoted so many non-profit causes, but most importantly, she is also a total babe.
But sometimes it’s hard to read interviews with her. It pains me to make this connection, but the words that come out of her mouth sometimes just can’t help but recall the vapidity of one long-gone Sarah Palin (miss you). She’s talking, but she isn’t really saying anything.
Now, I’m sure she stands for certain issues… I just wish I knew which ones. Herein lies the problem. Maybe it’s too early, maybe this is her strategy, all I know is that I don’t think it’s working. Everything I’ve read about her bid for the seat says, well… exactly what I’m saying.
Still, she has my support in winning the position. See, the podunck newspaper that I work for has an online section, and one of my greatest joys in life is seeing what the common people from the ‘burbs and sewers of New Jersey have to say about the issues. I read this today, and it sort of cinched the deal for me:
“I for one think that Caroline Kennedy is the ideal junior senator from New York. She’s a liberal, she’s elitist, and she has a sense of entitlement to something that she has not earned.”
I know you are being facetious here, MorrisJim, but you’ve summed up all of my hopes and dreams in life in one sentence on an internet forum. Congrats! She’s got my vote (in spirit).
