I’d like to know something.  Should a self-entitled little rich girl, who has had everything handed to her from birth, and brings no real qualifications to the table, be appointed a United States Senator merely her last name is Kennedy?  Apparently Caroline Kennedy thinks she deserves the Senate seat, and goshdarnit, if she doesn’t get it, she’ll take her toys and go home.  After all, actually running and campaigning would mean that she’d have to associate with those plebeians in New York!  “‘Well, if he doesn’t select me, I would support the person that he does select,’ she said.”

Well, isn’t that just mighty big of her!  You know… she DESERVES to be appointed, but no way she’d actually RUN!  That would require her to actually talk to the Great Unwashed, right?  She’s a KENNEDY, after all!  And by virtue of being a Kennedy, she should automatically be appointed, you see…

…I think, I would be an unconventional choice – I haven’t followed a
traditional path, but I think I bring a lifetime of experience to this.
In my family public service is really the greatest honor anyone can
have it’s a legacy I cherish and that I’ve tried to live up to my whole
life. I come at this as a mother, I’ve raised three kids, I’m a lawyer,
I’ve written books on the constitution, I’ve written books on the
constitution and our fundamental rights that are used in colleges and
high schools across this country. I’ve written other books about
political courage, American history for families so people can really
pass these values on to their families and I think that’s something we
really don’t do. We talk about sports and politics, but we don’t really
talking about what’s inside every one of us that’s gotten us here.
Those are the kind of books and those are the issues that I’ve worked
on for the past six years. I’ve worked in the New York City public
schools. I have a sense of what families are going through. I would
like to bring that energy and visibility.

Translation:  I’m a Kennedy!  Who needs REAL experience when I’m a Kennedy!

And you’ll just LOVE this bit, where Caroline claims she has had to *sniff* work twice as hard as others, being born a Kennedy and all…


Dominic Carter: Caroline when we talk to New Yorkers many of them have
a lot of good things to say about you. Some of the criticism we’ve
heard, and you heard over the past couple of days, some people may have
a sense of feeling that there’s a sense of entitlement as it relates to
you possibly going to the senate. How do you respond to that criticism?


Caroline Kennedy: It’s not a way I’ve ever lived my life I know people
have a lot opinions about our family, good opinions, bad opinions, in
our family, my family. I can tell you in our family in particular there
is a sense we have to work twice as hard – people have this perception
- and we are fortunate but I think it’s a question what you do with
that opportunity.

And gets called on that particular pile of bullshit.


Dominic Carter: So wait a minute, are you telling me that Caroline
Kennedy has felt that she had to work twice as hard her entire life?


Caroline Kennedy: Not twice as hard as people as people who are
struggling to put food on the table for their families who don’t have
any healthcare, or come to this country ya know with nothing and have
to support their family. But in terms of ya know satisfying the
perception this is just ya know all you have to do is pick up the phone
you get everything you want. I would have a lot to prove. I think
Hillary Clinton showed she came into this and worked unbelievably hard
and she delivered for New York and people saw that and you have to earn
their trust and respect and I think that would be my job as well.

Poor little rich, entitled girl!  She has to work hard to earn respect!  WAH!  Being a Kennedy is soooo HAAAAARD!  Having zero practical experience other than shopping and attending society parties apparently makes it more difficult for one to become Senator, and that’s not acceptable!  She’s a Kennedy, dammit!

Spare me.
