Have kids books and movies changed since I was a lad?  Usually the princess finds prince charming and lives happily ever after...not turn into a Senator (which wouldn't be that great of an ending).

"There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we can not resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary." -Sister Lucia

Typical libtard. "I know it would be bad, but it would make me feel so good..."

That's how Obama got elected.

This is just another illustration of how Hollywood and Washington are joined at the hip.  Ever since "All the President's Men", Hollywood screenwriters have dreamed of being reporters and reporters have dreamed of being screenwriters.  Through film, many screenwriters have pretended to be reporters...and through editorial, many reporters have pretended to be screenwriters.  Needless to say each has done the other's job poorly (not to mention how badly they've done their own jobs).  As an Irish-American, I am absolutely ashamed to have even the thinnest of connections to the Kennedy mob...but these aspiring screenwriters in the press are simply glued to the "fairy tale" prospect of one of these goons being appointed to the Senate.  Caroline Kennedy would serve the same role for the New York delegation that Barbara Boxer does for the California delegation (or Bob Casey does for the Pennsylvania delegation)...provide a warm body to make partisan votes, and that's it.  Boxer, Casey and Caroline Kennedy have never and will never be entrusted with any actual authority in the Senate, they're intellectual lightweights who happen to occupy safe seats (Caroline temporarily excluded).  The only thing expected of them will be to continually get reelected...and with the one note drones currently voting in those states, they'll do that job just fine.  Seriously, though.  If we in New York are stuck with a Senator Designate based totally on her status as famous for being famous, why doesn't Patterson just pick Ivanka Trump?  At least she's from New York. 

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." -Ronald Reagan

I am by no means a Kennedy scholar -JFK was assassinated nearly 3 years before I was born- but I'm wondering why the lasting obsession with the guy and his family. Other than the unabashed worship of celebrities (many of whom were the kids tormented in high school for being in the drama club, and thereby "uncool"), what exactly do so many media-types find fascinating about them? JFK was the first catholic president, which by any measure would draw staunch opposition by the media if it was happening in 2008. He was a womanizer, as was his brother Bobby; I would think that wouldn't be celebrated in this day in age (unless your name is Jon Favreau and can write speeches without the 'um' or 'uh' in them.) He nearly bundled the country into nuclear war, and he first put troops in Viet Nam. I know both JFK and RFK are credited with helping to start the civil rights movement, but I believe there is ample evidence that this was with strong reservation, if not completely against their own politcal advice. So, other than two assassinations, what did either of them really accomplish? Labor relations with big unions? Yeah... that worked out really well. And what about Teddy? Name something, anything, that he's done in nearly the 150 years he's been blathering in the Senate that has significantly bettered the country.

So now comes Caroline. Don't know her, don't know about her. But does she have any qualifications for the Senate other than her last name? Then again, we are talking about the Clinton seat...

Since when have the Kennedy's worked for what they want politically? Caroline is following in her Uncle Bobby's carpetbagging footsteps.

This is but one more time playing on the emotions of those who remember Jack Kennedy's assassination. It's not so dissimilar to white guilt about the blacks. Look how long that's been milked!

As a lifelong resident living in Western New York, I remember when Bobby ran for and became a Senator. Lo and behold, here we are 44 years later. Deja' vu all over again.

Come on Carline Kennedy has all Democrat Qualifications to run for high office:

Your grandfather was a bootegger.

Your grandfather was a Nazi Sympathizer.

Your grandfather was an appeaser to tyranny as a diplomat.

Your grandfather rigs a national election by working with Chicago thugs to have the dead vote thus throwing the election to your father.

Your father almost starts world war III.

Your father embarrasses the United States in a half baked attempt to invade Cuba 

Your father is a serial adulterer

Your uncle is a serial adulterer

Your cousin was on trial for rape

Another cousin molested his babysitter

Your uncle with his car kills a woman he had an adulterous affair with.

Your mother takes a bribe from your granfather not to divorce your father because it would damage his political fortunes.

Another cousin is convicted of murder in Connecticut.

Your uncle wiretaps Martin Luther King Jr. (Funny how the libs didn't mind wiretapping then)

Yep, the Kennedy's they are America's treasure.

Fairy Tale?  I remember when Bill Clinton used that same expression and was promptly labeled as a racist.

was also posted at American Thinker this morning.  I read the summary, got nauseous, but curious, and clicked over to the original full article on WaPo.  If you have the stomach for it, feel free.  But anyway, as of 8:30 a.m., there were 650 comments directly to the article, about 85% mirrored all of yours.  The other 15% were moonbats, still in celebrity worship over a Kennedy. 

Many were very embarassed over reading this childish mush from a full-grown woman, and told her to please be an adult, we aren't playing "My Pretty Pony" here.  I would be so ashamed if I were Ruth Marcus.  Women have worked a long time to be taken seriously in the workplace and the freemarket of ideas.  We've just been taken down a few rungs.
