Caroline Kennedy: Is She Really Qualified For A Senate Seat?
Caroline Kennedy thinks she should have Hilary Clinton’s senate seat because, you know, she’s a Kennedy. She also likes to say “you know” a lot. She recently said it 142 times in an interview.
Explaining why she would be a good Senator, she said: “So I think in many ways, you know, we want to have all kinds of different voices, you know, representing us, and I think what I bring to it is, you know, my experience as a mother, as a woman, as a lawyer, you know, I’ve been an education activist for the last six years here, and, you know, I’ve written seven books – two on the Constitution, two on American politics.
“So obviously, you know, we have different strengths and weaknesses.”
New York definitely does not need a senator that sounds like an uneducated sixth-grader in a senate seat. While Kennedy is highly educated and hasn’t publicly denigrated those less fortunate than her, she remains ignorant of many of New York’s problems. The problem with Kennedy is that she rarely votes, hasn’t been involved in politics, and shows no signs of knowing how to fix New York. He hobnobbing skills are keen and she travels in the right circles, but New York needs a senator that will work for the state and not rely on name recognition instead of deeds to get a seat in the US Senate.
A major problem for any senator is that the western part of the state is in a state of decay and disrepair. The only thing it has going for it right now is some really good colleges. Knowing constitutional law and American politics will help with wheeling and dealing. It won’t help fix the serious problems that New York faces in the 21st century.
Fortunately, she seems to have ticked off Governor Paterson really well. Hopefully, she’ll go back from where she came from and not vote some more.
