Here comes more criticism of Caroline Kennedy's interest in Hillary Clinton's Senate seat. Following on the heels of Rep. Gary Ackerman's J.Lo comment, retail union head (and former DNC chief house counsel) Stuart Applebaum tells the Post, "Caroline Kennedy, although I'm sure a fascinating and engaging person, simply doesn't have the experience or Washington know-how to get it done for New York." Applebaum is also a friend of Clinton, and Politico reports that Kennedy's support of Obama may be seen as a betrayal to Clinton supporters. Representative Anthoy Weiner, another friend of Hillary, said, "This isn't a jihad or anything, but I'd be lying to you if I said that supporters of Hillary don't remember where she was in the primary." As for who Governor Paterson may choose to succeed HRC, a source close to him said, "There is no frontrunner - period."





Considering Hillary did nothing notable for her constituents, hiring an inexperienced Kennedy couldn't be much worse. Schumer doesn't do anything either, but at least he makes it look like he is with his frequent press conferences on practical subjects. Hillary just mailed it in even before her run for prez, and once the campaign began she was even more useless.
she kinda looks like JFK in drag. What kind of horrible Kennedy curse are we in for if we get her as senator? I'm thinking head in box a la seven.
"Representative Anthoy Weiner, another friend of Hillary, said, "This isn't a jihad or anything,"
JIHAD???
Anthony, you have been hanging out with Hillary's GF, Huma, for WAY too long...
do we really want cuomo who whole family including his mother made millions off HUD and renting hotel rooms at 1000/night to homeless people. what a joke. pick kennedy, at least she won't rob as Cuomo
Wow. Felixthecat's going Jen Chung on us. That's one doozy of a paragraph. But how about this for a novel idea. Pick neither of them.
Pick her to fill the seat of whoever Paterson picks to fill Hillary's seat.
Caroline Kennedy has way more of the same type of experience Hillary claims, and unlike Hillary, she's a New Yorker. Hillary did nothing for New York, and demonstrated her inability to actually govern, by running her campaign into massive debt, and behaving scarycrazy.
Andrew Cuomo is a dick. He ran HUD into the corrupt mess it became, and failed to indict any of the robber barons of Wall Street. Why give him anything else to break?
"at least she won't rob as Cuomo"
Yeah, the Kennedy's are completely trustworthy. Just ask the family of Mary Jo Kopechne...
And speaking of Cuomo, one of the Kennedy girls screwed around on him as well...
