[Justaham]

ALBANY - Caroline Kennedy, who stunningly quit her push for Hillary Clinton's Senate seat, is dealing with a "tax problem and a potential nanny issue," a source close to Gov. Paterson said Thursday.

"She was facing some potentially embarrassing personal issues" that came up during the vetting process, the source said, adding that the governor had decided she was not up to the job anyway.

Kennedy cited "personal reasons" when she released a terse one-sentence statement announcing she was quitting her Senate bid.

I wonder how many other people high up in the power structure are dodging huge amounts of taxes and getting away with it. I’ll bet it’s a lot more than we know.

[informavoracious]

These overprivileged elites simply dsgust me. No wonder we can’t get the borders closed - they’d lose their undocumented, untaxed house slaves. What hypocritical pigs they all are.

[ronnyquest]

What can I say besides, “Oh wow?”

[TBP]

Caroline was after the wrong job. She should have tried to be Secretary of the Treasury.

[mgc1122]

Given the sheer numbers of tax deadbeats in Congress and those being appointed Treasury Secretary these days, I’m surprised the rats couldn’t have been more creative in their excuses for Princess Caroline ...

[nmh]

It’s ALL about the money.

She plays games to keep her money while favoring the taking of YOUR money so she is bailing out.

She knew ole Ted was dying ... that’s an excuse to have people feel sorry for her.

She knows her HYPOCRISY will anger people so it’s time to end the coffee clatch idea of replacing Hitlery.

[informavoracious]

The irony is, THEY can AFFORD to pay the taxes they gleefully impose on us but instead they shirk them. Democrat voters never seem to understand this when they fall for the scam of taxing the rich to spread the wealth.

"I wonder how many other people high up in the power structure are dodging huge amounts of taxes and getting away with it. I’ll bet it’s a lot more than we know."

Well, you don't stay rich by forking over to the government huge amounts of cash. And you're right, tax avoidance by the rich, hypocritical Democrats is massive. Federal and state tax legislation is often designed to get certain individuals off the tax hook.

[O6ret]

It's always the same three responses for people like this:

1. It was an unfortunate oversight.

2. I'm sorry (that I got caught).

3. Do as I say... not as I do.

[Salamander]

Too bad they didn’t vet Obummer with such intensity.

[nmh]

“tax problem and a potential nanny issue,”

Yes, not paying TAXES as she should an ILLEGAL Nannies and other employees. This hypocrisy is so typical of LIBERALS.

[jennyjenny]

After reading the article it sounds like she’s a little, uh, loopy, ya know?

[Doogle]

ya know

[Palladin]

The Kennedys are all crooks, no matter how high and mighty they may act.

The patriarch of the family was a war profiteer who sold arms to the Nazis.

I’ll be glad when I see the back of every Kennedy leaving public life!

[peace with honor]

oh my goodness, poor,poor Caroline

[nmh]

Neil Diamond must be very disappointed in her not running.

“Sweet Caroline ... “

Where it began

I can’t begin to knowin’

but then I know it’s growin’ strong.
Was in the spring

then spring became the summer.
Who’da believed you’d come along ?
Hands
touchin’ hands

reachin’ out

touchin’ me
touchin’ you.

Sweet Caroline

good times never seemed so good.
I’ve been inclined
to believe they never would.
But now I -

Look at the night
and it don’t seem so lonely

we fill it up with only two.
And when I hurt

hurtin’ runs off my shoulders

how can I hurt when holdin’ you ?
Warm
touchin’ warm

reachin’ out

touchin’ me
touchin’ you.

Sweet Caroline

good times never seemed so good.
I’ve been inclined
to believe they never would.
Oh
no
no.

Mind you,

Neil was a GROWN man

when he wrote this for LITTLE Caroline.

[Tarpon]

Well, yes, but I need to say it, she is also really dumb. Typical air headed liberal.

[freedumb2003]

Caroline was after the wrong job. She should have tried to be Secretary of the Treasury.

[daku]

then we need to know what these “issues” are

so we can prosecute her

[freedumb2003]

Well, yes, but I need to say it, she is also really dumb. Typical air headed liberal.

We just elected one of the stupidest men on the planet as POTUS and his wife (now the 1st lady) is dumber than dirt -- just read her doctor's "thesis." It reads like a 3rd grader got a hold of a small amount of data.

So a dumb liberal is pretty much not only standard but demanded.

[CindyDawg]

Well...that ought to have guaranteed her the seat then.

[ejonesie22]

Don’t you understand, taxes are for “you people”...

[slumber1]

I wonder how many other people high up in the power structure are dodging huge amounts of taxes and getting away with it.

All of them apparently

Well, that takes care of one useless American political dynasty!

At least two more to go... ...starting with the Bush disappointments.

[freeplancer]

I love how the butt biter George Stephanieoplis wrote an article saying it was for personal reasons only and that she would have got offered the job.

[sweet_diane]

No wonder the economy is in the tank! All the wealthy DimLibs aren’t paying their share!!!

[jonrick46]

This would have been a stumbling block in her ultimate pursuit: The President of the United States.

Not!

“Well...that ought to have guaranteed her the seat then. “

You've got a point. For a moment there I was thinking rationally. For Dems today, that is almost a requirement. Look at our new U.S. Treasurer. For some ODD reason, Turbo Tax got the numbers wrong. Can you imagine that! I suppose Turbo Tax imputed his numbers automatically ... and of course FOUR years of this UNDER paying of taxes was an “oversight”.

A simple, “I'm sorry” too care of that.

I can just imagine what he'll do as the U.S. Treasurer.

[SENTINEL]

Don’t think for a second that this tax dodging is to help them save a few bucks....What they want is blackmail power to hold over thier servants, so they can threaten deportation....this isn’t about tax money, it’s about HUMAN SLAVERY.

[Ticonderoga34]

The Kennedys are all crooks, no matter how high and mighty they may act.

The patriarch of the family was a war profiteer who sold arms to the Nazis.

I’ll be glad when I see the back of every Kennedy leaving public life!

Don't forget that the Kennedy family fortune was built on bootleg whiskey and inside trading.

A little tax and nanny problem ain't nothing compared to the dirty deals that old man Joe Kennedy did.

[wolfcreek]

Because she’s a Kennedy, she thought there would be no vetting? Elitist Deluxe

[StAntKnee]

Too bad they didn’t vet Obummer with (ANY) intensity.

There, fixed it.

Heck nobody vetted her. And she could still have had it. The fact she couldn’t deal with the most innocuous press pressure and botched the rollout indicates she doesn’t have the backbone. And probably not the smarts.

[oldbill]

Please don’t display that Sweet Caroline stuff.
They play that at every Red Sox game at Fenway and all those retarded Red Sox fans sing it out. The mental imbalances displayed there explain why they vote for Kennedy and Kerry and Frank.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Little people issues.

[dead]

a potential nanny issue

This being the Kennedys, the "nanny issue" could be anything.

That cousin of hers who skied into a tree raped his underaged baby sitter, and Ted's killed at least one chick.

With that kind of family history, she could have a "nanny problem" the way Ted Bundy had date problems.

[CT]

The NY Post has romantically linked Kennedy to NYT's Pinch Sulzberger. The Post again reported that again today, along with possible tax and nanny problems.

The NYT was silent today about Princess and Pinchy being tight. Just like they were when they mentioned a possible affair between McCain and a lobbyist.......oh, oops. I guess the Times does have a different standard.

[Tarpon]

I read the first horse’s a$$ thesis. A dumb racist, where everything is whitey’s fault. I wonder why she is a member of the party of the KKK, Jim Crow laws, segregation and lynchings. Kind of odd, wouldn’t you say.

[nmh]

Why do they play THAT song?

That makes no sense.

[Verginius Rufus]

That was Michelle's undergraduate senior thesis, not a doctoral dissertation. Not that that improves the quality of the writing, but at least Princeton University didn't award her a Ph.D. for that.

If only she had known Bill Ayers back then, she could have produced a better thesis.

[oh8eleven]

Caroline Kennedy faced tax 'problem'
Hmmm, and just who was it that said paying more in taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans?

[freedumb2003]

That was Michelle's undergraduate senior thesis, not a doctoral dissertation. Not that that improves the quality of the writing, but at least Princeton University didn't award her a Ph.D. for that.

What the heck is an undergraduate senior thesis? I graduated from college and don't remember such a thing.

But it doesn't change her atrocious grammar, her illogical leaps, her slicing and dicing of a very tiny survey, etc.

It read to me as "gimme an 'A' or you is a racists, honkey!"

[Verginius Rufus]

I graduated from college and didn't have to write a senior thesis either, but my understanding is that some colleges have them. I didn't go to an Ivy League school like Mrs. Obama.

In terms of content, it's probably no worse than a lot of theses that earn the writer an Ed.D. nowadays, based on sending out a pointless questionnaire. At least it was about something near and dear to her heart (how black students feel about Princeton).

Her husband is President of the United States and doesn't know how many states there are or how many predecessors he had in the office.

[Republic]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat award choice!!!! LOL!

[freedumb2003]

This would have been a stumbling block in her ultimate pursuit: The President of the United States.

Not!

If you don't have to be a citizen and you don't have to ever have been a decision-maker and you don't have to be intelligent, then POTUS is pretty much in everyone on the planet's grasp.

[oldbill]

I don’t know why they play it either. But it’s the Red Sox, and they are obviously low class. At least the Yankees play Kate Smith and God Bless America.

"Federal and state tax legislation is often designed to get certain individuals off the tax hook."

exactly........
