Kennedy Never Had A Shot: Source (tax, nanny, marital issues)
NY Post ^ | January 22, 2009 | Fredric Dicker

Posted on 01/22/2009 12:22:44 PM PST by kregger1

In a stunning revelation, a source close to Gov. David Paterson insisted this afternoon that the governor "had no intention" of picking Caroline Kennedy for New York's vacant senate seat - because she was "mired" in an issue over taxes, her nanny and possibly her marriage.

With that baggage, maybe Secretary of the Treasury would have been a more appropriate position for her.

I doubt any of these issues will be a problem when she gets appointed to Ted’s seat in MA.......

Good grief, governor, what did you expect?

She’s a Kennedy, a dhimmicrat, with the typical disregard for morality, honesty, and integrity. As such, she’s a guaranteed idiot still spending the grandfather’s felonious dough.

Ah, I wouldn’t, you know, hit *that* even with a borrowed, ah, you know...

I bet even her Uncle Teddy wouldn’t, you know, hit it even after, ah, a six-hour whiskey bender.

That’s what I was thinking -
there is no way she wouldn’t be confirmed.

She’s a democRat, with a democRat congress, and to top it off, she’s a Kennedy, an elite. She would have sailed through with a free lunch to boot.

Tax issues? Nanny issues? What’s the problem? Doesn’t the Princess know that Democrats are exempt from the laws? Only Republicans or Conservatives are subject to the law.

Silly rabbit!

The New York Daily News reports that “Gov. David A. Paterson said Caroline Kennedy ‘impressed’ him in her interview for the U.S. Senate seat.... “She didn’t eliminate herself in the meeting,” he said. (Jan. 13)

WTVH-TV updated 5:52 p.m. ET, Fri., Jan. 2, 2009 Two people close to governor David Paterson say he will choose Caroline Kennedy to fill the Senate seat being vacated by Hillary Clinton.

She sounds like a match for an Obama position.

She really sounds perfect for New York politics, so I have a feeling there is something more to it. I heard that he will appoint Cuomo, who wants to run against him for Governor in a couple years, so Cuomo really doesn't want it and Patterson doesn't want Cuomo in the race 'cause he'll definitely lose then.

Myself, I think she realized it would be more work than play. It would take more time than she’d ever devoted to anything, and it would wreck any semblance of privacy she’d built up. It was a toy idea, born in her shallow excitement over how Obama’s talent for speechifying reminded her of Camelot days gone.

Along related lines —getcher barf bags ready — the cover of the Boston Herald has a picture of BHO and Michelle with the lead title “Obamalot”.

I agree. The hittage factor just isn't there. Although the FReeper whose name starts with "L" might just take one for the troops.

“Marital issues?”

Maybe hubby was schtupping the nanny and Caroline “forgot” to pay her taxes.

I immediately began to wonder about potential “marital issues” once Caroline Kennedy’s name came up as a potential successor and Caroline Schlossberg Kennedy vanished into thin air.

She said early on her children were encouraging her to “get involved”,they urged her to work for Obama and probably to get her to Washington so they could party on without her intervening.

That has always surprised me about her. Her mother, father and brother were all physically very attractive, but she is not. Maybe if she ate a few cheeseburgers and kept her mouth shut.

For the people who live to profile, but insist they don’t, there is only one perfect choice -they can’t help themselves. You can not get closer than this without resorting to genetic cloning:

NY Congressman Kirsten Gillibrand (D, NY)

And there’s more...they have the same career arc. Hillary is a reformed Walmart Lawyer; Gillibrand is a reformed Big Tobacco Lawyer.

If the shoe fits perfectly...

Ha! It's fun watching Gov. Magoo trying to furiously backpedal on this, having his lackeys leak that it's Sweet Caroline's fault! I haven't had this much fun since Blago appointed Burris!

Marriage issues? Since when do Democrats care about marriage? If she had merely left someone to drown, she’d be just fine I guess?
