On Thursday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Julie Chen came to the defense of would-be New York Senator Caroline Kennedy, who has faced criticism for her lack of experience: "This is so unfair. I mean, look, the system is set up the way it's set up and Governor Paterson decides and that's it. Leave her alone, everyone." That comment followed a report by correspondent Meg Oliver, in which Kennedy avoided tough questions from the press: "She quickly got a taste of the pressure that comes with seeking a high-profile political office...questions mostly went unanswered."

Chen was not so quick to defend Sarah Palin from critics during the campaign.

I heard a Kennedy sycophant say the Princess is a mother, as another qualification for Her Highness to be appointed to the seat.

Contrast with Palin.

This is a taste of how they want it - an untouchable, unanswerable, and unaccountable layer of Congressmen, Senators, Judges, and likeminded royalty. And when I mention ‘they’ you can include a good number of republicans.

Seems to me that has become the single most effective campaign practice by marxist candidates these days. “Don’t criticize us. That’s just unfair.”

It worked for Zero.

I hate to be cruel but, looking at her picture, this whole thing reminds me of Caligula’s horse.

That was her cousin Kerry,Andrew Cuomo’s ex. She said that
women are raped and abused in this country, so we have to
make Caroline a senator. This is their logic!

We've gone from:

"How dare you question my patriotism?" (Kerry 2004)
to
"How dare you question someone's qualifications?" (Obama 2008 / Kennedy 2008)

Boy the Dems get off easy.
