Well, at least she's prettier than HRC...

other than that, I guess it'll give her something to do with her free time in between mixed doubles at the Country Club, mani/pedis and mah jong. No word yet on how much she'll pay for the seat.

Caroline Kennedy to seek Clinton's Senate seat

ALBANY, N.Y (AP) - A person close to the discussions says Caroline Kennedy will seek the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Hillary Clinton.
Kennedy has told Democratic Gov. David Paterson she wants the job should Clinton be confirmed as secretary of state for President-elect Barack Obama.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity Monday because neither Kennedy nor Paterson have acknowledged she is seeking the position.

If appointed by Paterson, Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, would hold the seat once occupied by her late uncle, Robert F. Kennedy.

Other Democrats seeking Paterson's nod include New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.

She's not that much prettier - IMO.

She's not that much prettier - IMO.

But she's cankle free. So she's got that going for her. Which is nice.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Heh...another Kennedy vs. Cuomo battle...at least it's not in the divorce court this time.

[soonerscuba]

Oof. If her last name was Smith would we be having this conversation? If Hillary (and the president, for that matter) had different names, they could not dream of the positions they are in, but at least they won an election.

Let's not kid ourselves, this country is moving toward aristocracy.

Scubey, I think we have been there, more or less, since John Quincy Adams was elected president and sworn in by his father John Adams.

in other news, WJC is now asking, "Why not Chelsea?" Srsly. And nevermind the fact she's not yet of the minimum constitutional age for the Senate. srsly.

These people....

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

SHOCK and AWE!

[JohnnyMack]

I don't understand why she should be a Senator.

Certainly, the presence of cankles doesn't prevent one from governing effectively and wisely. However, the propensity to embellish stories (Bosnia), lie about current and past events (Sir Edmund Hillary), and obstruct justice (Rose Law Firm billings) does bring into question some measure of ethics and integrity.

I don't understand why she should be a Senator.

Same qualifications as HRC, she once lived in the White House.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Don't you need cankles for SoS? Doesn't Albright have them as well, not sure about Rice...

Reports indicate Bloomberg has ordered the governor of NY to give Caroline the gig, on condition that she dump the Schlossberg married name and be Senator Caroline Kennedy.
