Cameflop?


When born with a silver spoon in your mouth, expect some scrutiny. Also, stop whining about the media. It's unseemly.

Case in point: Caroline Kennedy, who I suspect lounges around marble-tiled halls on Martha's Vineyard waiting for governors to anoint her a senator. Take a look at this Foxnews story, which gets to the gem of an interview with Kennedy about two-thirds of the way through:

"Have you guys ever thought about writing for, like, a woman's magazine or something?" she asked, to which the reporter countered by asking what she has against women's magazines?
"Nothing at all, but I thought you were the crack political team here," she answered.

A reporter had asked Kennedy to remember the moment she decided she wanted to be a senator, and for some reason that ticked Kennedy off. For me, it shows that she's not ready for the big time. Asking her to recall when she made the decision wasn't exactly a hard-hitting question. If that rubbed her the wrong way, I wonder what subcommittee meetings in the bowels of the Senate will do.

I think Kennedy has about as much experience in office as a third-grader in a calculus class. New York needs a senator that will work for them, not someone with a famous name who for some reason dislikes "Harper's Bazaar."
