HOUSE OF LORDS

So, rumor has it that Caroline Kennedy wants Hillary’s Senate seat. Wait a minute, the same people who are thrilled by this prospect, were the ones who claimed Sarah Palin was not qualified for VP.

What qualifies Kennedy? Nothing that I can see. Oh yes, she is a Kennedy, so it must be her devine hereditary right to serve in the US Senate. Democrats are like the Loyalists of the American Revolution, they love all things royal. Since New York was the center of the Loyalist camp during the Revolution, I’m sure they will love having a “Princess” as their Senator.

The Loyalists can spend endless hours expounding on her virtues, run old JFK tapes and cry their eyes out over Camelot lost. Of course her hair and clothes, or any other criticism will be strictly off limits. That is only reserved for the low born like Sarah Palin. I can’t wait to hear the Katie C. tear jerker interview questions. It will probably be all about legacy and nothing about representing the little people of NY.

And it is so convenient, that the “Princess” will not have to run for the office. She would be appointed or in this case, anointed might be a better word. That’s a relief. She won’t have to come into contact with the great unwashed masses.

Excuse me if I don’t get all excited over the prospect of yet another royal Kennedy lording it over us with that special self-righteous attitude born of a lifetime of unearned privilege.

Perhaps she would be better suited to the House of Lords.
