Caroline Kennedy's up coming appointment to the Senate is odd indeed. Sarah Palin, a legally elected governor of oil rich Alaska, was mocked for not having experience.
Sarah Palin has been involved in politics for decades and was mayor of her home town. And now, Caroline Kennedy, who may not have voted in a national election her entire life, is regarded by the Democratic Party elite as the perfect person for a New York Senate seat. Wonders never cease.
The probable appointment of Caroline Kennedy, the 51-year-old daughter of former President John Kennedy, to fill Secretary-of-State nominee Hillary Clinton’s New York Senate seat is both laughable and yet a parable for our bankrupt times.
Her financial security is due to either inheritance or marriage; there is no evidence of a self-employed stellar legal or business career.
But there is plenty of evidence that Ms. Kennedy reflects the current Democratic Party’s obsession with celebrity and Hollywood-like imagery—as we see from the recent politicking of everyone from Oprah to Sean Penn, the Senate run of comedian Al Franken, and the messianic cult that surrounds Barack Obama, from his vero possumus Latin seal to his mass rallies with Greek temple backdrops.
