Caroline Kennedy Inherits Hillary's NY Senate Seat

ABC News is reporting that Gov. David Paterson of New York has offered Caroline Kennedy the soon-to-be-vacant Senate seat of Secretary of State designate Hillary Clinton. It will make for an unusual transition: a president's daughter replaces a president's wife, as Caroline becomes the second of her family to claim a Senate seat in New York by virtue of her bloodline and the fourth overall. A fifth Kennedy will soon inherit her Uncle Ted's Senate seat in Massachusetts. There are in fact more Kennedy cousins than there are Senate seats. This may be easily fixed by an amendment to the Constitution (the "Kennedy Packing Amendment") or a friendly game of musical chairs. Caroline, of course, takes her seat (or should that be throne?) without opposition. It would be crass to speak of qualifications when her name alone is her only one. Let us just say that her resumé makes Barack Obama's look positively presidential. In fact, it was Caroline Kennedy's endorsement of Obama, which preceded her uncle's, that was the signal to the Democratic establishment to abandon Hillary and embrace this "adopted Kennedy," who, in her father's White House, would have been a footman or cook.

Earlier this year, we commented on the significance of her endorsement and noted that Obama was not the first presidential candidate adopted by Caroline, though from the reaction of the media one would have supposed that a Hollywood starlet had just raided an African orphanage:

Caroline Kennedy Anointed Al Gore As JFK's Successor in 2000

Caroline Kennedy's endorsement of Barack Obama has been commented upon by virtually every blog in the nation. One would think that her father himself dictated it to her by means of a Ouija board. It is, in fact, nothing more than the opinion of one individual. Except for her father's hagiographers her opinion would have no more weight in this race than Amy Carter's. But not all the presidents' children are created equal. For some reason Onassis-heiress Caroline, who has done nothing noteworthy in her life except sell all of her parent's keepsakes at public auction from her mother's wedding ring to her father's rocking chair, is regarded by many Democrats as their party's Holy Grail. They would have elevated her late brother to the White House on the basis of his "Y" chromosome even if he failed the bar exam a dozen times. As JFK's sole surviving daughter she doesn't meet the requirements of the Salic law of succession, but is nonetheless a powerful Roman matron who has the power to anoint future presidents, or so she and Democratic operatives seem to believe. This time around her conceit is actually being taken seriously by those in a position to effect the change she wants.

Someone said (actually it was a blogger who ordinarily writes about working terriers) that "Caroline Kennedy has never said this before. It is the kind of thing that you say only once in your life." But not if you are Caroline Kennedy. In 2000, she endorsed Al Gore with just as much canned passion and I would say enthusiasm if you take into consideration that it was Al Gore she was endorsing:

"I know that when my brother, John, and I were growing up, hardly a day went by when someone didn’t come up to us and say, "your father changed my life. I went into public service because he asked me. I take great pride in knowing that one of those that he inspired to enter public service is the next vice president of the United States, Joe Lieberman."Endorsement Speech for Al Gore at the 2000 Democratic Convention

"Over the years, I’ve been deeply moved by the people who’ve told me they wished they could feel inspired and hopeful about America the way people did when my father was president. This sense is even more profound today. That is why I am supporting a presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama." Endorsement of Barack Obama in The New York Times, January 27, 2008

***

"I was lucky enough to grow up in a world where adults taught by example. They dreamed impossible dreams, yet they fought hard each day to make those dreams come true. They taught us the importance of faith and family and how those values must be woven together into lives of purpose and meaning. That is what my husband Ed and I want for our three children. That is what Al and Tipper Gore want for their children." — About Gore in 2000

"I have spent the past five years working in the New York City public schools and have three teenage children of my own. There is a generation coming of age that is hopeful, hard-working, innovative and imaginative. But too many of them are also hopeless, defeated and disengaged. As parents, we have a responsibility to help our children to believe in themselves and in their power to shape their future. Senator Obama is inspiring my children, my parents’ grandchildren, with that sense of possibility."About Obama in 2008

Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg's speech in support of Al Gore was aired in prime time and is remembered, if at all, because she revealed in it that Al Gore's parents had played matchmakers to her parents. In a way, JFK played matchmaker to Obama's parents, since as senator he drafted the legislation that brought Kenyan exchange students to the U.S., including Obama Sr., who met Barack's mother at the University of Hawaii. Caroline's father would no doubt be surprised that his organic heir and continuator is Obama Jr. (or leastwise his second organic heir and continuator).

  6. Whatever happened to democracy?
    It's just an irony that the democratic party is called democratic.
    Don't the people elect senators anymore?
    Or is this turning into a castroite nightmare and people are so comfortable asleep that they do not want to be waken up?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Last time I checked, every aspiring senator needs to comply with an in-state residence requisit.
    How can a person be the first lady of California and reside in New York as the same time and be annointed as senator? Why don't they annoint her also as the Obamatron succesor already?
    Oh sorry, I forgot... the Kennedys have Messianic powers too.... it's call omnipresence. She can be here too carting me off to the Kennedy Klan Kompound for an inquisitorial trial for doubting of their powers and divine nature!

    Hey Mat do not forget Puerto Rico , it needs a senator and some representatives if they are ever granted statehood

    ReplyDelete
  10. The New Progressive Party of Puerto Rico (NPP) (Spanish: Partido Nuevo Progresista de Puerto Rico, PNP) is a political party that campaigns for Puerto Rican statehood. It currently holds supermajorities in the Puerto Rico House of Representatives and the Senate of Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico's sole non-voting seat in Congress, as well as 48 of Puerto Rico's 78 mayoral seats, and the seat of Governor following the November 4, 2008 General Elections.

    Those who follow the NPP ideology are called penepés or estadistas ("statehooders"). Individuals from the NPP may have alliances with either the national Republican Party or the Democratic Party, unlike the Popular Democratic Party, or PDP, which has strong identification with the Democratic Party. In its beginning, the majority of the NPP leaders were also members of the Republican Party, yet the last two elected NPP governors, Carlos Romero Barceló, and Dr. Pedro Rosselló González, are registered Democrats. The Resident Commissioner, Hon. Luis G. Fortuño on the other hand, caucuses with the Republicans and serves as Puerto Rico's Republican National Committeeman. House Speaker José Aponte is a Republican while Senate President Kenneth McClintock is Puerto Rico's Democratic National Committeeman. Luis Fortuño is the current president of the party after defeating Dr. Pedro Rosselló González for the seat and gubernatorial nomination in a party primary on March 9, 2008.

    Back to DC
    I've been contacted for a possible official trip to Washington DC - the details of which I'll reveal as soon as I can - and, not only am I once again incredibly honored, but humbled. Stuff like this happens and it astounds me. When I say that five years ago, when I started this here blog, I would never have believed the impact it has had, on so many and im my life specifically, believe me. I am amazed.

    I cant give much by way of details yet, but trust me when I say this:it's incredibly important and Im honored to have been considered for participation.

    Now, of course, comes the pat I hate: if ever there was a time to drop a few bucks in the Babalu piggy bank, it's now. I know times are tight and Christmas is just around the corner, but if you can, please consider making a small donation by clicking on the donation button on the sidebar, to help me offset the cost of this trip. I promise to do my very best to represent you, Cuba and her people.

  41. Caroline Kennedy's resume (from wikipedia):
    B.A. from Harvard University
    J.D. from Columbia Law School
    Wrote two books with Ellen Alderman:
    * In Our Defense: The Bill of Rights In Action (1990)
    * The Right to Privacy (1995)
    Edited several books, wrote one on the Kennedy family.
    Currently President of the Kennedy Library Foundation, a director of both the Commission on Presidential Debates and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and Honorary Chairman of the American Ballet Theatre. She is also an adviser to the Harvard Institute of Politics, a living memorial to her father.

    The Senate would not only be getting another Kennedy and all the stuff that goes along with that but also Jackie's daughter, A girl raised at arms length fromt he rest of the clan. She would probably be the first Kennedy to serve in the Senate or House who has not been to rehab since Bobby back in 1968. She would be great, if she wants it.

  48. Pray this area is normally the proper location to write this... I just hoped to just let anyone inside the forum who resides in Down Under know about a fantastic top quality audio visual equipment world wide web site entitled Ordio. I found them quite by mistake when I was searching for [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Sennheiser Headphone[/url] and it just so happened that these guys had the most competitive prices available. Not only that but they are genuinely helpful and even followed up on my investment to ensure I was still satisfied and content. They buy out sizable inventories of high end audio equipment so that they can seriously break the price down. Certainly give their website a look-see if you're browsing for some home electronics.
