Caroline Kennedy for Senator
First, I could give a whit whether or not Caroline Kennedy becomes the next Junior Senator from New York, or if Andrew Cuomo gets the job instead. It’s all the same…they’ll be expected to step in line with Suck Chumer (oops, did I use my “outside” voice?) and vote the way he does. But, here’s what kills me about recent coverage. People ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE, are questioning her lack of experience in politics as a potential reason to not allow her the post.
How blatantly ridiculous.
Explain this to me. What has all the current “experience” in Congress gotten us? Blame Bush all you want, but the myriad policies drafted by our “experienced” group of politicians has netted us a monstrous economic outlook, car companies failing, banks destroyed, and a middle class that is about to create an even greater wealth rift as it is expected to shoulder the burden for both the rich and the shiftless.
Experience? Please. I’d dare to venture that her LACK of experience is exactly what is needed. As we continually elect representatives OVER AND OVER again, they turn more and more into power brokers that break their vows faster than Mariano Rivera breaks bats. Of course, we could actually point to Caroline’s “Uncle Teddy” in this instance, but that would be too easy. Kind of like maneuvering a car successfully over a bridge. Just watch the yellow lines and drive straight.
But I digress.
I think that anyone who is an experienced politician probably needs to get a new job…they sure as hell can’t do the one they have.
