Why do I get the feeling she also could have invented the Internet with Al Gore? :-) It just doesn't matter very much, except to point out the obvious nepotism and elitism, which is the hallmark of the Democrat party. I suspect just about anyone living on Park Avenue is qualified, as long as they're liberal and have given lots of money to the Democrat party. Heck, with what's going on in Illinios, it's obvious that gifts and graff are the qualifications for appointment to Senate, so why don't we just make it open and put the Senate Seat on EBAY to the highest liberal bidder? The press lambasted Sarah Palin for being unqualified, dug into every nook and cranny of her life looking for a negative spin, edited interviews and basically looked the other way when someone hacked into her personal email account. Now Debutant Caroline Kennedy is qualified. For someone like me, you gotta love the irony of it all.

Maybe in SPITE of being a Kennedy, she has something to offer. Just a thought. And maybe she doesn't. What objective evidence has she given us that she is qualified, much less interested in serving in politics? What bothers me, and most others I think, is that this is an appointment. It's nepotism pure and simple.
