After saying out of the public eye for most of her adult life, why does Caroline Kennedy suddenly want to jump into the political spotlight?
After remaining out of the public eye for nearly her entire adult life, exactly why did Caroline Kennedy decide that now was the time to jump into the political spotlight? Well that's precisely the question the New York press has been struggling to have answered from what appears to be one very reluctant Ms. Kennedy.…

Jet, I'm not saying that you're inhuman, just that no one runs for office with the intention of turning a possible win into a loss. Also, that Dread's idea of a Machiavellian plan would require an incredible confidence that an electoral loss would translate into a long-term benefit. Remember that politicians suffer from Blagoesque vanity and determination.

APPOINT CAROLINE KENNEDY! Man, just her name mention in this article has sure produced a long, manic thread.
WOW! That's our girl! With that amount of sublime power, who else would you want? As a New York senator, she would still be representing my interests out west here. Finally, a politician in my demographic (51 y.o.) I can find some sort of identity with.
I a big view of USA politics, this is part of a needed change for the USA. Caroline is very qualified, in ways you cannot imagine...

The rumor is that Princess Caroline will be endorsed on Friday by the Mary Jo Kopechne Foundation for Safe Driving and Scuba Diving..
Is it me or does Princess Caroline have an adams apple? Very disturbing...you know...

Christopher, either 78 is proof positive, or H&C is guilty of plagarizing the jerk's style completely

Princess Caroline? Who are you talking about? Our Princess Caroline or Princess Caroline of Monaco?
Oh, Monaco Caroline is hosting a fund raising gala for the Smash Rolls Royce off a Cliff Foundation. Our gal is doing the Kopechne Foundation work. I can't wait till the opening she will host for the Joe Kennedy Rum Runners Museum. Caroline will get a lot of NASCAR support from that...WHAT!? where is my campaign management brain going???
OK, Happy New Year everyone... 2009, the changes may be bigger than you think...
smooches xo,

Yeah, so publicly active, those Princess gals.

The chances of an intelligent conversation taking place on this website has now plumetted. I plan to be gone a while...

Carolyn K has remained politically astute. Hillary was the Prez's wife. What position had she held which made her qualified? Answer... None, but she remained politically engaged and had relationships and experience, though not official, which made her an asset. What other woman in the party would be such an asset?
What we know is that a large part of great leadership is getting people to do what you want because of good relationship building. She's got that in the bag. She knows people and they want to know her. Simple.

No I did not it was a mistake.

Psblo, your list in #55 reads pretty much like the corporate sponsorship list for any large charity or public service institution. I did a little checking. Many of those same sponsors appear on the sponsor list for the Metropolitan Opera. Is it a conspiracy to turn us all into tragically murderous clowns like Pagliacci?
Blackstone sponsors WGBH in Boston. Does that mean that Sesame Street is NWO propaganda?
Actually, Blackstone only had a Rothschild on the board for about a year and isn't some sort of front for them as you claim.
And OMG, I notice Covington and Burling on the list. My uncle works there and I did a summer internship there. I must be a pawn of the NWO too.
Utter ridiculousness as usual.

There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that Caroline backed out because they told her she'd have to learn to speak without using the phrase, "You know."
90 - Mark Eden
I heard she quit shortly after running across Just One Neuron's devastating critique right here on BC.
91 - Clavos
That certainly was a factor, Mark...

Looks like the dude fucked up again...unable to restrain his anti-jet bullshit over in another thread. Picture the poor guy carrying his lantern in search of another ISP and handle.

Mark, he always turns up in the most unlikely of places. Like a wooden penny.

It's a shame really. As something of a troll myself, I enjoy his work -- until one of his obsessions carries him over the edge.
95 - Roger Nowosielski
I do too; but right after Jet's comment, it was too much. I guess his/her thing is try to outrage. To each his own, I guess.
96 - Mark Eden
The two of them have a -- history --
97 - Roger Nowosielski
I imagine that. Old love never dies. He just had me look something up in the Wikipedia; so I told him that his existence wasn't altogether useless. Actually, not a dumb person at all.

Doe "he" constitute a "personal" attack?

(Looks around nervously...) You could be right. We'll have to let Dreadful sort it out.

lol Mark :-)

Cindy/Mark,
Notice previous comments got deleted; so Chris &/Doc have their hands full. If you'd want to use this material, to write a book or something - like I did, remember - then you'd have to fill in the gaps.

The only book I could write would have to be a collection of Dan(Miller)'s humorous posts.

"Parenthetically Dan"

Ha! Great title!

I guess everybody's asleep now. Roger and out!

Caroline bailed out. That is cool. She sussed the whole thing out casually. She figured she just wasn't ready or the intensity of the job yet.
That is our Caroline, she checked into it all while deflecting everyone's b.s. attitude. She made a good decision for herself.
All these maniacs wanting to attack (for sake of their ego) her for taxes or housekeepers or Uncle Ted or whatever, she is just laughing at all of you. If she was totally driven to serve, such things would be a non-issue, she would have dealt with it.
I just love her casual manner thru it all.
