Caroline Has the Idealism For the Job
by Bryce Martin


Dispense with the formalities and give Caroline Kennedy the Senate seat in New York. Posthaste. None of this is she qualified malarkey. Look around. Who could not do any political job at the top level on an equal par as those drawing paychecks today. There is no question mark there. The terribly obvious answer does not require that cane with the dot at the bottom.

That is not the reason she should be given the job, however. It's because she is a flaming liberal in a flaming liberal state. She recently gave all the credentials needed for the job when she cited the terrorist attacks of 9-11 as her reason for wanting to get into "public service." Enough said. The idealism of it all takes my breath away. She will be able to lead us in a new direction by talking our enemies into becoming our friends. Forget about securing our borders, improving intelligence sources and all that. Let's talk ourselves free and all hold hands.

New York people sure are lucky. Most of the rest of us though will continue to hold out hope for some real direction.
