Um...should Caroline be a senator?

Since I can't afford handlers, I had to do some soul-searching when I started appearing on radio shows, and one thing that crossed my mind was that I must not ramble on and say "um...y'know...." and throw away ramblings like that.

Caroline Kennedy wants New York Governor David Patterson to appoint her to Hillary Clinton's soon to be vacated US Senate seat, and well, um...she said "um" and "y'know" a lot.

In an eerie flashback to her uncle Ted's disastrous 1979 Roger Mudd interview that was supposed to catapult him to the presidency--the Massachusetts senator was unable to say why he wanted to be president--Caroline couldn't come up with a credible reason why she should be a senator.

    Caroline Kennedy hasn't had any
    experience, in any public office
    at all. It probably sounded great
    to her at the time.

    It would be interesting to see if
    Caroline Kennedy pursues this
    quest for Hillary's senate seat or
    she hangs it up, and moves on to
    something else. Who knows, she may
    be looking to run for governor of
    Illinois in 2011?

    She makes Sarah Palin look really, really good.
