"Princess" Caroline Kennedy

My mother has lived many years on this planet. For many of those years she worshiped at the alter of the Kennedy's.
Not seriously, but she, like so many others of her generation were inspired by the handsome young John F. Kennedy and his glamorous wife Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.
She brought me up with the same admiration for Kennedy and Camelot.
In the past few years though, since Ted Kennedy has been leading the charge to give away more and more of our hard earned tax dollars to the welfare set, lets just say our fondness for all things Kennedy has really waned.
The last shreds of any affection for the family went down with John-John when he crashed into the sea. So handsome was John Jr., such a waste his death at young age.
Back in the summer I read an item on NYPOST's Page Six about how if Hillary Clinton didn't win the Presidency she would retire from the Senate and then the seat would be turned over to Robert Kennedy Jr., whose father Robert Sr. held the seat from 1965-68. Evidently it was a done-deal. Well, apparently not.
I guess "Uncle" Ted's illness has thrown a wrench into the well laid plans of Bobby Jr.
Now Camelot's last living member, "princess" Caroline, who by the way has never had a real job other than writing a few books, thinks that seat should be hers for the asking.
From what I can find out on the nets "Uncle" Ted is pushing this and telling Bobby Jr. to wait.
So Bobby Jr., told NY Governor Paterson to take his name out of the running.
There are a few holdouts still in the running for the seat who aren't bowing to the "princess" by taking themselves out. Andrew Cuomo is one that I have heard who is still in the running.
So anyway now that you have the back story here's the rest of what you need to know.
Miss Penelope in her infinite wisdom has pondered the possibilities and has come to the conclusion that "princess" Caroline will be running for president whenever "Uh-bama's" term is up.
I won't go into the how I think that "princess" Caroline is GROSSLY unqualified to be a Senator or even a President. Let's see-never held a "real job".
Folk's holding a "real job" is a BIG qualification in my book. You see unless you have ever worked for someone, getting paid minimum wage or more, and seeing your paycheck cut for everything under the sun, you just don't have a clue as to what the common people are going through.
Some are going to argue that "princess" Caroline does have real life experience, she's raised three kids, and works to raise money for various charities in the NY area.
I'm a stay at home mom so you aren't going to get an argument from me about raising kids, not being a real job, BECAUSE IT IS THE HARDEST JOB IN THE WORLD.
However "princess" Caroline DID NOT have to worry about the same things the most of the rest of us do. Get real, the woman has several trust funds as do her children. She didn't have to worry about paying the bills like the rest of us.
She's written a couple of books about privacy laws. She is, from all accounts, incredibly intelligent, but so far she has lived a pretty sheltered life.
She and "UH-bama" are cut from the same cloth in my opinion. Two highly intelligent people, who have not a clue what it is to have a real job or real problems. They can think pretty thoughts about the way the world is supposed to be, but probably have NOT ONE IOTA of common sense.

Just remember Miss Penelope told you first, when "princess" throws her hat in the presidential ring.
