She's A Kennedy Damnit!

There's been increasing speculation that Caroline Kennedy is interested in being appointed to Hillary Clinton's recently vacated senate seat. The New York Times is reporting today that her interest is now "official."

I for one am not really excited about this at all. According to the story she has been wrestling "with whether to give up what has been a lifetime of avoiding the spotlight." Let me help you out, if you want to give that up and serve government, more power too you, but how about you run for your local school board? How about running for the House? What, other than the fact that her last name is "Kennedy" qualifies her for being in the senate? On NPR the reporter cited the following facts regarding her qualifications: She's a lawyer, she's smart, she has written books, she is pretty. Really?

Color me unimpressed.
