Maureen Dowd of the New York Times fires the opening salvo in Camelot's Second Crusade: That is, go back and destroy the victors the same way you were gonna right before they destroyed you.  Kinda like this wholly unself-evident death threat from Camelot via the New York Post:

"The governor's going to pay for this," said a well-placed Democrat. "Ted is furious. The family is furious. The Kennedys are now against the governor."  

Someone should ask Mayor Mike and Deputy Kevin how many 'umms' and 'ya knows' Caroline Kennedy could--theoretically speaking, of course--produce should she be forced to filibuster something which she knew nothing about?  Or even filibuster something she should know a lot about, like say, how come she wants to be selected a senator?  

Just joking, Kevin.  

But kind of not, Kevin. Because my impression of what a senator does most is speak and make articulate and compelling arguments to one's colleagues in order to get something done--kind of like convincing people that one (Caroline) would make a great senator, and as thus, should be selected over someone whom already does this extremely well, like say, Kirsten Gillibrand.

It looks like Ellis Henican hit the nail on the head with Sunday’s column about Caroline (Kennedy) Schlossberg’s candidacy (note the title, "How THEY, Elected A Kennedy").  From the beginning, it seemed like something with the Caroline (Kennedy) Schlossberg nomination was fishy and Ellis did a good job of pointing out what it was.

...and the Mayor for Political Aspirations want David Paterson to hurry up and get with their non-partisan, good-government program for selecting Caroline Kennedy a US Senator:

"The governor should make a decision reasonably quickly because this is just getting out of control," Bloomberg said. "Everybody's focusing on the wrong things."

I'm sure the governor appreciates the advice, Kevin.

...is that it's in New York, where they come out of the weeds after you.  This includes ill-advised lunches with cleaned-up snakes in the grass, a tabloid wolf-pack, hostile natives, and various and sundry knee-cappers.

When someone has a press conference, and the headline is just that she held a press conference, is that person really ready to represent our state in the United State Senate?

In contrast, last week, Andrew Cuomo held a press conference, and the headlines were "Cuomo proposes consolidation of local governments".

Ladies and Gentlemen, please let's not support the appointment of someone without substance. The issues are too important and the stakes are too high to have a political novice representing our interests.
