Where is the devastating SNL skit lampooning Ms. Kennedy? I guess I won't hold my breath, you know.

Crusader| 1.22.09 @ 2:23PM

Ruth, I have a great idea for a Kennedy skit on SNL, unfortunately if I post if amspec will delete it. :(

Why is that, Crusader? Could you just whisper it, maybe AmSpec won't hear.

What a perfect fiasco! Talk about not ready for prime time. She must have thought they'd just hand it to her on a silver platter. PLUS she apparently has a housekeeper-tax issue. What is it with these people??? Go back to throwing teas and museum openings Caroline - and Schlossberg. Don't need the Kennedy name now. :)

Here's some good dish for you:

*****
The real reasons?

The New York Post's Haberman and Dicker pin down the subject of much buzz in New York today, with the airbrushed version of Kennedy's withdrawal having survived some four hours:

In a stunning revelation, a source close to Gov. David Paterson insisted this afternoon that the governor "had no intention" of picking Caroline Kennedy for New York's vacant senate seat - because she was "mired" in an issue over taxes, her nanny and possibly her marriage.

Kennedy was "mired in some potentially embarrassing personal issues," the source said, citing tax liabilities and worker compensation liabilities connected to the employment of a nanny.

The source also said the state of her marriage may have presented a problem as well.

"She has a tax problem that came up in the vetting and a potential nanny issue," the soruce said. "And reporters are starting to look at her marriage more closely," the soruce continued, refusing to provide any specifics.

Gossip columns have reported for more than a year that Kennedy's marriage to Ed Schlossberg is essentially over, and the gossip site Gawker.com has reported rumors that she's been linked to New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger.

The spin, recall, was that she had the job in her pocket, then withdrew over her uncle's illness.

Caroline's dad, JFK, and her uncle, RFK were more right-wing than some RINOs we have today. Jack lowered taxes by a bigger percentage than
Ron or W., and attacked Cuba. Bobby jailed union leaders and uncovered union financing of old Las Vegas. How about that? With her Mom Jackie and brother John-John both sadly gone, she could have carried on - if only she were qualified and better prepared - she would have been a storybook favorite. Remember, JFK and RFK as Democrats were about where middle-of- the-road Republicans are today. The Dems lurched way unreal LEFT - and the rest of the K-family has disintegrated alonside.

So she's sleeping around.

Which means she was angling for a Senate seat legally married to one man, while simultaneously sleeping with the guy who is taking the NY Times down a rat hole.

There's a name for this of course.

It's called decadence.

Degeneracy.

This is now beyond another Kennedy behaving in what's par for the course for them, in a classless fashion. This is now UTTER DEGENERACY.

She's a disgrace to Irish America, and to Roman Catholic Americans.

Tax problems? Nanny problems? Geithner showed that those don't matter.

Sleeping around? That hasn't been an issue since Bill and Monica.

No, I think the real scandal is that somewhere, sometime in her past, she said something nice about someone named Bush. That would be the only thing the left would consider unsupportable.
