The Caroline Kennedy Fiasco

So, she's finally off the list, but not necessarily because she's unqualified...and not before the Dems flaunt their dumb side for several weeks.

It's astonishing, really. It's a good thing the Republicans are around to make the Dems look good. Without the GOP backdrop, these guys really look like a bunch of idiots. I mean...Caroline Kennedy?? In the Senate????

Sure, it's hard to get as worked up as we should about this with memories of the laughably/dangerously unqualified Sarah Palin still so fresh. But just because the other guys are dumber doesn't make us smart. The fact that Kennedy was even being considered is an embarassment. Hardly the biggest...or tenth-biggest...or hundredth-biggest...embarassment of the last eight years...but an embarassment nonetheless.
