caroline kennedy is more qualified than the twits i mentioned
intelligence used to be important in america's leaders
you demonstrating your lack in this essential quality does not make you a winner


you're getting soft
:melt:
I'm getting soft?You are anointing someone a united states senator because she's the spawn of some king you worshiped back in the 60's.How fucking stupid is that?Intelligence is important so can you point towards one thing that indicates she's intelligent?Was it the tough work she did spending her family fortune while never working a day in her life or was it how she avoided flying single engine planes like her brainiac brother?Call me crazy for not believing in someone who's never done anything more impressive than edit a book of her mothers poetry but I'm not caught up in the camelot fairytale like your generation is.

That's what I thought. LOLRZ

Do you think that Jackson, Jr will be implicated at all? It sure seems that the Feds are trying to keep this only about the Governor.

I wish they had let it play all the way out, then quietly arrested the Governor, gave him a deal to keep it going and then implicate everyone that "thought" they were buying the job. They could have pulled in a half dozen or more corrupt people.

I heard that they pulled the trigger on the arrest because they were afraid that he was about to appoint someone. So, although I don't think they have said who that was, I'm pretty sure that they have what the final deal was going to be.

I hope Jackson Jr. is implicated.He had a 90 minute meeting with the guy the day before he was arrested.What do you think they were talking about?

They should have let him accept bids for the seat.I think part of the reason they didnt was because the day before he basically went on tv in an interview and mocked everyone who might be investigating him in a arrogant fashion.Every interview I've seen with him he looks like a pompous ass(sup snarg).I can't believe he was ever elected in the first place.I read that he campaigned on the platform of kicking out the corrupt republicans that preceded him.Ironic.

Yeah, he looks more like some guy that would have been on Happy Days than the governor of a corrupt state that would try to pull off a mafia style deal like that.

I saw him giving a speech (didn't know the time frame) and he was saying that he wanted to be governor because of his dead mother and because she was such an honest and trustworthy person and he wanted to bring that back to the state of illinois. How he would be honest and have integrity, and blah blah blah, for the sake of his dead mother.

Seeing that in hindsight, it was almost like watching a Michael Moore film and thinking, "no fucking way could that have really happened".

I found it interesting that he married a powerful alderman in Chicagos daughter and thats how he basically got his support.I thought Philly was corrupt but its not as bad as there.

4 governors in jail in the last 40 years. 4. Can you even imagine?

Oh, and I have no read all that I ever wanted to know about Caroline Kennedy and more and have decided that she is not even close to being Senate material. She needs to stick to writing, ribbon cutting, and going to funerals.

Whenever your ready to post one thing that shows Caroline Kennedy is intelligent I'm ready.

Posting like you really are getting to me is kind of odd since we all can see I made you look like a fool in this thread.

Its really an insult to hard working men and women to think she can just throw her hat in the ring for a major job like that.The scary part is she really thinks she's qualified.

Sounds like Jesse Jackson, Jr. might be right in the middle of this. The article I read today said that the reason that they hurried the arrest was that he was about to appoint Jackson to the job. A Jackson representative had offered $500,000 to the governor's campaign and someone else was going to match it with $1 million. All they were waiting on was some "upfront" money, but the governor had instructed his people to do the rest of the talks in person rather than on the phone. Apparantly he was getting suspicious with the ongoing investigation into him about other things.

the jackson family (both jesse and michael) are great at deflecting arrows. i'm sure there is a buffer even if it is a staff member.

Its looking like he's going down or at the very least coming out of it wounded.I just read the transcript and Jackson approached the governor about paying him up front.The governor moved him to the top of the list after their conversation.

Obama basically is cleared by the governor if you read the transcripts.He basically says "He(obama) wants me to appoint candidate 1(a woman) and all we get out of it is his appreciation, fuck him".

Its weird when you read the transcript, the guy discusses how he's going to probably be indicted for something not pertaining to this and how he might just appoint himself to the senate seat because its easier to get resources to defend yourself as a sitting senator rather then a sitting governor.The guy had a hunch he was going to be indicted but still talked freely on the phone about how he was going to sell the seat.Fucking stupid.
