Caroline Kennedy – Royalty Or Reality – What Would Blago Do?
Caroline Kennedy wants to be appointed by the Governor of New York to fill the Senate term of Hillary Clinton. Should she get it? Is she deserving? Interesting questions considering she has never served in elective office. Some of the pundits say that it would be a bad choice, because there are better choices like New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.
Wait a minute! Cuomo is also “royalty,” son of a former Governor and a “namesake choice.”
Maybe its time to find someone without the big name who can do a great job in the Senate. Look at Charles Schumer. The New York Democrat has been Wall Street’s greatest protector in the Senate. Is he a good Senator? That’s questionable. Where does he stand on the great Madoff swindle? For that matter, where does he stand on the great 2008 Wall street crimes, crimes that have stripped many of his constituents of their fortunes, big and small.
Maybe its time for New York Governor Patterson to look for a great teacher, community servant, or scientist to serve in the Senate, alongside Senator Schumer.
As far as Caroline: She could be a great Senator, but the choice should be made on three factors: vision, wisdom, and honesty. There are millions of people in New York who have those qualities. Find one of them.
Now what would Governor Blagojevich do? Perhaps he would hold a lottery. He could sell $10,000 tickets and pick the name out of a hat. The profits would go to the “Blago Defense Fund.”
Blago’s defiant stand is interesting to watch. He seems intent on holding out until he gets a deal.
What’s up here? And why are the Aldermen (council members) of Chicago remaining so silent on the scandal? Is the Governor ready to tell all?

1) Ted Splash Kebnedy and Patrick Crash Kennedy are embarrasments to the Congress, their constituents and the country in general. Time for Camelot to end…
2) Caroline Kennedy is no more a NY resident than Hillary Clinton was when she grabbed the seat. Isn’t that Senate seat intended for a NY resident?
3) IT IS TIME FOR THIS ‘BUSINESS AS USUAL’ MINDSET TO END. CLEAN HOUSE (PUN INTENDED) IN CONGRESS. OUT WITH THE LIFETIME POLITICIANS AND FAMILIES!
Larry, Stephen Hawkens is retiring maybe we can get him to run for Senator….. You said you wanted a scientist. Maybe Mrs Kaighan might consider running. On second thought maybe Mrs Kaighan has other priorities, like keeping her panties free of crabs.
Larry, govenor Patterson can’t LOOK for anything. He’s blind. New Yorkers deserve everything they get. Stupid is what stupid does, and New Yorkers do stupid things. From Eliot Spitzer to Hillary Clinton to Bobby Kennedy these constituants have no regard for their wellbeing. They suffer from lack of tinsel town recognition. California is the hot bed of celebrity action and it undermines NYers sense of importance.
Bernie Madoff’s daughter is married to a SEC employee. How rich is that? Why doesn’t Larry report on that fact? Larry your a day late and probably 100,000 dollars short.
Blago is the product of a permissive upbringing. Bud Dwyer blew his head off.
That’s how unscrupulous politicians should end it all…….
Well I have inspired my Larry to change his blog subject. I told him no more Twinkies before bed until he got off that god aweful women’s right bit. Sometimes I think he’s more of a woman than me.
Now if I can just get that impetulant A Hole to cease and desist. Perhaps he is a Kennedy too. I wonder if his liver is pickled too.
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquaris. Mean spirited bloggers with a bone to pick. Like A Hole but with half a brain.
Tootle loo.
mrs. k i hope u dont mind i “borrowed” your signature phrase “tootle loo” for a minute as the current headline on my myspace page– it’s just so good. now for our esteemed leader LK, thanks for the new “news flash” brother, you have us fiending like addicts for your latest product. nepotism and/or “family hookups” will always be a part of our society. would todd kalas or joe buck be announcers if they hadnt had famous fathers. would the current termini sons be bakers with a multi million dollar bakery business if their fam hadnt set the path. W would’ve never made it prez either for that matter. so let this kennedy broad get what she wants, especially when you consider how tragic their family history has been. when i was little i wished that my dad was famous…i wanted my dad to be roman gabriel. fortunately i learned to love my real dad.
Dearest Daniel by your logic if your Dad had been Roman Gabriel, you’d be the Eagles quarterback today and we wouldn’t even be close to the playoffs. Things do work out for a reason.
Further following your logic your Dad must have been Gene Mauch because you turned out to be a miserable Phillies manager. Not to worry Daniel because everyone has forgotten how bad your team was in the rush to celebrate this year’s champion.
In the spirit of Christmas and Hanukkah, I’ve baked some exlax-laced brownies for A Fan. Enjoy my impetulent one.
Tootle loo (and yes Daniel there is a Santa Claus)
sarah palin wasn’t qualified to be vp though she was a gov for two years yet caroline is qualified based on being a fairy princess all her life.
Caroline Kennedy is no more qualified to be a Senator than Hillary Clinton was to be a Senator or President. Frankly, I’m surprised Larry is not falling all over Caroline as a Senator to continue Camelot and the false perception of the Kennedys as long as possible. Perhaps Punxsutawney Larry should pop out of his hole more often.
Sweet Caroline the good times they never felt so good.
Whoa,oh,oh,
Sweet Caroline the good times they never felt so good.
Maybe it’s time to find a job in which failure to use apostrophes correctly isn’t so embarrassing.
Print this out and put it up by your computer: http://angryflower.com/bobsqu.gif.
Leo, it is odd that Larry is somewhat lax in his use of the apostrophe. Normally those of his generation are sticklers for correct spelling. They grew up at the feet of teachers who were not afraid to use various harsh techniques in order to get their point across to the student. Larry’s parents must have sent him to one of those alternative schools which stressed freedom of expression and anything goes as long as one was being creative in his or her own way. I know Mrs Kaighan went to an alternative school. It was there that she learned how to braid her armpit hair and to cultivate one long eyebrow.
If I knew then what I know now I would never have taken my own life. I would be running for the Senate seat in New York.
My slogan would be “Bud Dwyer still has his HEAD on (straight)”
Where it began
I can’t begin to knowin
But then i know it’s growin strong
Was in the spring
That became the summer
Whod have believed you come along
Hands touchin hands
Reachin out
Touching me
Touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I’ve been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I look at the night
And it don’t seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I’m holdin you
Warm touchin warm
Reachin out
Touchin me
Touchin you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I believe they never would
Oh,no,no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never felt so good
I’ve been inclined
I believe they never could
Sweet Caroline
Ahoy maties! This here blog has gotten downright cheeky. Puppets with attitude abound. Shiver me timbers, it’s the holidays mates. Back off the hostilities and embrace season of good cheer. Grab a grog and a wench. Arrrgh!
What do the simple folk do
To help them escape when they’re blue?
The shepard who is ailing, the milkmaid who is glum
The cobbler who is wailing from nailing his thumb
When they’re beset and besieged
The folk not noblessly obliged
However do they manage to shed their weary lot?
Oh, what do simple folk do…we do not?
I have been informed by those who know them well
They find relief in quite a clever way
When they’re sorely pressed, they whistle for a spell
And whistling seems to brighten up their day
And that’s what simple folk do
So they say
It’s true! It’s true! The crown has made it clear.
The climate must be perfect all the year.
A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there’s a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot.
The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot.
By order, summer lingers through September
In Camelot.
Camelot! Camelot!
“SNOPES” VALIDATES THE BELOW
FACTS:
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s home district includes San Francisco .
Star-Kist Tuna’s headquarters are in San Francisco , Pelosi’s home district.
Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Food and is a major contributor to Pelosi.
Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa employing 75% of the Samoan work force.
Paul Pelosi, Nancy ‘s husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-Kist stock.
In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 t o $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not have to pay the higher wage. This would make Del Monte products less expensive than their competition’s.
Last week when the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an earmark to the final bill adding $33 million dollars for an ‘economic development credit in American Samoa ‘.
Pelosi has called the Bush Administration “CORRUPT” ? ?
Do I get residuals from my songs being used on this site? Neil Diamond?
Larry I’m taking down Mayor Daley, Barrack Obama and the Democratic Party in one fell swoop. Then I’m going jogging.
Maybe New York can find Mr. Smith and send him to Washington. Wouldn’t that be a hoot? He’d singlehandedly clean up the town, fix the economy, and bring the nation the FREE AIR it so sorely needs in these trying times.
I knew a man Obama and he’d talk to you
On worn out issues
With short cut hair, a Harvard degree, and short term stance
The old soft shoe
He jumped so high, jumped so high
Then he lightly touched down
I met him in a ward in Chicago I was
down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
as he spoke right out
He talked of life, talked of life, he laughed
clicked his heels and stepped
He said his name Obama and he danced a lick
across the town
He grabbed his pants and spread his stance,
Oh he jumped so high and then he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh
and shook back his clothes all around
Mr. Obama, Mr. Obama
Mr. Obama, dance

Imitation is the ultimate form of flattery. Thank you, puppet.
This really is a paradigm shift. Musicals by angry sock puppets. Kind of like the Muppets with attitude.
Although this was your best attempt at a thoughtful blog topic in weeks, the puppet is right. LARRY, PLEASE CHANGE THE BLOG TOPIC! WE’RE INTO BROADWAY MUSICALS AND CHRISTMAS MUSIC. I’M BEGGING YOU TO CHANGE THE TOPIC.
Is Dave and Bing the St Joe’s drummer or the former NBA/Syracuse basketball star?
Hot Rod is taking a page out of the Mayor Street playbook: Pretend you’re innocent, and maybe people will forget about the whole thing.
It’s a shame. He does have purdy hair.
The weather’s getting nasty. Are you feeling it in your bones, Larry?
I agree with OOOJ about the sock puppets. They’re not as amusing as they used to be back in the pirate days.
Either all the regulars have checked out until after the holidays OR they have tired of Larry’s wanton disregard for his site and the regular bloggers. In either case, I will only be checking in daily until after the holidays.
I hereby declare this site to be so puppet infested that there is no recourse but to exterminate the site.
Merry Christmas to all and to all Free Air!
NEW BLOG! Maybe Free Air is not far behind…
