This blog has been silent about Caroline Kennedy's shadow campaign for a Senate appointment, mostly because he was convinced that this was just some effort by karma to tap dance on those partisans who took too much glee mocking the qualifications of Sarah Palin.
As someone who thought Palin was unqualified for VP-dom and thinks Kennedy is unqualified for the Senate, I nevertheless feel a massive twinge of sympathy for Caroline Kennedy after
her New York Times interview.
Several media outlets are mocking her verbal tic of saying "you know" a lot in that interview.
Longtime watchers of my bloggingheads and other media appearances are well aware that I've
owned that tic for several years now. That's
my thing. That I do. When I'm formulating what I am about to say. When a live mic is close by.
Anything Kennedy can do to make it acceptable to the mainstream would be good for my media whoredom, and therefore a Manifestly Good Thing for the Republic.
