I finally agree with Harry Reid

I have been wondering how we know that Roland Burris didn’t buy his seat. I guess we don’t know and never will.

Reid vowed to block the appointment because of allegations that Gov. Blogojevich tried to sell Barack Hussein Obama’s seat.

Reid was quoted as saying, “We are not making a judgment about qualifications of the appointee, but about whether the appointment itself is tainted by fraud. This is like judging the integrity of an election, free from fraud or corruption. It’s the process that lead to the appointment, not the appointee’s qualifications.”

Will Caroline run only on pedigree?

I remember hearing Caroline Kennedy say a few years ago that she had ‘absolutely no interest in politics’. Am I understanding correctly that she had a change of heart upon turning 50?

I have no doubt that she would bring in a ton of money and everything she touched would turn to gold but is it fair?

I think about the other candidates running for NY Senator, who have more than likely paid their dues, and then along comes Caroline in true Kennedy fashion. ” I want it and I’m going to take it”.

I realize the decision is up to Governor David Paterson and seeing dollar signs and the Kennedy name, she’ll probably get it. Even though her only qualification is that her dad held the same seat.

I think it is unfair and I am beginning to doubt government on all levels.
