Building Democrat Dynasties One Charade At A Time
By haystack
As perhaps one of the most cynical people around, I couldn't help but wonder what business Caroline Kennedy had endorsing Barack Obama and then, reading through the Teddy Wail as he gushed all over this "new Kid on the block," I finally understood. The Kennedys need the Clintons gone so they can retake the Democrat party and make it their own once again.
Of course, had Teddy-boy possessed even a thumbnail's worth of the abilities his brothers enjoyed, he might have been elected and served a second term as President. THAT might have been enough to keep the Clintons from ever having REACHED the top of the Democrat heap in the first place. Instead, Teddy's miserable failure(s) wound up playing a primary role in the decline of the family name [in politics, of course]...the crimes alleged and never proven for most of the clan will NOT be mentioned by me..what's that? I just did? Ooopsies-quite sorry...
Picking Obama to ostensibly re-live the glory days of the Families Kennedy is really a very bad idea, for what it's worth. You see, Joseph was able to build the dynasty on the back of err, umm, questionable activities later to be made illegal. Clinton, likewise (I did NOT mention Whitewater!). Obama is just too squeaky ckean to rise atop this pile (well, ok-so he played with a few "technically illegal" hobbies as a youth...but who HASN'T?).
Bedding down with Barack and the Oprah will likely NOT turn out very well for Teddy-boy...and frankly I think it only cheapens what little there is left of a fine heritage of political giants in their time and place in American history...but who am I to get in the way of Teddy making a fool of himself...AGAIN?
I can't help wondering what JFK, RFK, and even Joseph P. might have to say were they alive to see this mess Ted's making of the family brand.
More below the fold...
