Caroline is ‘Present’
The next “ruler” of our nation will be sworn in come January 20th of the fast-approaching New Year. The “B.O.”zo man is wasting no time, however, getting things lined up for his grab at the brass ring. He and “the Missus” have selected a private school for their little ones, executive orders have been lined up along with a few fresh pens full of ink, and his arch enemy, “That Hillary Woman,” has been tapped for her next political gig as his Secretary of State. Sounds good, but…
Who will fill the Hillarybeast’s shoes in Congress?
We finally have a “Kennedy-free” zone in D.C. A political dynasty that began with the “Camelot-ish” reign of “Jack” and “Jackie” is now faltering as Ted “Chappaquiddick” Kennedy puts his health in the hands of the best medical professionals in the land and absents himself from his Senatorial seat.
But, wait – that’s very BAD! We have to have a Kennedy in D.C., and not just passing out punch and cookies as a D.C. “hostess” – we’re talking about having a “real” role in governing us bunch of unruly individuals that run amok without regulations and “oversight.”
Gee, how about Caroline Kennedy? Didn’t she do such a SUPER job as part of the BOzo's V.P. selection team? On the experience scale that MUST rank higher than Palin being a Mayor and then a Governor. Not to mention Her Royal Clintoness being an ex-First Lady and then carpetbagger-turned-New-York-Senator.
The final test of Caroline’s qualifications would sound something like this:
Me: “Hi, Ms. Kennedy.”
CK: “Please, call me Caroline. I’m a Kennedy but want to be treated just like you humble people.”
Me: “Uh – ok – well, I was just going to ask you about your qualifications to be Senator from New York.”
CK: “Oh, I’m so flattered to be asked. Here, have some punch and cookies. Gee, first I got to help pick the V.P. That was so exciting. Biden wasn’t my first choice, but he won’t be too bad. The press just has to stop reporting his gaffes. And he’s studying hard so he can get up to speed on some things like…”
Me: “Sorry to interrupt, but I just wanted to ask you one thing.”
CK: “Oh, sure. I’m always glad to answer anything you people in the media…”
Me: “I’m not a journalist. I write opinion columns.”
CK: “Oh, the sort of things that the Fairness Doctrine will address.”
Me: “That’s radio. My question is…”
CK: “More punch?”
Me: “No, I’m good. Actually, it smells a bit ‘strong.’”
CK: “Of course. It’s Ted’s secret recipe.”
Me: “Ok…” (I set glass gently aside) “Well, I just wanted to ask you to say something.”
CK: “That sounds easy. Shoot.”
Me: “Say ‘present.’”
CK: “‘Present.’”
Me: “Great. You passed.”
CK: “Really? That’s it? I’m qualified.”
Me: “Sure. That’s about all our President-elect said while in office. Piece of cake.”
CK: “Cool. More cookies?”
Sounds like a good idea to read up on the importance of individual rights and what we could be losing with people like this running the government.
Ho, ho, ho! Everyone!
