Peter King Isn’t Impressed With Sweet Caroline

Peter King isn’t really all that enamored with the idea of Caroline Kennedy becoming the next Senator from the great state of New York. In an interview with CNN, King said:

I’m not saying you have to be a politician or to have held office … but you have to be somewhere in the public arena. The fact is that she has a well-known name, her face has been on a lot of magazines but, really, very limited involvement in the public sphere.

Wow. That’s gonna leave a mark.

Of course Democrats are lining up to make sure another vagina is in the seat because, after all, the number one qualification to whether or not you can be a Senator these days is your genitalia. Andrew Cuomo, another likely candidate and one that is far more qualified than Sweet Caroline wouldn’t make the feminazis happy.

Sending Cuomo to the Senate, however, might anger feminist groups that are pressuring Paterson to appoint a woman to replace Clinton. Considering that Clinton’s departure will leave only 16 women in the Senate out of 100 senators, many feminists believe women are underrepresented on Capitol Hill.

“It’s really important to us that we don’t lose another seat in the U.S. Senate,” said Cathy Lasry, president of the Eleanor Roosevelt Legacy Committee. “I think that we’ve proven that once we are in there, obviously we can govern. … We just need that extra push and some help in getting in there.” Video Watch the Kennedys’ hold on American politics »

Choosing Kennedy would allow Paterson to maintain the number of women in the Senate, but she is not the only female candidate the governor is reportedly considering. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-New York, has also expressed interest in the seat.

And of course, Donna Brazile, who’s always good for a few ounces of vapidity:

“As a woman, as a feminist, I think it’s time to put another woman in the seat,” CNN contributor and Democratic strategist Donna Brazile said. “I think Caroline Kennedy will bring a great deal to the table.”

Amazing what qualifications a vagina represent.
