CAROLINE NO

CAROLINE KENNEDY DROPS SENATE QUEST! Guess who won’t be your new appointed senator from New York? Caroline Kennedy, the famous royalty who was supposed to get Hillary’s old gig! That’s what the New York Post says, in a BREAKING news story bulletin alert. Ha, Drudge doesn’t even have this, yet. We need a replacement for the Drudge Siren, in this post-Drudge era.

  1. President X says at 7:00 pm, January 21st, 2009

    Yes. It was part of the Hillz confirmation deal: kill off all younger Democrat females, share the unpublished sex stories of Bill’s presidency in the Republican National Committee’s newsletter, and Hillz can be Secretary of the State.

    Caroline, you’re OUT.
    Hillz, you’re IN.

  2. Good thing: If the Senate had to pay for another Kennedy’s liquor bills, the country would lapse into a steep economic declin . . . .

    Oh, wait.

    Never mind.

    Drink up!

  3. You know.

    We need a replacement for the Drudge Siren, in this post-Drudge era.

    How about a GIF of a jackass spewing forth a cloud of vile gas? Because that’s the closest thing to Drudge siren I can think of….

  5. chascates says at 7:04 pm, January 21st, 2009

    If Cuomo gets the seat maybe Caroline can be the new NY AG? Even without a law degree it would be a nice starting place for her.

  6. chascates: She does have a law degree, and she passed her bar exam, unlike Hillz.

  7. Colander says at 7:08 pm, January 21st, 2009

    The blind governor couldn’t see how hot she was, so what was the point?

  8. chascates says at 7:08 pm, January 21st, 2009

    jagorev: Whoa! My bad. Then she is qualified. I want to hear more ‘you knows’ any how.

  9. MisterLoki says at 7:09 pm, January 21st, 2009

    The seat belongs to Harriet Christian.

  10. fillintheblank says at 7:09 pm, January 21st, 2009

    passed the bar unlike her brother (for a few times) and all of her relatives (yes, that kind of bar)

  11. She can be VP after Joe Biden suffers a mysterious accident involving pointe shoes and a stairwell.

    Likely Post headline tomorrow afternoon:

    Kennedy Senate Shot Dead

  13. bitchincamaro says at 7:15 pm, January 21st, 2009

    Carolyn Maloney is looking more and more likely. You heard it here.

  14. This is not her time, this is not her moment.

  15. CorkPopper says at 7:16 pm, January 21st, 2009

    Yay! Never wanted her to be my unelected senator anyhoo. But Cuomo’s kind of a prick so I hope it’s not him…I’m hoping for a continuation of the hotification of DC in the form of Gillibrand. Plus upstate could use some representation.

  16. chascates says at 7:17 pm, January 21st, 2009

    Matty’s on the job:

    CAROLINE PULLS OUT!

  17. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 7:17 pm, January 21st, 2009

    “Personal reasons”? Sounds like some reporter was going to write about her “marriage”.

  18. chascates says at 7:20 pm, January 21st, 2009

    NY Times claims:
    Decision Prompted By Worries Over Her Uncle’s Health

  19. Someone probably told her she’d have to spend lots of time with Chuck Schumer - can’t really blame her.

  20. Rush: Ot she just couldn’t bear the thought of going Upstate again to talk with farmers.

  21. fillintheblank says at 7:23 pm, January 21st, 2009

    CAROLINE PULLS OUT… but swears she’s on the pill?

  22. ManchuCandidate says at 7:24 pm, January 21st, 2009

    bitchincamaro:
    “Kennedy Senate Plan Crashes”?

    Either way, I always expect something “Klassi” from the Post.

  23. Colander says at 7:29 pm, January 21st, 2009

    chascates: That’s what I thought too. She’s pulling a McCain/Obama.

  24. Texan Bulldoggette says at 7:32 pm, January 21st, 2009

    I could care less about this but as for her being qualified, shit, the Senate has housed such august luminaries as Ted Stevens, Norm Coleman & Strom Thurmond. Compared to these douche-nozzles, the guy at my local Jiffy Lube is qualified.

  25. This pull-out is just a liberal plot to hurt Sarah Palin’s feelings!

  26. The Unfairman says at 7:36 pm, January 21st, 2009

    Tommmcatt:

    I was hoping it could be a flaccid penis flapping in the wind.

  27. Vanity Smurf says at 7:36 pm, January 21st, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Win. I hope they are reading this and steal your headline. Just like those Daily Show “writers” do.

  28. wide right says at 7:39 pm, January 21st, 2009

    good. the bad vibes i was beaming to the brearley school parents’ association meetings must have worked. now, how about appointing a senator who isn’t the scion of a better known politician? or even an elected official from beyond metro nyc? just saying.

  29. groove: WIN

  30. NoWireHangers says at 7:45 pm, January 21st, 2009

    We need a replacement for the Drudge Siren, in this post-Drudge era.

    How about the HuffPo rotating globe????

  31. Wonkette editors must be over the moon – their crusade against Caroline Kennedy bears fruit. I hope you’re happy. Now we’re gonna have that jackass Cuomo as a senator. I know he is a jackass because I interacted with him. He is a horrible person who treats everyone who is no use to him like crap.

  32. graceless says at 7:54 pm, January 21st, 2009

    NY is sooo screwed.

  33. Nerdalicious says at 7:54 pm, January 21st, 2009

    Breaking News!

    Prez Obama retook Oath Of Office Today!

    Ha Ha, probably after Joe made a joke at the Ceremony today about it!

    Take that Chris Wallace!

    Kudos to Wonkette on posting the Caroline news so quickly :)

  34. Rodney Badger says at 7:55 pm, January 21st, 2009

    Dreamer: Getting your leg peed on in the back of CBGB’s does not qualify as interaction.

  35. Rodney Badger says at 8:00 pm, January 21st, 2009

    Nerdalicious: bhosp: Everything Obama did between the do-over oath and first oath are therefore invalid. Both of you now must return to Gitmo to be waterboarded by Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.

  36. graceless says at 8:02 pm, January 21st, 2009

    UMMMMM, just asking, If you were Caroline Kennedy, would you not issue your own press release?

  37. Alex Trebeks Girl says at 8:12 pm, January 21st, 2009

    I am very upset that this is getting more coverage than Sarah Palin. Damn you liberal elite media! Palin is STILL relevant and YOU know it. Now get to work.

  38. How about an animated GIF that flips between a normal shot of an object and night-vision goggles shot.

  39. Tommmcatt says at 8:35 pm, January 21st, 2009

    The Unfairman:

    Or a douchebag, drip-drip-dripping into the empty air….

  40. chascates: She has a JD, even if it’s from that notorious diploma mill Columbia (a minor branch campus of Phoenix University). She also has co-authored two books on constitutional law (that, I concede, were without fun, paint-by-numbers, color illustrations.)

    Her downfall came because, unlike Andy Cuomo in his NYS 2006 AG election, she attempted to gain her first and only public office using name recognition. [I trust that I am not made myself too obscure.]

  41. magic titty says at 8:44 pm, January 21st, 2009

    New Drudge Siren: “HENNGHNGHH?!”

    That, or an ejaculating phallus.

    Also, BruceM: Win.

  42. turkey lurkey says at 8:46 pm, January 21st, 2009

    “Can’t come to work because my uncle’s sick”? Can’t wait to try that!

  43. Word is now that she is NOT pulling her name….

    God these Kennedy’s are fickle bunch!

  44. Rodney Badger: All hail our Pretend President. If we don’t like his policies (or the color of the Kenyan prayer rug in the Oval Office), we can ask that the House of Representaives to appoint her highness Princess Ozma (but everyone knew her as Nancy) to take his place.

  45. Nerdalicious says at 10:19 pm, January 21st, 2009

    Rodney Badger:
    “gulp, gulp, gulp, yes Condi I love your lil’ flip in your hair. I think it’s cute. Yes, Dick, you are the Duke, you’re A #1, You are the Duke, you’re A #1. gulp, gulp, gulp. Did Prez Sinatra take the 2nd REAL Chris Wallace approved Oath yet? Please say yes!”

  46. Nerdalicious says at 10:27 pm, January 21st, 2009

    bhosp:
    If the crazies on the right are flippin’ over this oath nonsense, imagine what they will do when more complex issues arise. They will drive Prez Sinatra batty.

  47. GODDAMN YOU THATS MY FLASHING LIGHT! GIVE IT! IM TELLING RUPERT DAMN YOU….DAMN IT!
