For all of you out there giving Caroline Kennedy a hard time, leave her alone! Sure, she's unqualified. Sure, she's missed out on the last few elections. Sure, she talks like a crack head on speed. But who really cares? Is she any less qualified than her would-be peers?
Think about it. There are roughly 530 senators and congressman on Capitol Hill. Of those 530+ people, about 30 of them are worth a damn. Congressmen and Senators in Washington are part of the problem and appointing Caroline Kennedy or anyone else will not change that. When the Washington idiots become comfortable they stop working for the people. That is what has happened in the House and Senate.
If you think that Senators work for anything more than themselves, you are terribly mistaken. The Senate is where good politicians go to die. It doesn't matter what you stood for before, once you are in the Senate you principles and morals go to the wayside in the protection of the elite Washington bureaucracy. Therein lies the problem with the 2008 election. There were 3 too many senators on the ticket. Sarah Palin might have been the butt of everyone's jokes, but she was the only one with executive experience and her principles still intact.
So, give Caroline the seat. Frankly, one only needs to be able to walk upright to do the job of a Senator. She seems to have mastered that. Hell, the majority of the people she'd be working with are little more than trained monkeys, so what does it matter?

Krystle,
I sadly agree with your analysis of the House and Senate. No wonder approval of Congress stands in the single digits. For a body that has so much power, this is truly troubling.
However, an attempt should always be made to sit good competent people in any political body. That is the only way to reverse the trend. Sure it may seem impossible from here. But there is no need to give up.
The Senate may be a country club on sterroids (sp) but it will not help matters by appointing another hack in there.
Until the American people wake up and take an interest...nothing will fix the Senate.
