11. How about that WWII family that lost all eight children when one troop

ship went down...

Give me a break, the Kennedy's have proven to be fine and dandy rich folks, but everytime we lionize one of the folks at the top it stops one of the folks from the middle or the bottom of the ladder from attaining the heights to serve the country as well...

Remember, we just elected Obama over Clinton.

If I lived in New York I would be a little upset if Caroline Kennedy was selected as my senator. What about all the other folks toiling hard in the political arena, what we should dump them aside just because of a name. Appoint somebody and then let her earn it by running on her own in 2010.
