So I’ve been watching some of my dear friends on the left exploding over the possibility that Caroline Kennedy will be appointed to the U.S. Senate from New York. And I wonder….why? Somehow she is being called unqualified….that is a laughable suggestion. When one looks at her charitable works it is clear that those endeavors involve serious matters of public policy like education policy…One can easily make the case that she is an expert on education policy. Also she has written published works on constitutional law that have been highly regarded…Let’s see…lawyer, philanthropist for causes that have relationships to substantive public policy…and she’s not qualified? Please, get over yourself Daily Kos…stop whining

The whole “unqualified” argument reeks of Republican and/or DLC talking points. What is “qualified?” I don’t know, and certainly a definition is never advanced to answer that question.
Since when do liberals *not* want another Kennedy in the Senate? Kos confuses me on this one.

No one erupted when she was one of three advising a newly elected Obama. Why the huff now?
