Bloomberg Twisting Arms for Kennedy

The New York Times is up with a must-read on the behind-the-scenes maneuvering to secure Caroline Kennedy a Senate seat. A top aide to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Kevin Sheekey—he of the “Bloomberg for President” leaks—has been calling state movers and shakers and telling them to “get on board now,” The Times reports. Sheekey’s arm-twisting apparently has the blessing of his boss, but it’s rankling some Democrats, who are seeing echoes of Bloomberg’s alpha-male bid to rid himself of the city’s term limits—another Sheekey project. “It appears to be another case of central casting by the city’s cognoscenti,” snipes a Democratic City Council member.

Caroline Kennedy.The reason she should fill Hil-dogs spot is what? She is cute,in a kinda inbred ,middle aged ,non Walmart
shopping way. I guess thats enough. I can't wait to purchase the
collector plates with her smiling face tastefully silk-screened over
a leering portrait of JFK. I guess I shouldn't ask, but how much are they putting up for the seat? Blog wanted a mil and a good job for his old lady, and he wasn't dealing with the freakin Kennedy clan.She should be good for 10, eh?
