So Caroline Kennedy is kind enough to explain why she thinks she should be appointed the next Senator from New York:
“I come at this as a mother, as a lawyer, as an author as an education advocate and from a family that really has spent generations in public service,” she began, in response to a question about why she’s running, saying this is “a time when nobody can afford to sit out.”
Personally I’d be wary of trading upon her grandfather’s public-service career, but then again perhaps she liked the old bastard. Clearly, however, she’s decided that there’s no point ignoring the dynastic/entitlement issue and has chosen, instead, to double down on it.
