Fox: If Caroline’s Last Name Was Palin By Andrea Tantaros
What has she done in her career? Does she have the experience to govern? Isn’t she just a name and a pretty face in expensive clothes? All questions asked by Democrats (I’m being nice) regarding Sarah Palin as McCain’s pick for Vice President.
But Caroline Kennedy -– similarly an intriguing, attractive outsider decked in designer duds and a thin resume — isn’t put under the same kind of scrutiny. Apparently, qualifications don’t matter to the left as long as you don’t hunt moose.
The left is just plain giddy with excitement over a return to Camelot and the New York press corps, the most selectively tough in the business, is following suit. One this is certain: if Kennedy’s last name were Palin she wouldn’t be anointed.
I would add that Palin also had to deal with regional bigotry.
I guess if you go to certain schools, come from a certain state, and have a certain last name, you’re not subject to scrutiny.
