Palin seems to be of anything not in her immediate line of sight. Caroline Kennedy has been under a microscope her whole life. She's had a biography written about her -- and not a hagiography like Palin's, but a gossipy book about her weight issues, relationship with her mother and teenage rebellion. As Kennedy kid, she knows exactly what kind of scrutiny the children of politicians get, which may be why she's stayed out of politics until now, when her kids are almost all out of the house.<BR/><BR/>I suppose Palin will complain that Kennedy's intellect won't be as scrutinized as Palin's, but it's difficult to know what would be considered balance. I mean, Kennedy's co-authored two books on con law (one on the Bill of Rights, the other on privacy), so she probably can think of a Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade. I suppose Kennedy could get grilled on pipeline construction -- such a crucial topic for a NY Senator -- so Palin can feel superior about her knowledge of something.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.com
