As a member of Kennedy royalty, Caroline Kennedy has her eyes on Hillary Clinton’s New York senate seat; but to start off her campaign right she has to stop saying “Ya Know.”

First of all, with a Kennedy it doesn’t matter if they have a speech impairment or not, they can usually get what they want. Robert Kennedy, Jr. hosts “Ring of Fire” on Air America Radio and his voice is terrible. He has no business being an orator of any kind, or frankly telling the average American to conserve on their driving when he flies in a jet (I’m not a fan of Hannity but RK got called out on that one). With Caroline Kennedy she will be elected based upon being a “Kennedy” and not her own merit–whether that’s fair or not, I believe it’s true.

That’s not to say Caroline isn’t smart.  To be in that royal family it looks like a requirement as long you stay to the same idealogical path. All she needs is a Palin makeover to curb her “Ya Know”s and she’s on her way.

Most of what counts for intelligence is the appearance of intelligence and part of that is being able to speak. Possibly Bush is a rogue maverick in this department and is so smart he feels he doesn’t have to appear to be such in public. At last we may have figured him out, if it weren’t for a botched war, a bad economy, and numerous government scandals.
