Inherit the what??? Kennedy from "Camelot" mayhave "came-little" to help her own party

Cartoon from JewishWorldReview by John Cole

Treasuring a legacy and carrying it on are two different things. With what we know of Caroline Kennedy and now what we know of her voting record, we know she is no JFK, not even close. Caroline may have the same bloodline but that is just about all she has in common with her Father and the the Kennedy name as we knew it back then, note keyword, "back then".
Here are some excerpts from Noemie Emery's article @The Weekly Standard

The problem is not only that she has nothing but the family legacy to stand on but that the "legacy" itself has been so diluted and changed.

.... the legacy and those who claim to uphold it a disconnect, which voters sense and act on even if the legatees seem to deny its existence.

A number of Bobby's children, in particular, have seemed to go in for left-wing fringe causes, backed by the kind of boutique liberals Bobby once thought of as "sick." This is the reason the attempts of the younger Kennedys to tap into the emotional charge of the legacy have fallen with such a dull thud:

Would Jack, who threatened pre-emptive war over missiles in Cuba, have really opposed a war with Iraq after Saddam defied U.N. resolutions? Would Bobby, who made his chops busting corrupt labor unions, have supported the end of the secret ballot in union elections? What would Jack and Bobby have said to the feminist social agenda, up to and including late-term abortion? And what would Bobby have said of gay marriage?

If Caroline wants to run as a legatee, she should explain which Kennedy legacy she supports, and why she supports it (including the tax cuts put in by her father.) She could start by reading her father's inaugural and seeing if there are any parts she believes in. Would she "bear any burden and pay any price" to ensure the survival of liberty? If she wouldn't, she should tell us why.

Sadly even her fellow Democrats don't want her Sitting next to theme either Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-N.Y.) is quoted as saying

"I don't know what Caroline Kennedy's qualifications are. Except that she has name recognition, but so does J-Lo."

Charles Krauthammer from Washington Post writes this in his "House of Lords?" OP-Ed Recently;

The problem is Kennedy's sense of entitlement. Given her rather modest achievements, she is trading entirely on pedigree.

I hate to be a good-government scold, but wasn't the American experiment a rather firm renunciation of government by pedigree?

Yes, the Founders were not democrats. They believed in aristocracy. But their idea was government by natural -- not inherited -- aristocracy, an aristocracy of "virtue and talents," as Jefferson put it.
