Caroline Kennedy last night withdrew from consideration to replace Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, just two months after rocking the New York political landscape by throwing her hat in the ring.
She confirmed the news publicly in a statement released shortly after midnight today - hours after The Post exclusively revealed her decision last night.
It’s not your fault, Princess. We blame Paterson. We blame a man who dragged his feet and ultimately stood athwart history denying you your rightful seat at one of the most exclusive clubs on the planet.
What his motivations were, we’re not sure, Princess. Was it some dubious nod to democracy in acknowledging that the New York Senate seat would not become another permanent Kennedy seat? Was he somehow implying that the rabble of Staten Island and Utica should have a say in representing them? Sheesh. If Paterson really is that far gone then there may not be hope for the rest us… and the rest of the Kennedy clan…and our representative republic as we know it.
Cheer up, Princess. We won’t stop fighting for you. Our efforts to see that you and others from prominent and politically-connected families won’t have to waste effort and hairspray on expensive, time-consuming and degrading processes like campaigns and elections. Elections….. like, ick.
To you, Princess.
