Rumors of a Caroline Kennedy affair are upsetting Camelot and rocking New York politics. Read the story here. Who is Caroline Kennedy secretly dating if anyone? And did this heel cost her the senate nomination?
Kennedy Affairs of State
Those are the questions being asked in the 24 hours since her bombshell withdrawal from consideration for the senate seat appointment by New York Governor David Patterson. Within a few short hours of midnight she withdrew for “personal reasons,” re-entered the race, and exited again among a flurry of affirmations and denials from her own associates and those of the governor. Only a day earlier she was considered a shoo-in for the job.
One wonders if Caroline Kennedy was blackmailed into withdrawing by a political rival for the seat. We don’t know, but we do know what is getting reported on Fox News and MSNBC. See the Chris Matthews and Bill O’Reilly videos below.
The rumor is that a Caroline Kennedy affair may exist, and that means the shoe may fit. The rumored buddy is none other than liberal New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, known as “Pinchy” Sulzberger by both friend and foe. He is married but in the middle of divorce after 33 years of marital bliss with wife Gail Gregg.
And what about Caroline Kennedy’s marriage? Her husband is talented designer Edwin Schlossberg. Nobody has produced any evidence of an affair although it is generally recognized that they are close friends. Gawker reports that dinner-party gossip began almost a year ago after Pinch’s split.
We hope that is not true although the speculation is rampant. Caroline Kennedy’s public persona is that of a kind woman, although perhaps naive and unprepared for the rigors of politics. But she is a Kennedy, and that fact alone goes a long way in the public’s eye. If a state can elect Jesse Ventura or Al Franken to public office, surely we can handle Caroline Kennedy. She may even command the deference to be effective.
But a Caroline Kennedy affair? Say it ain’t so.

Well, just shows the Kennedy’s believe in equal rights…why let the guys do all the cheating?

“shoe-in” ? or “shoo-in”
“getting a divorce after 33 years of marital bliss” — if they enjoyed marital bliss they wouldn’t be getting a divorce, would they?
No wonder you can’t get a job in mainstream media.

Gee Sue.
Its pretty simple, isnt it ?
It was blissful until it wasnt, right ?
The key word there would be “after”
Talk about petty pedantry, sheez.
For the people of NY this was a blessing.
I may not agree with all of Pattersons positions, but he is pragmatic and at least the man doesnt evade to BS or beat around the bush when he speaks.

“I’m a democrate, ya know.”
“I did not have sexual relations with that NYT guy, ya know.”
“I’m a Kennedy, ya know.”
“I raise money for charity, ya know, but I don’t give MY money to the charity, ya know.”

She like Jackie always gave me the hibby jibbies. Just something about them that ain’t right. Kind of rich snobbish attitude because of the name and nothing else.
Like Ted Kennedy stabbed Bush in the back. The whole Kennedy clan are all inbreed and really are creepy.
“I am a Kennedy and we know everything so there.”
I say we give them back to Ireland and $100 million.

Sweet Caroline couldn’t take the heat.

Sorry Mickey. The sentence “He is married but in the middle of divorce after 33 years of marital bliss with wife Gail Gregg” simply does not work. One does not get divorced as a result of “bliss” (unless bliss with someone else!)
What the bozo meant to say was that they were getting divorced “after 33 years of marriage” but he opted for the flowery oxymoron instead. Lousy writers try to spruce up their bad prose with cliches, as this clown has done. Better for McCain to do something productive, like, say, day labour.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy, if it could only be with Obama (i.e., the picture above), then you might have something!
If it had not been for JFK, who really WAS against communism, instead of just talking about it, we’d all be nuclear dust now.
January 23rd, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Edward,
Do you ever research anything before you talk. Kennedy was to busy getting busy to fight communism.
It was Reagan that caused the fall of the Soviets.
But You think whatever you want. I just hope your parents did not spend a lot of money on your education. If they did, you owe them a refund.

The Kennedy’s are known for their sexual promiscuity …it’s on their genes! What do you expect? We just elected to play dumb, deaf and blind because we are all enamored of them. They are America’s sweetheart after all….yaiks :-p

Wow, repeating all this rumor and innuendo without trying to verify anything; it looks just like the way Sarah Palin was treated in the blogospere by the libs. Try to stick to the facts and this country will be better for it. If you want juicy facts, why don’t you say things like Laura Bush killed her high-school friend.

I doubt this story is true. Another right wingnut spreading their lies.
January 25th, 2009 at 12:02 am
She is a Kennedy. They are know for having affairs, having Murphy’s Law occur with planes and ski slopes, and being egomanical elitists.
January 25th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
I doubt the story. She looks like a scarecrow.
January 26th, 2009 at 4:41 am
Well it would make sense given those two stupid back to back puff pieces on January 17 and January 19 about Kennedy in the Times. One was about how shy she was. Gimme a break. They neglected to do any stories on Gillibrand before she was selected, even though the buzz on her on political blogs and NPR had been strong for weeks. I am guessing that’s what it was.

susan x,
there is no such word as oxymoron. only an idiot would say such a thing, or should i say an oxymoron
January 26th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Whatever, this sounds like payback to the NY times for writing about an “alleged” McCain affair with a lobbyist.
Still, glad she’s out.
January 26th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
And rebecca,
if you had a dictionary, you would know that oxymoron is a word, but susan x is using it incorrectly.
January 26th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
“He is married but in the middle of divorce after 33 years of marital bliss with wife Gail Gregg”
well the point is “divorce AFTER 33 years of marital bliss”
maybe it was 33 years of bliss and two weeks of hell

so… any of you dumbo’s notice the background on the two “reporter” (female on Hardball and old guy on Factor) are actually reporting from the same room…actually in the same spot in the same room…..
And both work for news corp…ol Ruperts company

[...] We tolerate the lack of respect by people like the Governors of New York and Illinois in making Senatorial appointments a mockery. This is exasperated by the press, who loves the news opportunity, rather than being embarrassed to support this trash. As an example, the press was rampant with totally unsubstantiated stories about Caroline Kennedy’s potential affairs. [...]

[...] Times is reporting that Mr. Rooney heads the list. His competition includes Caroline Kennedy, and since she is busy banging publishers, we should begin welcoming Ireland as the newest addition to Steeler nation. The tally now standing [...]
