Camelot fades
The Weekly Standard has a nice take on Caroline Kennedy's political implosion. I would add that one reason why Caroline thought she would have been given the Senate seat on a silver platter is Hillary Clinton.
Clinton had an incredibly easy time with the press in 2000. As Chris Matthews admitted the consensus seems to have been that Hillary deserved a Senate seat because her husband got a hummer from a chubby chick. Caroline's father and uncle were assassinated while serving this country. Is it unfair to expect that Caroline would get as much sympathy from the press as did someone who was so phenomenally stupid that she was surprised that Bill Clinton was an adulterer?
