It's Okay, She's Royalty

Apparently, women running for political office get the full brunt of appearance criticism if and only if they are republicans/conservativs or if they are simply not the "right" sort of female democrat.

Sen. Clinton and Gov. Palin got run through the media mill for every outfit they wore and every color of lipstick they applied, but Caroline Kennedy has been given a pass.

It must be nice to be Queen. Especially when you have this in your past...

.... Caroline was routinely compared to her famously svelte mother, and as a result her self-esteem plummeted. In a fit of pique that bordered on the bizarre, she shaved off one eyebrow. "My face," she offered by way of explanation, "is too symmetrical."

I hope New York enjoys having crazy people representing them in the Senate.

That can only be a plus.
