Chatty Cathy's string got stuck.

I wrote a piece about Obama and the economy - but forget it. I can't get my mind around "21". One reporter is saying that Rahm The Man in on tape 21 times talking with Blag. No wonder Obama is stalling. Chatty Cathy's string got stuck.

And I have stood back from the Caroline Senate Seat Grab. It is all so disheartening. Why her? There is no reason except, of course, her name. If the seat was in Idaho (The CLAN must have a ski lodge there. Or a ranch, or a 7-11, to justify an appointment.) I wouldn't be so bothered. But New York is overloaded with qualified people - esp women. That seat in particular is becoming a national joke. It's like an ambassadorship - handed out as a reward. Hillary, at least, worked her tail off once she'd decided to go for it.
Besides, I think Caroline is a bad choice for Democrats. Clinton had six years of experience, and gravitas when she had to run again. In 2010, Caroline will have neither. And 2010 is already shaping up as a GOP year.
