Thumbs Down on Caroline from the Radio Right

By JAgress on | From talkradiowatchdog.com

Several more personalities from the radio right have weighed-in on Caroline Kennedy’s drive to be replace Hillary Clinton as U.S. Senator from New York.

We reported yesterday that conservative feminist Tammy Bruce predicted the right wing will be at odds with any Democrat named to the seat; and that if she’s going to disagree with someone, it should be someone like Kennedy, who has “led her life with some dignity.”

As one might expect, many of Bruce’s colleagues don’t see it that way.

Sean Hannity on Caroline Kennedy in the Senate:

I’m sure she’s a lovely woman. I have nothing against her. But she’s not qualified. She has no experience to be a Senator from a state like New York.

Hannity said the mainstream media should investigate Kennedy as they did Sarah Palin.

As usual, Hannity and Rush Limbaugh are on the same page. Here’s Limbaugh:

She’s a dilettante. She’s a debutante. I don’t know the woman, but I have to think that there are some people in the Senate just as unqualified as she is. The difference is they did get elected….
It is kind of interesting… it’s quite illustrative to sit here and have ostensibly a serious conversation about the qualifications of Caroline Kennedy, which are zip, zero, nada. I mean let’s be honest, there are none, in the real sense, and yet, and yet the Drive-Bys spent months, the Democrats telling us Sarah Palin is not qualified, and she’s a governor! She’s been elected to a number of offices.

And Bill O’Reilly told his radio audience:

It’s ridiculous. We can’t be having this. She doesn’t know anything about how the folks are living, she’s a rich kid and she’s pretty much sat it out her whole life. She’s not a bad person… but we need problem solvers, people who are in touch with you.

So… no real surprises here, but we haven’t heard the last of it. Stay tuned.
