  • I'm surprised knowing how left wing she would've been Cenk didn't think this would be a good idea

  • Love you Caroline. I have read all of your books. I grew up with you. Your parents would be so proud. Stay strong. Jeanne in Manhattan

  • lmfao!! Cenk keeps it real.

  • she evaded taxes, Greed runs in her blood, just like her mother

  • Are yOu raising mOnies fOr charity?

    yOu lOOk well fed.

    If it dOn't take much,just give mOney tO charity tOO * yOu at TYT!!! *

  • mOney is debt!

    Check it Out!

    nOw a gOOd time.

  • Caroline Kennedy know all to well about america. When was the last time the Gov Killed your dad? Caroline was born in it. A real G. She got my vote.Think. The big set is going to come down to Palin or Caroline. Obama can't be there forever. I pick Kennedy we have a chance if we get her in as Senator now. We have our eyes on the Gov.This is not 1963 they can't just kill Caroline and get away with it. Plus they know Black people will go crazy if they kill another Kennedy in cold blood. David Ary

  • @2DavidAry Caroline Kennedy had no qualifications to become a U.S. Senator. Period. Your rambling made no sense. You actually suggested that she could become president one day? Give me a break.

  • This guy is just another AH! Big mouth, Shit for Brains.

  • george w got the job cause of his dad. Caroline Kennedy being a Senator would be way less harmful than George W as president

  • Comment removed

  • u suck ur dick ass hole.

  • she will get in because of what happened to her daddy.

  • Did Ted Kennedy and Caroline have an affair?

  • ouch, i sure hope not. he is her uncle. that's some kentuckyish stuff.

  • She'd be better than Gillibrand.

    Maloney 2010

  • It's a lot like the celebs coming onto venues like YouTube and BlogTalkRadio. They just swoop in and steal the thunder of us "little people" who work our asses off.

  • No, nepotism isn't a reason to get a high political office. Even though its basically how plenty of politicians got there anyway.

  • She's had no legislative or governing experience whatsoever. Just because you've got a famous last name doesn't mean you have the smarts for the job, or that you automatically go to the top of the list.

    Let her earn her way into the Senate, not have the job handed to her on a silver platter.

  • She has pretty much the same experience as Sarah Palin had and.....oh yeah...Barack Obama! None at all! Wake up America.

  • Pure and simple, if she had been Caroline Jones and not Caroline Kennedy, no one would have even placed her name on a list as a senate possibility. Many democrats, however, are so overcome by the Kennedy name that they feel that anyone with that name automatically has the "right stuff" for any political office. Sad.

  • Caroline is an aristocrat who does not have to serve but wants to. kennedy's rule! She would have Obamas ear, plenty of mentoring and a citizen perspective on govt. Is that experience?

    As a senator you only do 2 things ... get $ for your state, and focus on a serious cause .... if your a dem,

    try to leave a mark. i know where she'll vote on the issues... i would like to understand what ny needs and seek to ask candidates to fill. what does NY need?

    pragmatism. Caroline has that and more.

  • Should Ms. Kennedy receive this seat, it would be due to her name and her families connections/money and what they would do for Patterson only (it would be all to similar to what Blagojavich did). Kennedy is shameless in her demanding of the seat. I do not like Sarah Palin, but she had to work through and ELECTION to get to where she is.

    The seat should go to someone more qualified such as Cuomo, Maloney, or Gildibrand.

  • Ms. Kennedy has NEVER held a regular job....RARELY voted in general elections...NEVER held a public office...donated lesss than .03% of her net worth to political causes... most recently to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. (curious?) Besides attending gallery gallas and garden parties she has intentionally remained out of the public purview. ("I'll have to work twice as hard"...whine). She might start by taking a public speaking course. Even Joe The Plumber has her beat on that score.

  • I wish she'd go to Dallas and hang around a grassy knoll.

  • I do agree with everything you said. And I'd like to add that the same thing is applicable to Hellonwheels Clinton. There was no way she qualified to be anything but a concentration camp guard.

    That said, you didn't need 5 minutes to say what you said.

  • Hey, lack of qualification seems to be the theme these days.

  • sweet clip

  • i agreee... i'm so sick of her now

  • We are supposed to be a democracy we should not allow individuals such as the Kennedy's or Bush's to use their names as a benefit for political gain (That's called a Monarchy)lets begin to act like it is the 21st century for a change!

  • only one disagreement with your comment, we are a republic not a democracy.

  • Democracy: Govt. by the people through elected representatives.

    Republic:Country in which the supreme power is held by the people or their representatives.

    Don't split hairs.

    The point being that we do not need an official who is trying to garner votes by using her name as if she has a political right.

  • Caroline Kennedy appears to be losing momentum in her bid for Hillary Clinton's U.S. Senate seat.

    A new survey conducted by Public Policy Polling shows 58 percent of voters would prefer to see Gov. David Paterson appoint state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to the seat.

    That's compared to Kennedy's 27 percent.

    Among Democratic voters, Cuomo leads by about 20 points. That's about the same lead Kennedy enjoyed just a month earlier. YOU KNOW!

  • Caroline Kennedy supported Obama. Obama was friends with Bill Ayers. Bill Ayers dedicated a book he wrote to Sirhan Sirhan. What does this mean? Liberals are crazy.

  • I never want to see a politian with the last names Clinton, Bush, or Kennedy. We dont fucking take to dynasties around these parts

  • shes using new york as a steppin stone.

  • I agree JunkMan16

  • BD101-They voted in Hillary didnt they? I live in the South and we I love NY here, but I dont think they get it!

  • Can't wait until the NY voters give both Patterson and Caroline Kennedy the boot, neither one of them earned their seat in government....

  • I CANT WAIT TO BOOT THEM OUT!!! I cant help that the adults when I was younger screwed up big time and elected IDIOTS to our state government.

  • look at caroline kennedy and harry ried and obama, and tell me or do not tell me, tell u, who would be a better friend as a human being 2 u? sarah palin dick cheyne bill orielly?

    oh, rush limb , palin is a snake and poor caroline kennedy is a true nice person, it is my belief!!! i know who i would want as an honest friend!!! i think if u out there do not think, that Caroline can not do a superior ethical job of what ever she does, you are "all" dead wrong unfortunatly for this country. GO C K!

  • The point is that Sarah Palin was ELECTED a position. She campaigned and probably worked hard for her spot (not that she is qualified to be vice president anyway though). Caroline Kennedy is getting a potential free ride as senator without having to do ANYTHING; she's essentially getting voted in by one person.

  • If Dems excoriated Sarah Palin for not being qualified to hold public office, shouldn't they apply the same standards all the way around? Shouldn't they be giving Caroline Kennedy the same scorn. Some are, but some seem to think that being a DEMOCRAT and woman, not to mention, gasp, a Kennedy automatically qualifies her for political office. That's not right....but it is hypocritical! Very.

  • Why doesn't Caroline Kennedy raise money so the 'little people' can go to 'the best' private schools, like most of the people her family have done? She didn't go to public school, did she?

  • if she getz thyz i'm gonna juss spit!

  • dumbass kennedys always getting what they want

    Rich bastards

  • exactly, drunken pill popping bastids should stay at the cape doing nothing.

  • This bitch endorsed Obama, then shit on Hilary during V.P. selection, and now she wants her Senate seat. If Hilary didn't have to save face, she should tell this bitch to go to Hell.

  • u are a bitch and if hillary knew u spoke for her like this she would not like it because bitch, Ms. Clinton is a lady as Ms. Caroline Kennedy. excuse me or not, but shit on your poor judgement on the world! BITCH!

  • Hey Timmie Girl...Sounds like you cannot handle the pressure of the truth. What is interesting is the Dems are afraid to support this dumber-than-dirt silver-spoon queen. Those wrinkles came from many hours in the sun. Without a job & nothing to do, she cannot even find time to vote when her party needed her. Shame, Shame, Shameful! They only wnt her for her name, it raises money from the rest of the DUMB-DUMB-DEMS! Now you know the rest of the story.

  • rich white women using new york as a steppin stone to further her career.

  • Oh how very special ! ... the little silver-spoon pampered bitch has grown weary living the life of the idle rich prima-donna and now wants to play Senator for awhile .. well, I guess what Tanguray Teddy's niece wants, she'll get, right ? ?

  • caroline a fool just like jfk, jfk jr, and jackie

    Ignorant people who think that get anything they want in life

  • this skank is a qualified for the senate as her brother a flight instructor. pity john john isn't around to pilot her campaign plane.

  • Looks like you're dumber than a bag of hammers just like she is. She makes Sarah Palin seem like Winston Churchill by comparison. At least Palin's got real experience and doesn't sound like a babbling, nervous teenager, .... ya know?

  • listen idiots, Ms. Kennedy is not dumb and a liar like sarah palin, i am not a dumb person like u either there is no speaking to people like yourself sir, i am a woman not a man as u had thought.

    what if Ms. Kennedy stuttered? would that make her or anyone else disqualified?

    she is honest smart in a correct way, i would rather have obama emanuel caroline biden boxer and Senator H.Ried watching my back then that palin and her kin!

    like i had mentioned earlier, there is no intel convers w u sr

  • She is dumb as dirt, just as you are, TimTimKitty00

  • This is exactly why this country is going to hell in a handbasket. Liberalism is a sin in itself. You babykiller.

  • Idiots are taking over. NY is leading the pack. Blago is making money & Barack wants nothing to do with the people that made him. The machine in Chicago. Hide baby hide. Wait, you got yours coming in spades!

  • Tim, You cannot be serious. Caring is not qualification. Of course, the senate now has 59 unqualified quacks. The house is led by a very big quack. We have a Banking queen that likes little boys & a pres elect that cannot make a decision. Wiyhout a teleprompter, he can't speak either. Uh-Uh-Uh. This country has dummed down with all this 3rd grade liberal crap. Get off the planet already!!!!!!!!

  • OMG!!! JunkMan 16, you are right on!

  • Thanks for the support GEB!

  • She didn't even vote for position she now wants! She stated she was 'unaware' of her own voting record, but she will get it, the media picks who they want, and the sheeple are ignorant (i.e: Obama).

  • The media will shove Caroline Kennedy down our throat like they did Obama.

  • I wonder if she used schlossberg if any one would know who she is.

  • Then again, I have to add that a *number* of senators are just as unqualified as Ms. Kennedy is so...

  • She's going to be appointed. But man.. it's a slap in the face to our so-called "meritocracy"

  • Caroline- A senate seat isn't packaged in your inheritance.

  • why does she say 9/11 is one of the reasons she's seeking this office? that was over 7 years ago and she's only seeking public office now? she's as corrupt as her adulterous father and murderous uncle. it's in her blood. what she should really do is eat a sandwich and get some botox, that is one sad face to look at... she makes hillary look like sarah... hahaha

  • I couldn't agree more! New York will do fine without her...

  • the rushie herbert hoover neocons would have you believe that caroline is like palin ... but a close look at palin will show that she is just an empty suit .. i still remember the time when she told barak that she will make him wish he picked hillary .. hehehe .. carolin picked biden and biden dragged palin all over the coals during the debate .. palin just couldn't answer the debate questions so started by admitting that she wouldn't answer the question asked then spouted more campaign rhetoric

  • Is this a first time?

    Am I agreeing with the Young Turk?

    Of course Caroline Kennedy doesn't deserve the NY seat. As you correctly say..........

    she has no experience.

    Now..........................

    if she had been, well, let's say,

    a town mayor, or the Governor of a State.....

    or better yet, both a mayor and a governor, then any clear thinking person, (even you Cenk), could endorse her.

    Right?

  • Caroline K will get the appointment because of her name, not whether she's qualified. Look at the bright side, she can't be worse than her uncle.

  • Caroline Kennedy makes Sarah Palin look like Obama

  • The Kennedy clan are Monets. They look nice from a distance but close up...it's WTF !?

  • NO. She does not deserve the NY senate seat. NNOOOOO experice!!!NNOOONNNEEEE!!! She went from an average person like me then shot clear wwaayyy up next to God,then expects shes the person for the job. The liberal bias mainstream media makes her look like the perfect person for the job Because of her last name. I do think she is a nice person though.

  • I think Caroline does deserve the Senate seat. She's a great woman.

  • Caroline isn't qualified, Bush wasn't qualified, Obama isn't qualified, Palin wouldn't have been qualified, the CEOs of the big 3 weren't/aren't qualified, Freddie/Fannie mgrs weren't/aren't qualified, authors of Community Reinvestment Act/Acorn suit v. Citibank not qualified, & the list goes on. All current crises a result of deficient/weak leadership. Choosing leaders based on popularity/good looks, rather than objective knowledge will bring more idiotic decisions. NO MORE TIN HORNS!

  • I'm not sure that Caroline Kennedy is not qualified for the job. If you look who's in the Senate already...well.

    I'm intrigued by the Caroline fans who cite her Law Degree as litmus-test proof that she's qaulified. Oh yes, by all means a LAW Degree is what every US Senator should be required to possess. THAT's what America really needs: Lawyers running everything.

    Sorry, I'm not opposed to Caroline, just troubled by those who are smitten with good students who passed the bar.

  • WOW, I am shocked that me and you see eye to eye on this one. Great video dude.

  • Hey, Kennedys, What's in a name? Bay of Pigs failure, Vietnam "advisors" sent to Vietnam to start things off, Standoff to Nuclear War over Cuba? Wiretaps of MLK, Deals with the Mafia for Election, Think it was only Marilyn Monroe? Riches from bootlegging, Bay of Chappaquidick manslaughter, William Smith Drinking Buddy? And lots more.

    Hey, Kennedys, we know you've done some good things, too. After all, that's ever rammed down our throats.

    So Caroline. This New Yorker ain't biting. Try Monaco.

  • I am endorsing Caroline Kennedy for U.S. Senate

  • Hillary Clinton didnt deserve the Senate seat in NY-they handed it to her so why not pass it off to another political family

  • I'm not Hillary's biggest fan, but they didn't hand it to her. She won it in the 2000 elections. Enough New yorkers thought she did deserve it and elected her.

    But in regards to Caroline Kennedy:

    Nope, she doesn't deserve it.

    She hasn't earned it.

    She shouldn't be given it on a silver platter.

    Let's say her name was Caroline "Smith". In that situation she'd be laughed at as a potential candidate to fill the senate seat.

  • Cenk, you are my hero. I work for Military Intelligence, can i have a job?

  • I agree... I am sure she wants to join the superstar wonder team someday. A more qualified, no name canidate that will truly appreciate the appointment...

    If its about teh money appoint her to be the chairman of election funds under a the new senator is fine with me. If she cares that much she will be fine with it. American Royality..should have to earn the seat too. period.

  • I concur Cenk!!!

  • I would agree if Hillary didn't do the same thing. I don't care if she was elected, she was elected cause of her NAME. Just like many of her supporters kept saying during the primary that they were voting for her cause she's Bill's wife and and they wanted him back in the WH.

  • Wow C-baby got no rack...

    Girl too flat to be no Senator!

  • Great points.

  • Cenk is right on target here!

  • Yea, she wouldn't be anything without her last name like Clinton.

  • 3rd

  • I gotta agree with Cenk here.

  • Sorry, but that's the reality of this country. Earned it? When has anyone in power earned a damn thing? I hate it just as much as anybody else, but nobody is going to do a damn thing about it, just like nobody is going to do a damn thing about the crimes of the Bush Administration or the $1.6 Billion in bonuses to bank execs. NOTHING.

  • I had no idea Caroline Kennedy was involved in Politics. Oh wait, she isn't.

  • I'm with Cent here.

    Kennedy for senate, WEAK SAUCE!!

  • uhh.. no?

  • Okay, I'm so tired of the comments about the soda. DRINK DIET SODA. lol And maybe take the stairs instead of the elevator :p

  • I'm with ya' on this one.

  • This is the best report I have ever seen done by TYT. Giving it a five star rating.

    It could not have been better expressed about how so many feel about the subject across the country.

  • yeah what the fuck! this is unbelievable, i hope she loses and people will realize she's doesn't qualify. I hate people like that, using their names to climb up the latter.

  • I really like Caroline Kennedy, but I see Cenk's point. She shouldn't be nominated as a senator just because she has the Kennedy name. My guess is though that Paterson will end up nominating her.

  • Why is this even being discussed? SHE IS A KENNEDY FOR GODS SAKE A KENNEDY THAT MUST BE THE FINALE NAIL IN THE COFFIN!

  • oh give her a break her last name is Kennedy

  • This is why I listen to you guys. You attack the right, but if there's something wrong with the left, you don't protect them, you treat them the same.

  • Paterson wants to raise our taxes on soda! He should raise the taxes on millionares like caroline Kennedy who,s tryin to buy her way into the SEnate.

  • don't know much about her, but i really want a woman to take hillary's place. just my 2 cents...

  • sara palin would be good, hey fuck you too damn you blue state whores

  • why so angry??? palin! really? get off your soap box, STAT!!!

  • hey i always finish my sentence with liberals by calling them stuff like that. i consider calling liberals out on their sins is doing god's work. hey you just stop doing it okay blow job joe

  • joe-the-blowjob?

  • God doesn't exist.

    Never has.

    Research. Learn more.

  • and 2 the moron who compared Caroline to Palin is like comparing Obama to Bush.

    Caroline is the Director of the Commission on Presidential Debates and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund!

    She's a Constitutional Expert who wrote books:

    -In Our Defense: The Bill of Rights In Action - The Right to Privacy!

    By all means put the bitchy hysteria on the side and produce equivalent names....after all those of us from NY would choice our senate in 2010....so far NY resident don't mind her.

  • wow Turk, never thought you were so ignorant...it took you that long and you cannot even get her record right.

    I've yet to hear anyone make an objection to why she should not be appointed since our governor would appoint anyone to began with.

    she didn't just support Barack Obama...she was one of 2 people who finalized who his VP choice should be...you know the guy next to Obama and aught to be qualified for presidency: Biden.

  • aren't you tired of seeing familiar names taking over important government positions though?

    Bush, Clinton AND Kennedy?

    No thank you. There are 300 million Americans. We have no shortage of people qualified for the job so there is no need to give the senate seats to famous people.

  • Don't forget about the Doles too.

    But I agree with you for sure.

  • Why do NY senate seats go to the female family members of former democratic presidents?  If the bush crap didn't teach us something. No more monarchies and royal families.

  • Seriously I thought the US was moving forwards and getting away from these political dynasties? Didn't you learn enough from the mistakes you made by electing Bush, another politician that rode his family's name and influence into office? And CK isn't even a real politician! What is in a name? This is lunacy.

  • What if we were talking about Clinton's Daughter would we say the same thing. I don't think we would go as hard on her! I will say this give her a chance and see what she can do! If she messes up vote here out. Clinton was not a New Yorker when she got the job! Her Clinton's kid been in New York longer than Clinton has!

  • I would, and I love the Clintons. Clinton's daughter is not someoen who should be given a senat seat just because of who her father is or family is!! If this were Bush's daughter, would people be ok if they gave a seat to he in Texas?

  • could the bush girl go to daddy for advice i think not you fucking whore.  caroline could go to teddy etc etc etc for political advice and caroline is way smarter than bush gene

    okay i win and yes you get off your dog now

  • Yeah, real winner.

  • Right on!! Couldnt agree more, this is the Dem's version of Palin, is shameful. OUr Palin is better than their palin though, but its a Palin. Some pretty face with no real qualifications.

  • kennedy kennedy.....mmmrrrrrrrr kkkeeennnneeeddddyyyy kennedy that's who should be considered for cabinet.

  • Cenk...she's a Kennedy! Nuff Said. (She will get elected, mark my words.)

  • fair and ballanced

  • Agree with you completely Cenk. I am most annoyed by this idea of American royalty, and also the fact that so many party people bend the rules for their own people. These are politicians, this is their job, we are their bosses. Don't let anyone take shortcuts like this. Ridiculous.

  • so what. I love her. She'll be great.

  • You are right, she didn't earn it. Can she do the job? Sure. If dumbass Bush can be pres, she can be a senator. Is she the best person for the job? No. If she does get in, then we would be on our way to maybe 75+ years of Kennedy's in high gov office. And people were complaining about the Clintons.

  • give her the chance. kennedy's have been great for america. plus her dad and uncle never really got a chance, she could make up for it.

  • Cenk seems like he is back to his old self.

  • even Sarah Palin is more qualified

  • For once I agree with you WKaliber. It's a Christmas miracle.

  • The Kennedys are crooks. Always were,

  • don't feel bad Cenk. you're right.

  • Agreed. There are people whom deserve the position.

  • I agree 100% and I love you guys for actually saying that!!

  • I'd like to see Kennedy take the seat, but it'd still make us Dems hypocrites because we critised the also unqualified Palin.

  • So what if she has just been successful because of her name? If her name continues to help the democratic party once she's in the Senate, then great! It might not be fair to the individuals who have been working hard to get that seat, but it might be the best thing for the party. People are more likely to side with her than with some other random hard worker because she IS Caroline Kennedy! It's unfair, but we can still use it.

  • In these times of EXTREME CORRUPTION,

    WE WANT SOMEONE WHO IS QUALIFIED !!!

    Kennedy, step aside please.

  • it's time to slip the grasp of ruling class families in the united states

  • Caroline Kennedy definately has the connections. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is debatable.

  • I like her. She's not the most deserving to be appointed, but I wouldn't mind so much if she was because I agree with her on positions. But it's still pretty much BS, like Cenk said others have been around and worked hard etc etc. Now if she won an outright election like Hillary did, that's a different story.

  • Caroline Kennedy going to Senate is just as fucked up as Bush son being elected after Bush farther and just as fucked up as Hilarry getting a Secretary of State job after her husband has been a president!!! This is becoming a monarchy, not democracy!!! Shame on you, America!

  • I agree 100% with Cenk on this one. You're just lucky that you don't live in the UK where the class system is utterly insane.

  • Cenk as always you have the facts right but the Kennedy name carries a lot of weight. I think we should give her a chance if she fails she will be voted out. Come on, we aren't giving her an executive position the Senate seat is just 1 vote.

  • Wow Liberals whacking Liberals, what has this world come to, unless those liberals are denying our 1st amendment rights.....

  • Liberals have free minds.

  • Liberals lack a MOB MENTALITY unlike conservatives!!!

  • We Liberals are always fair in judgment! We do not have a MOB MENTALITY like Conservatives!!!

  • if you cared as much about the promise Bush made to uphold the constitution as you do about this crap the world would be a much better place

  • why is this interesting video down?

  • yea there getting sued now.

  • I see turks, You have one of your ghost cells in the white house now.

    Your plan is almost complete!

  • That's bullshit, don't tell me TheYoungTurks removed this because they're secretly supporting her now because she is Democratic. I'm Democratic to, and you provide the fucking truth.

    She doesn't have political experience it's a fact.

  • who cares about political experience? did George Washington have any?

  • You are correct, I vented my anger in that comment thus I was narrow-sighted but I'm pissed how influential figures and her cohorts have Sarah Palinized her. Let's be honest, she has doesn't much and the fact her last name is Kennedy and her father was JFK is building an image that she has magic in politics. The media focuses on her so much I only discovered 2-3? other candidates out of the twelve running for Hillary's vacant seat. C'mon Normalais that's pretty fucking rediculous don't you think

  • how is this removed ??????? so iam Subscribe to this but can't watch it

  • To anyone who saw this, what did they say?

  • Cenk wins, you have owned her.

  • how is this removed.....i just watched it

  • what? why was this video removed? anyone know if there's another one of this video that's under a different user?

  • looks like TYT hit a soft spot with this one..

  • Removed? Did TYT hit a soft spot?!

  • It is no longer avalable!?!?!?

  • The Kennedys represent American royalty. Like thousands of Americans, much Kennedy blood flowed for the upliftment, preservation and integrity of this nation. This family has long dedicated itself to unwaivering service to this nation

    Yes, she should be retained not just for being a Kennedy per se but this young lady is fresh, unspoilt and has proven herself quite capable during recent past events.

    Thumbs up for Caroline. A fresh new face.

  • it doesn't take a lot of experience to be a political figure. She is no different than any other politican.

  • Yea just because she is a Kennedy doesn't mane a damn thing Hilary won that seat the wrong way also!

  • She's about as qualified for the senate as much as Palin was qualified for v.p. - - :(

    sorry not buying it either.

  • I agree with you 100%

    This is capitolism at its finest

  • WHERE'S THE MONEY, LEBOWSKI?! WHERE'S THE MONEY SH*THEAD!? LOL. I'm going to hear that every time she's on the news now.

  • I'd rather see her than Fran Drescher...
