Is this really happening? If the latest story is true - Caroline Kennedy decided to withdraw her name from consideration for the New York Senate seat because of "personal issues" related to problems with taxes and housekeepers. Haven't we seen this before? Like, last week? And Kennedy, who has been running around the state of New York like a chicken with her head cut off trying to prove her political mettle, just realized this might be an issue? If this situation doesn't scream out for an segment of "Really!??! with Seth and Amy," I don't know what does. In fairness, given that this story has changed multiple times in the last 24 hours, this may not be the final story. No matter what the real reasons, however, there is no question that this bungled withdrawal is just another example of the sophomoric way in which this awkward campaign for appointment to the Senate has played out over the last month and a half. New York deserves better.

why does this always happen. "I'm so excited to be the (insert high public title) of (state/town/nation)!" and then fast forward right before the confirmation, and it's all, "Oh whoops totally forgot about our beloved Zelda, who has lived with our family for 10 years and I paid in cash. I thought we were just trying to stay out of debt, but my husband/wife just informed me it was because she doesn't have the proper documentation." What a joke...
