(H/T: Instapundit) Compare the version that Ann Althouse read – in which the Times compared Kennedy to Palin, and not in the correct way* – with the version that appears there now. It did exist: searching via a phrase found only in the first version leads back to the Times article (yes, I screenshotted it).
Ach, well. I guess somebody called up to complain. After all, what’s the point of having Democratic Great Houses if you can’t use them to protect the rights of the aristocratic class?

*Which is to say, they did not describe Kennedy as a talented politician with a proven ability to both win an election and instantly produce a national explosion of enthusiasm within her party’s base.

She's unqualified
GT350 Thursday, December 18th at 11:13AM EST (link)As an ex-Buffalo kid, it would be nice if a Senator from New York had ever ventured outside Manhattan and the Hamptons. Has she ever even been upstate before her publicity tour? Can she even pronounce Schenectady?
For that matter, does she have any policy experience? At all? What are her viewpoints? Has she ever run a business and does she know how a payroll works?
Oh, right. That’s not needed in a monarchy.
Wow, I bet someone in the proofreading department
Mark Malcolm (Diary) Thursday, December 18th at 12:11PM EST (link)is going to be in trouble for missing that one. Do they really think this sort of thing doesn’t get caught in this day and age of all these nifty electronic gizmos, thigamabobs, and pure talent on the internet? Ha!
What’s most appauling is the fact they’re telling a lie flat out and don’t think anything of it. She took questions in Syracuse. They just don’t like the answer(s) she gave.
Bet this would be a lead story if it had been someone from a family with a captial ‘R’ associated with them.
I may not agree with what you say but I’ll defend your right to say it to the very death.
I've never noticed...
kowalski (Diary) Thursday, December 18th at 12:34PM EST (link)I’ve never noticed until this moment that Caroline Kennedy is “double-jointed” at least on her left thumb. The photograph at the NYT shows her grasping at a button on her sportscoat From WiseGeek:
Is Hillary Clinton double-jointed? I know that Bill is, at least on the fingers of his hands. Maybe that’s why Caroline Kennedy is running:
“I’m Caroline Kennedy, and I’m double-jointed.”

In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.”
- George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 3

Maybe I should just take a nap.
“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”– Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964
