Caroline is clearly Senate material

Caroline Kennedy answered written questions through a spokesman here.

She’ll fit right in on Capitol Hill. She supports the TARP bailout, even for the Big 3:

QUESTION 7: Do you support the auto bailout President Bush announced by Friday?

ANSWER: “Yes, Caroline supports the auto industry bailout package passed by the House of Representatives earlier this month and welcomes the president’s actions yesterday to use TARP funds.”

She supports Israel right down the line to attack on Iran:

QUESTION 8: Do you think Israel should negotiate with Hamas? Do you agree with Israel’s Gaza Strip embargo? Would you support an Israeli airstrike on Iran if they felt Tehran’s nuclear program represented a threat to their survival?

ANSWER: “Caroline Kennedy strongly supports a safe and secure Israel. She believe Israel’s security decisions should be left to Israel.”

She supports government’s support of both education and teacher unions in education: “…She supports charter schools, using government money for charters and the right of teachers to organize at charters if they choose.”

What more do we need to know? We New Yorkers should be grateful that Caroline Kennedy, a living and breathing representative of American royalty, has deigned to serve us.
