... will challenge Paterson in next year's primary. Paterson, making friends fast, says Princess Caroline turned nasty on him. Much of the issue was "about respect," said one guest. Paterson said that Kennedy had called him to say she was having second thoughts and "he asked her to wait a day and he thought she had agreed," another attendee recalled. Then, he said, he couldn't get her on the phone for hours. "He was absolutely frustrated that he couldn't reach her," the guest said of how Paterson described the scene. "He thought maybe she was sick. He felt she was being nasty ...
Princess & the Pea... Governor Says Caroline Was Nasty to Him
Gateway Pundit —
They're still duking it out in New York... New York Governor Paterson attacked Caroline Kennedy at a party the night before he announced his pick to fill Hillary Clinton's senate seat. The New York Post reported, via Free Republic: Gov. Paterson rapped Caroline Kennedy at a private event the night before he tapped Kirsten Gillibrand for the Senate, telling guests Kennedy had been "nasty" to him and shown "disrespect" with how she bowed out, attendees told The Post. The governor's attack came just ...

... against conservative amendments -- but Obama did not, voting in favor of a number of liberal amendments. After one meeting, Kennedy chewed Obama out for his fickleness. (Months later, asked by a colleague why he had endorsed Obama for president, Kennedy gave a one-word answer: "Caroline.") Without reading too much into this anecdote, on immigration, at least, Barack Obama took care of his base and John McCain did not, and his base included Caroline Kennedy. She must indeed be a little bitter about now. 0 Comments: ...
Gov. Paterson Says Caroline Kennedy Dissed Him
Comments from Left Field —
... Again, take anything published in the New York Post with a grain of salt, but if even part of this is accurate, I would say that Gov. Paterson is competing with Rod Blagojevich for the title of “crazy as a loon,” and I would also say that Caroline Kennedy is well rid of him. ...

... political establishment against him personally . As the story indicates, Andrew Cuomo refused to attend the announcement of Gillibrand's appointment, despite the fact that Gillibrand once worked for him. This, of course, is the culmination of a process that lacked dignity, discipline and any semblance of seriousness; the Governor treated the duty to appoint a new Senator as an opportunity to grandstand and showboat in a way that caused the entire process to look silly and comical. Speaking of silly and comical . . . Gov. Paterson rapped Caroline Kennedy at a private event the ...
