Caroline Kennedy, You Know, Might Need, You Know, A Speech Coach, Um, If She, You Know, Wants, Um, To Be Senator

Um, you know?
Caroline Kennedy, who gave a flurry of media interviews on Friday and
Saturday, revealed some cringing verbal tics that showed her
inexperience as a speaker, experts told the Daily News.
In a 30-minute session with The News on Saturday, Kennedy punctuated
her answers with "you know" more than 200 times. "Um" was fairly
constant, too.
Transcripts of her interviews with other media outlets showed the same
problem. She said "you know" at least 130 times to The New York Times
and more than 80 times on New York 1.
When The News asked if President Bush's tax cuts on the wealthy should
be repealed immediately, Kennedy replied:
"Well, you know, that's something, obviously, that, you know, in
principle and in the campaign, you know, I think that, um, the tax
cuts, you know, were expiring and needed to be repealed."
Jocelyn Rasmussen, a Manhattan voice coach, said Kennedy's verbal tics
don't necessarily betray weakness or doubt.
"She's just inexperienced," she said. "It's just a habit, the way
young people all say 'like' every other word. I don't think she even
knows she's doing it, to that degree."
Tim Malloy, a Pennsylvania speaking coach, suggested this cure: She
should learn how to pause and would benefit from coaching, or
listening to some recordings of the most famously eloquent Kennedy.
"She needs to listen to her father," he said.
Spokesman Stefan Friedman said, "Caroline has acknowledged that she
hasn't mastered the art of the political sound bite, but if Gov.
Paterson appoints her, she'll fight her heart out to make sure New
York families have their voices heard in Washington."

Well, but you know, Adaptive A.I., Post GM Robotics, Holograms,
Drones, AUVs, Cruise Missiles, Fiber Optics, E-Books, E-Libraries,
E-Publishing,
CD+rw, DVD-rom, DVD-ram, DVD-rw, HDTV, GPS, On-Line Banking, and
On-Line Publishing
were all mostly innovated, since New York Families already have so
many voices in Washington,
a lot of them are starting to sound like really nasal versions of
Rupert Murdoch.

Isn't that funny that rightards don't want Bush mentioned? He carried their
agenda
and now they're throwing him under the bus.

Conservatives have distorted and demonized the word "liberal,"
whose true political meaning is favoring progressive change,
humanistic values, and opposition to authoritarianism. They
identify it with governmental waste and tolerance of criminality,
when in fact they themselves are guilty of abuses such as corporate
welfare bail-outs and tax evasion, fraud against investors, and
other white-collar crime. Conservatives fear and oppose all change
and progress beyond "what's in it for me?"
At the core of conservatism is the Machiavellian bully - the
despotic practitioner of "might makes right," craving wealth and
power, and willing to use any and all means to get them.
Conservatism is the philosophy of the caveman wearing a business
suit.
AND THE CAVEMENS' CLUBS CAN NOW DESTROY OUR EARTH!

God, you're so stupid.
I never said I didn't want Bush's name mentioned, shit-for-brains.
I just find it more than a little amusing that you limited-thinking
loons can't mention anything else.

Well... he did fuck up his legacy... so I guess he deserves it.

God, I hate that. One reason you should never listen to sports figures
being interviewed. Their limited vocabulary and (likely) brain capacity
usually means they are about to bore you to death.

Clay, you know that's crap. He was appointed by the SC in 2000 and Ohio with
help of
Diebold in 04 gave him another. And the country suffered, suffered and
