Sarah, your 15 minutes are over...

Sarah Palin believes Caroline Kennedy is getting kid-glove treatment because of her "class" status.

Huh?

We have known Caroline Kennedy for almost 50 years.

She has never claimed to be an expert on New Jersey because she can see it from her apartment building in New York.

We know she selects her own newspapers, and can remember their names after she reads them.

We have never seen her wink repeatedly on national TV, nor have we ever seen her go to a debate only to tell the moderator that she does not intend to answer the questions, but to just talk directly to the American people- which most people would call a s-p-e-e-c-h.

Caroline Kennedy has never been involved in a scandal, but if she were she would not describe an investigation conducted by her own employees as "vindication".

Neither would Caroline Kennedy describe e-mails from her government e-mail account to her husband as "privileged" or "official confidential business".

Caroline Kennedy's husband was never a member of a group advocating New York's secession from the Union, nor did she ever give the keynote address at one of that group's conventions.

New York has 18 million people. Those are the people she will represent, and she will have to run for re-election when the partial term is over.

Yet, she has gotten more than 18 million people's worth of press coverage and critique.

Class difference? Oh, yes, Sarah, there definitely is a class difference between the two of you- in fact, there is a WORLD of difference.

However, that's not the reason for any variation in the way she is being treated.

The difference is that she is not scary, not an embarrassment, her position will be representing one state and not all fifty, and she will not be a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States- in line behind a 70-year old multiple-cancer survivor.

Remember the Donny Osmond song, "Go Away Little Girl"? Give it a try.
