Frankly, I don't care if Kennedy's appointment languishes, spoils, atrophies, antiquates, fossilizes or disappears off the face of the earth -- I'm still totally against her being appointed at all.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11213051268392108382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-73001293216662214532009-01-16T10:39:00.000-05:002009-01-16T10:39:00.000-05:00"but they also don’t get elected to higher office...."but they also don’t get elected to higher office." I am sorry but it is Paterson who chooses, so some election. Kennedy's appointment is not languishing, Hillary has not even resigned yet since she has not been confirmed. Obama had already resigned when Blago selected Burris. The "languishing" you are referring to simply does not exist, it would be presumptious for Paterson to state his pick now.<BR/><BR/>charoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
