Entitled political heir objects to maneuvers of entitled political heir

So it seems that someone has finally started to push back on the idea that you should name Caroline Kennedy to the NY Senate seat because her last name is Kennedy. Who is this brave soul valiantly trying to put the brakes on the nomination? Andrew Cuomo, who's more than a little torqued that she cut in front of him, is usurping his throne, and just in general all pissy that there's one prestigious last name in New York that's more famous than his. This will not stand, man.

Even as Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo insisted he was staying out of the competition for New York’s soon-to-be-vacant Senate seat, a top Cuomo aide urged labor leaders and upstate officials to refrain from embracing Caroline Kennedy for the job, according to several people with direct knowledge of the conversations.

Two of the people, including a prominent upstate Democratic operative, said the Cuomo aide, Joseph Percoco, had suggested the upstate officials give Ms. Kennedy a cold reception and had questioned her credentials.

“He said, ‘Don’t you think it should be someone who understands upstate? Don’t you think it should be someone with experience? Shouldn’t it be somebody who knows New York better?’ ” said the operative, who spoke anonymously out of fear of antagonizing the attorney general. “They’ve been trying to feed people.”

Shouldn't it be the person with the last name of a father who served the state more recently? I mean Mario Cuomo was Governor in 1994, I don't recall John F. Kennedy doing anything of note since late 1963. These legacy kids get rough when these offices of inheritance come up. Legally I don't know what claim Cuomo has on a Senator's seat, his father was Governor and thus he is the rightful heir to Patterson. Bobby Kennedy was a New York Senator, so that means Caroline has some sort of claim on the seat, but only if Robert Kennedy Jr doesn't step forward to take it. He hasn't so we're all clear on that front. I think that Caroline's move is legal under the Monarchical Succession provisions of the Magna Carta.

Listen, instead of all this political back biting and snippy calls to legislators, why don't we settle this the old fashioned way? You both sharpen your silver spoons to prison shiv quality knifing implements, meet in front of the statehouse, and have a 'to the death' shank off. Or have your butlers do it for you. Only then will we know who is ready to lead.
