Caroline Kennedy's response to NBC on reasons why she quit her pursuit of Hillary Clinton's old senate seat won't be put to rest simply by her appearance on the show. It seems the Kennedy curiosity the world has only intensifies whenever any Kennedy responds to questions,or attempts to explain their actions. When Kennedy answered the above question on the Today Show, she said reports of her quitting the bid for the senate seat due to her husband and children remarking she was becoming "angry and intense" were untrue. She ended the NBC interview by stating she had "moved on".
It appears that Kennedy's statement is doomed to only attract more curiosity. Caroline's answer was good in that it put the question to rest for the moment of the interview, but leaves it wide open for an eternity of speculation.
Jacqueline Kennedy was known for protecting herself and her children from the public-eye. Whenever a new photo appeared of Jackie Kennedy and her children,we couldn't get enough. Just the scantiness of information and photos made us want more and more.
Back in 1991,when Ted Kennedy's approval rating had dropped among his home voters to 21%, he made a famous address at Harvard and said:
I am painfully aware that the criticism directed at me in recent months involves far more than honest disagreements with my positions, or the usual criticism from the far right. To them I say: I recognize my own shortcomings -- the faults in the conduct of my private life. I realize that I alone am responsible for them, and I am the one who must confront them." He added, "I believe that each of us as individuals must not only struggle to make a better world, but to make ourselves better, too.
This statement made above by Kennedy appeared to answer, and then again not answer, the criticism he was receiving on his lack of support for the plight of Anita Hill, and on the ever-hanging cloud surrounding the Chappaquiddick controversy. Yet note he never quite says...for sure. It appears to be the way the Kennedys explain things without ever being quite specific. It was the most he ever said about any controversy.
So we can expect the conjecturing to continue with Edward Klein's new book on "Ted Kennedy: The Dream that never Died",for Caroline Kennedy is already disputing facts made in the book. This in itself will only spawn new articles trying to fill the our curiosity for more Kennedy "facts".
