Where's the left when you need them?

I saw this editorial this morning at Fox News. It discussed how Caroline Kennedy has no real experience, has never been truly tested by the media and isn't ready to govern. Sound familiar? It should. These are all complaints that were squarely laid on Sarah Palin. In fact, Mrs. Palin actually has significantly more experience than Caroline Kennedy to be in Congress or to serve as Vice President. What does Caroline have? A name. That's it. The left is fawning all over her because she is a Kennedy without seeming to care that she has the exact same faults they complained about so vociferously with Palin. Oh wait, she is pro-gay marriage and pro abortion and she doesn't hunt moose. I guess that makes her eminently more qualified, eh? Actually, no, but it does make for some good political drama, I suppose. So, my question is, where is the leftist media insisting on a "tough" interview with the likes of Couric or Gibson and where are the leftist politicians who are so concerned with lack of experience? They are nowhere, that's where. As with most politicians, they don't see attacking Caroline Kennedy as advantageous, so they aren't. So, just for those of you who care, it is a classic double standard. Are the Republicans guilty of this at times too? Probably, haven't seen a recent example. In fact, most Republican politicians tend to get slapped down by even their own party when they screw up, at least recently. Nonetheless, they are politicians so I'm sure there is plenty of double standard to go around. However, this is a painfully obvious double standard that shows just how much the Democratic party cares about experience. They don't. Therefore, should you?
