Paris Hilton to the Senate?

Can an enormously wealthy socialite with no resume who refuses to disclose even the smallest detail of her fortune do the people's business? Remember, this is reality, not a Frank Capra movie where everyone is nice and good-hearted.

I speak of Caroline Kennedy, not Paris Hilton, but on closer inspection, the personal accomplishments of both actually favor Hilton.

Kennedy won't release her records because it will show that her money comes not from work, but from investments and trusts.

At least Hilton works as a model and professional bimbo. She, too, should feel right at home in the Senate.

Caroline Kennedy: The $100M Woman:
"Caroline Kennedy will feel right at home in the Millionaires' Club known as the U.S. Senate: The Camelot heiress' net worth easily tops $100 million, a Daily News review found.

The former First Daughter is refusing to release financial information as she seeks to become New York's next senator, maintaining her family dynasty's longstanding practice of keeping its fortune tightly under wraps.

Public records paint a portrait of an enormously wealthy 51-year-old woman...

...Aides said Caroline Kennedy will not release her tax returns if appointed to the Senate by Gov. Paterson. Her spokesman Stefan Friedman declined to comment Tuesday on her finances. "
