By Hugh Collins - AOL NewsNEW YORK -- A 41-year-old man accused of sending flowers, balloons and electronic love notes to Caroline Kennedy's college-age daughter isn't dangerous, but it's not clear that he understands why he's been charged with stalking JFK's granddaughter, his lawyer said today.

Harry Hamburg, AP Tatiana Schlossberg, 20, has been bombarded with love messages from a 41-year-old man who was ordered to undergo psychiatric evaluation ...
John Boehner Gets Emotional (Again) at JFK Event
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyHouse Speaker John Boehner, who grew up in a family of Kennedy Democrats in Ohio, appeared to tear up at an event at the U.S. Capitol marking the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's inauguration speech. Boehner was seated next to his predecessor, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, inside the Capitol Rotunda. About 15 minutes into the Thursday ceremony, he appeared to become emotional and wiped his eyes, The Hill newspaper and the Washington Post reported.

Vatican Rejects Caroline Kennedy as U.S. Ambassador Nominee Over Abortion
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyA diplomatic tug of war between the Catholic Church and the Vatican is taking place behind the scenes as the Vatican reportedly rejected a third nominee from President Barack Obama for the post of U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See.

According to veteran Vatican watcher Francis Rocca, of ...
Chris Matthews Slams Blogs Over Caroline Kennedy Rumors
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThanks to The Daily Beast for this clip of MSNBC's Chris Matthews chiding a NY Daily News reporter for introducing "blog stuff" into his show. Don't worry, Chris, just scrape it right off your shoe.sssGood for Matthews, but I hope he realizes that "the blogs" aren't the only place that false rumors about Caroline Kennedy have shown up. For example, the Associated Press "embarrassed itself. Twice!" according to a senior adviser to Governor David Paterson, when they printed poorly-sourced stories claiming that Kennedy was a shoo-in for the seat.The New York Times even printed a phony email from ...

Kennedy Circle Upset by Reports Citing Teddy
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyTo top off the pretty incredibly stupid handling of Caroline Kennedy's bid for Hillary Clinton's NY Senate seat outlined by my colleagues, ailing Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy's inner circle is none too pleased with reports that he was one of the reasons for her decision to forgo her push.As AOL's Melinda Henneberger pointed out in two reports today, the conflicting reasons given for Mrs. Schlossberg's withdrawal don't add up. Did Governor Paterson decide to go with another choice and allow her to take a graceful way out? Who's throwing out the stories about tax and nanny issues? Carolines ...
Caroline Kennedy Bid Was Mismanaged By Her Friends
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyMelinda Hennenberger's column today asks if David Paterson mishandled Caroline Kennedy's now-withdrawn bid to succeed Hillary Clinton as the junior senator from New York. Based on what I've seen, the biggest obstacle to its success, and the magnifier of her embarrassment, was the fervor of those who supported her. When news of Caroline's interest in the seat first broke, there was intense interest in the story. It was a bright, shining aspirin in the middle of the Blagojevich headache. Additionally, a lot of pressure was brought to bear on Governor Paterson to appoint Caroline, pressure he ...
