Gov Patterson should appoint a black person instead of Princess Caroline

Apparently, he is considering the Princess. Since merit does not seem to be entering the equation, he should appoint a black Afro American. It is a shame that the USA has no black senators. We have enough rich, pampered air-headed Senators. He has an opportunity to single-handedly remedy the situation. Even if the Blago pick succeeds, Patterson can single-handedly double the number of black US Senators. Are you telling me he can’t find a single black African-American as qualified as The Princess? How about Al Sharpton? At least he has been involved in politics for several years.
