How Chelsea Clinton finally came of age

Suddenly a familiar face is popping up all over America - a young woman with a ready smile, a firm grasp of politics and two famous parents. Meet Chelsea Victoria Clinton: the not-so-secret new weapon in her mother's attempt to become the first woman President of the United States.

Last week she trekked the campaign trail all over Pennsylvania, the next state in the battle between Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination. At a meeting in the small town of Annville, deep in the heart of the battleground state, she spoke to students at the Lebanon Valley College.

Dressed in jeans and a grey blazer, she spoke slowly, calmly and in detail about her mother's policy positions and happily took questions from the assembled students. In a politician-like touch she sported a sweatshirt under her jacket emblazoned with the Lebanon Valley logo.

'I am here to help you think about what's important to you and hopefully support my mom,' she told the 400-strong crowd.

The meeting - and scores of others across the US in the past two months - seemed innocuous enough. But the emergence of Chelsea Clinton into a raucous electoral process is a stunning development. For the vast majority of Americans their abiding image of Chelsea is as a quiet, gawky teenager in the White House, surrounded by Secret Service agents, shielded from the media amid the drama and tumult of Bill Clinton's two-term presidency. She appeared the unwilling subject of a bright - and sometimes cruel - public spotlight without even a sibling to share the burden. 'To put it mildly, she's had a fairly unique experience,'

I sure hope she's not a chip off the old blocks.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

no it isn’t!!!!

[davisfh]

Best thing that could happen to this young woman would be that she falls in love with a staunch conservative. Probably won’t happen though.

Kiss off, Chelsea - I know what is important to me without assistance from anyone.

[Marko413]

From the article title, I assumed she'd be wearing a version of ol’ crusty.

[doodad]

Give’s a whole new meaning to Victoria’s Secret doesn’t it?

Must be nice to land a 6 figure salaried, you are not qualified for, job right out of college and then be able to just take off and fly around stumping for mommy.

[massgopguy]

“I’m here to help you think about what’s improtant to you”. QUIET, WHIPPERSNAPPER!

[1rudeboy]

That’s what steams me . . . not that she got the job in the first place, but her employer’s “vacation” policy.

Looking more and more like mamma pig every day.

[sweetiepiezer]

Ruined my lunch.

[ghostrider]

Give young clinton one of her father’s cigars. If she doesn’t like it, then tell her to put some ice on it.

[SmithL]

For your consideration:

[presidio9]

Ruined my lunch.

As first stated by Conan, I refuse to get behind John McCain until he does the right thing and begins sharing some of those delicious acorns he's got stashed away in his cheeks.

perfect

[MuttTheHoople]

She has the genetic potential to be the Harlot of Revelation 17.

[Oldexpat]

She gets a six figues salary working for an evil HEDGE fund and then gets time off to campaign for Skankles. I wonder what the payback for that will be.
She probably will get a seven figure bonus.
The hedge fund will get an earmark.
BTW..what fund is it?
Also..does anyone have pictures of Chelsea’s skankles?
Who’s did she inherit?

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

I am afraid you are going to be SADLY disappointed.....Behavior like the Clintons is learned early and seldom if ever unlearned.

[ArrogantBustard]

How can one be a harlot without ... “customers”?

[hosepipe]

[ Why, gollee, mizz Clinton, we sho do preeshate you hepin' us all. ]

LoL....

[Catholic Canadian]

Three....two....one.......wretch.

[albie]

“Young lady”?! She’s a little twit. At her age, she should be able to figure out right from wrong. And her evil Mother is EVERYTHING that is wrong about EVERYTHING! All 3 Clintons have serpents for brains.

[vietvet67]

[jeddavis]

The real question: Have H. and SlicKKK KKKlintler taught the ginch how to kill yet??

[shaft29]

“BTW..what fund is it?”

Bear Stearns

[CedarDave]

Regarding #11 and #43. Thank you vietvet67; I was going to try to get a picture of Howdy to put up next to #11 and you saved me the trouble!!

(BTW, I’m from the same age group as you; most younger folk don’t relate to Howdy and his puppet friends.)

[cajungirl]

That quote “I am here to help you think” hit me right in the face.

Who is she to help us think? It was incredibly arrogant but my guess is she thinks if she helps us “think” we will all fall in line.

What arrogance for one so young!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

I want to like Chelsea.

Sorry. Too late.

Her goal now is to perpetuate the criminal empire.

She knows where her bread is buttered...and why.

[Dick Vomer]

er....ok

[avid]

Chelsea is not too shaby. I find her quite attractive.
