I hope all the Freepers who have come to Chelsea’s defense in the past will now see her as the “chip off the old block” that she is.

No one in the MSM has, as yet, hit on the most salient point.

How is it that Hillary’s credibility (that was the thrust of the original question) is “...None of your business.”

If the question had been to how the family handled this among themselves, then, of course, that’s none of our business, but as to how it affects the credibility of someone who is volunteering to manage the US economy (with one hand on the nuclear trigger) then it’s EVERYBODY’S business.

Fortunately, the question of Hillary’s credibility has been answered by Her Thighness Herself, with the help of a reporter with a good memory and some videotape.

She got the worst characteristics of both her mother and the putative father - sociopathic prevarication AND a serious beating with the ugly stick.

What is there to defend. As long as “little” Chelsea stayed in the background, and shut the heck up, there was nothing to say. Once she decided that it was a good idea to come out front, and defend her parents, then she is big enough to take the heat. So, give her what for!

In a few short sentences, our nation was spared the awful possibility that Chelsea might some day run for office.

I’d really like to see someone do a search and find out if the little darling really has spoken on 70 college campi.

(Just seems to me that that’s quite a few ..... wouldn’t it be something if it turned out that she “misspoke”???)

Fascinating. She sure had an ashtray-throwing edge to her voice and expression on her face, didn’t she?

And there’s CBS getting around to the issue of the entire press entourage kowtowing to the Clintons, but not saying, “Hey, we for one shouldn’t be doing this, we’ll change our policy.”

O PLEASE SOMEBODY DO THIS !!!!

You are right, 70 Campi-? I would think that we would have seen more media coverage of these visits, being the Media darling and novelty that she is.

Thats A very GOOD point

Yeah... I’d bet the family farm (if I had one) that there have been nothing like 70... We surely would have heard about more “heretics” asking Chelsea real questions.

She may be including the silent campaign visits when she’s accompanied Mom and Pop. We went to see Hillary with Chelsea in tow on a university campus. Chelsea did not make a speech, but she did hand out water to the faint who had waited more than four hours for Mom to show. She might have said something to those people. heh. I’m sure she’s made lots of other campus visits with her parents this year.

“None of your business” - quintessential Clinton - get a tough question and simply don’t respond - none of your business, I don’t think I’ll answer that question, that question isn’t appropriate - one wonders what President Hillary would say to a question she didn’t want from the likes of Putin or Ahmindinajan (or whatever his name is).........

I do believe she said in her response that SHE had spoken on 70 “campuses” ..... and she certainly implied it by saying that in those 70 visits this was the first time anyone had asked her that question .....

Let’s just say that I suspect she’s inherited more than just her mother’s “runway figure.”

Chelsea is such a pampered privileged prig. She sounds so arrogant and spoiled.

How dare she must present herself in the midst of the dirty unwashed sweating masses and give reasons to vote for her mother and the nerve of these reeking inferiors to question her?

Her mommy should have been coronated. She's entitled. All this primary flap is just a process to be exploited, gamed and swindled in such a way to look like a primary race but the Clintons will buy the nomination.

So mommy dearest, why do I have to soil myself giving speeches to serfs and peons?

She could have said in the fine lying and prevaricating tradition of the Clinton clan...."I have no memory of", "I don't recall", "I have no recollection of", " I may have remembered but that was before I came to Washington and lost my memory".

The last one in particular is from Bill Clinton's Federal Grand Jury Testimony.

The easy answer for Chelsea is to say that “my Mom has always been credible to me. That is why I am here today.”

If the questioner pursues the point, Chelsea adds that it is a matter between her Mom and her Dad and that she loves both of them.

Instead, she choked.

Video text from the CBS clip quoting Chelsea Clinton as she refuses to be interviewed by the nine year old scholastic reporter:

"I'm sorry, I don't talk to the press and that applies to you, unfortunately. Even though I think your (sic) cute."

That is just doubly pathetic. Firstly, on the part of Chelsea for gutless ducking of the youngster's interview, and secondly CBS journalism for confusing the language.

...."I have no memory of", "I don't recall", "I have no recollection of"...these are pretty much evasions, but I've been struck by the outright refusal of Hillary especially lately to simply say in essence "I won't answer that" - an outright in-your-face rejection of the question or its legitimacy - and then of course there's the mock outrage strategy, as when Bill attacked Chris Wallace with the finger in his face and the charge that Wallace was trying to set him up - they're all well-educated and practiced in avoiding the embarrassing question and answer......

LOL. Add idiot elitist to the list of characteristics. That psycho Bill Clinton who happened to be POTUS, was getting a bj (among other things) in the oval office. I'm sorry, but that is EVERYONE'S business.

The Clinton's are scum. It really is that simple.

With the Indiana (May 6) primary now a factor, Chels is tromping all over our state. She’s been at every college campus this week, acting like a rock star (barf).
It’s an indicator of “young skulls filled with mush” that anybody would waste their time to show up and listen.

Do these kids understand that Chelsea is employed by an eviiiiil Wall Street Hedge Fund?/s IIRC, I believe it's run by a friend of the Clinton's.

If Chelsea can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. She's on the campaign trail for her mother and she needs to understand that her father's outrageous behavior, and her mother's part in that debacle, will be a topic of conversation and be an obvious concern. Bill committed perjury.

She is receiving over $200K a year working for the hedge fund. Not bad for a 27 year old.

Sooo, they’re paying the young Miss Clinton $200K to hobnob on college campuses? Where can we all get jobs like that?

Seriously, isn’t this $200K a form of campaign contribution?? Paging the FEC...

If that is your opinion. Well, okay.

I will have to admit that is the best picture of Chelsea I have seen. Hope the news media keeps it on file to use with every news account of her because in every other picture of her she looks extremely homely.

Chelsea makes Amy Carter look good.

Here are some pictures that I found of Amy as she is today. It's hard to believe that she's now the mom of a son. I sure am feeling old
