WashPost Hails Chelsea As 'Polished, Practiced...Princess(humorous barf alert!)
newsbusters.org ^ | 8/5/2015 | Tim Graham

Washington Post reporter Jessica Contrera has only been out of college a year. So is that the level of experience you choose for someone to try and pry some information out of the Clinton Machine about daughter Chelsea? Instead, we get the usual worshipful sentences, like this one: “Polished, practiced and private, Chelsea Clinton is the closest thing America has to a princess.”

The headline on the front of Wednesday’s Style section is “A very private public figure: Chelsea Clinton always avoided the spotlight. But now she welcomes it – on her own terms.” In other words, “Chelsea Clinton dictates her press coverage on her own terms. We in the media bow and scrape to America’s princess.”

Does this kind of coverage really enlighten anyone, or does it simply serve to promote this tired old Clinton Royal Family advertising? This paragraph at the end is another unctuous gem about the media accepting scripted scraps from the royals:

“Chelsea sought and obtained jobs based on her merit. But she left them for the spot she inherited in the royal family business: a place where quotes are scripted and chiefs of staff are close at hand.”

From camelot to flamealot. And neither one is/was worth a crap. Yet there are still folks who buy the camelot myth. A disgusting pen full of pigs. But, I still like me some extra crispy bacon. Yumeeeee!

I’m always amazed how the MSM hires then publishes these fresh-outta-school “journ-o-lists” Spoiled little brats who haven’t a clue about the real world, and won’t for quite a while.

Looking at Contrera’s bio, it’s pretty nondescript. So if the Mighty Post is going to hire a kid still wet behind the ears, then you’d think it would be someone with a far more impressive resume.

Then one notices the surname “Contrera” and there’s your answer. Another Afffirmative Action’d Amiga.

I’m old enough to remember when it was announced that she was going to Stamford to study medicine and become a...doctor. She didn’t even make dermatologist.

She has Webb Hubbell’s fat lower lip and certainly has NOT Jezebel’s fat shackle legs. My wife’s younger sister has legs like Killary and so have her three daughters!!!
