Chelsea Talks to Tina: Former First Daughter To Write on Trade Center Attack

The New York Observer ^ | September 26, 2001 | Gabriel Snyder

LOL!! Bill and Hill disgracefully using Chelsea one more time to try to get some attention for themselves. The me-first family rides again!

[Lower55]

Is that Chelsea Hubble we're talking about????

[mombonn]

Let me be the first to point out the lack of MAJOR BARF ALERT!

Daddy's in Australia on 9/ll, Chelsea is a few blocks away.

Can you say made-for-TV movie? Gag me with a giant spoon!

What I find offensive about this is why are the thoughts or experiences of Chelsea Clinton in any way noteworthy? Millions of actual New Yorkers (or even people like myself who lived there for a span of time) have stories and thoughts and have lost friends or loved ones, yet they aren't writing 1200 words for Talk. I love how the Clintons get everything their way - no one can criticize Chelsea, or talk about anything to do with her, but when she wants to abuse her quasi-celebrity on her terms, then it is ok. I am really disgusted by this. I want stories from people who ran fifty flights of stairs to get out of the building or people who spoke to their loved ones on the phone seconds before the Towers collapsed, not Chelsea's drivel about how she was going to maybe, had kind of thought about taking a walk or a run near the Towers that day and could maybe possibly have even, oh my! been in danger herself! Why am I continually able to be further disgusted by these people?

It depends on how you define 2 blocks.

Dust from the World Trade Center probably spread over 11 blocks. That made the coffee shop only 2 blocks awayl

[Tai_Chung]

I'm sure she was also talking to people on the airplane with her cell phone for that coffee shop.

I'm sure she also rescued 5 firefighters.

[Burlem]

They raised her to replicate THEM!

[Izzy Dunne]

she was so troubled by the World Trade Center tragedy - and by the fact that friends of hers lost loved ones - she decided to go public with her thoughts

You mean she had more than ONE?
Must be some cash involved somewhere.

Update - The Hijackers in Hell:

Rather than being serviced by 70 virgins as promised, the hijackers have found themselves being serviced by 70 Chelsea Clintons. Say the hijackers, Clinton is neither a virgin, nor worth being serviced by.

[Tai_Chung]

Without a doubt, she's thinking about a future political career in NYC.

[Fintan]

Six thousand people slaughtered..and it's all about THEM....

[Izzy Dunne]

What I find offensive about this is why are the thoughts or experiences of Chelsea Clinton in any way noteworthy?

I had that same thought, but then I decided that being in Talk magazine doen't mean it's noteworthy...

[Tai_Chung]

Clinton is neither a virgin...

Yuck......I'm about to lose my dinner.

[tet68]

"Bill was in Australia and he was so upset by what he was seeing on television thatI didn’t want to tell him that I couldn’t find her until I found her," Senator Clinton said. "I told him, everything’s fine, don’t worry."

Doea any one REALLY believe this?

[Izzy Dunne]

Let me be the first to point out the lack of MAJOR BARF ALERT!

You got "Chelsea", "Tina", and "write" in the title, and you STILL need a barf alert?

[barker]

...., a Stanford graduate who is set to enter Oxford University in England later this fall to study international relations.

So just when does the fall term start at Oxford? She was enrolled at Stanford and hardly attended. Seems like she graduated awfully fast. Course it was arranged for her to get credits for writing about her experiences while traveling the world, on our dime, with Mummy and Daddy.

I want them all to shut up and go away. BTW, has anyone actually heard Chelsea speak even one word?

[Tai_Chung]

She might talk about how Bin Laden has tried to kill her numerous times over the years but she didn't want to say anything because she didn't want the attention.

[stylin_geek]

Actually, this whole thing is marginalizing the Clintons. Chelsea writing about her experiences will be nothing more than load of feelings based drivel. The idea of her writing an article is ludicrous, and will be treated as such by most of the writing establishment. As a side note, can you imagine if Chelsea had been hurt or killed at WTC? I shudder to think how the self-serving duo would have used the death of their daughter to further their themselves.

[July 4th]

has anyone actually heard Chelsea speak even one word?

Didn't she say that she 'felt like a porn star' once? I can't remember the occasion.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Can you say made-for-TV movie? Gag me with a giant spoon!

Yep. Lifetime made for t.v. movie: Moment of Truth: The Clintons and the WTC: It could have been worse, it could have been us.
