PICTURES SHOW CHELSEA DRUNK AND DISORDERLY

Pics Show Chelsea Drunk and Disorderly

Photographs showing former first daughter Chelsea Clinton staggering bleary eyed into a popular London watering hole will appear in next week's edition of the supermarket tabloid Globe Magazine.

The Globe's cover story headline, "Boozing Chelsea: Clinton Daughter Out of Control," appears over a photo of an unidentified friend grabbing Chelsea by the face in an apparent effort to keep her from passing out.

Other Globe photos show Clinton, eyes bloodshot and looking disoriented, reeling as she emerges from a car with friends, one of whom is steadying her by the arm as the group weaves its way into the popular London nightspot Groucho.

"I thought Chelsea was about to topple over," a source who witnessed the scene tells the tabloid. "She was wobbling on her feet and a friend had to put her arm out to steady her."

The Globe reprints one passage from a British media report that claims: "Looks like Chelsea Clinton stumbled on a staggeringly good time when she hit London's West End this week. And it took a firm pair of hands to stop her from actually hitting the pavement as she swayed happily into the trendy Groucho Club, where dad Bill - the former U.S. president - was partying with U2 star Bono."

The drunken night out was not an isolated incident, according to others cited by the Globe, one of whom said the former first daughter is "spinning out of control."

"Chelsea's out on the town into the early hours every chance she gets," a Clinton schoolmate adds. "She loves a good time, but everything seems to revolve around drinking."

If the reports are accurate, Clinton's problems with alcohol would mirror a family pattern that saw her Uncle Roger finally admit to a life-long addiction to booze and drugs just last summer after entering an Arizona drug rehab center to dry out.

Last month another of Chelsea's uncles, Tony Rodham, admitted that he was boozing and smoking marijuana with a neighbor before he ended up entwined on the living room couch with the man's girlfriend.

In her younger days Clinton's grandmother Virginia was a fixture on the Little Rock party scene, with one account describing her as "a barfly."

According to one friend quoted by the Globe, Chelsea has turned to liquor "as a defense against jokes about her father and Monica Lewinsky and jibes about Hillary."

"One night when somebody cracked a Clinton joke, she walked into the bar and ordered a double vodka on the rocks," the source told the tabloid. "She downed it in two swallows and then walked out."

Last week the New York Post's Page Six reported that Clinton attended a New York party with sportstars Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter and Ahmad Rashad where "bottles of Veuve Clicquot and vodka" were consumed, but made no mention of Chelsea herself bellying up to the bar.

The Globe reported in April that the former first daughter was spotted boozing it up for spring break at several popular nightspots in Aspen, Colo.

There is a history of alcoholism in that family...

I feel sorry for her ..she was born to political animals that had power and position as their chief aim.She was a necessary political nic knack .She was an unattractive child that was raised by nannys and only dragged out for the necessary family photo ops..

Pathetic! I hope she finds some nice man to love her for herself and not for what she can do for him..

Now, what exactly makes it crap... the fact that you don't like it, or the fact that it is true? If it is not true, then tell us why it isn't. Or is this kind of truth, the reporting of something someone verifiably saw, and not rumor or exaggeration, something you'd rather not read?

This sort of petty inquisitorial nonsense is what scares a lot of people about conservatism. What do you want, to bring prohibition back? Let he who has never been drunk cast the first stone.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe secret service protection for the adult children of a president ends with his presidency. Clinton asked for and received a six month extension for Chelsea, as I recall.

I haven't heard whether this extension was lengthened.

I agree. By the time I was her age, I had outgrown this. I would expect a graduate student to behave differently. But, when I was in a student abroad program in England as a junior, drinking was quite the hobby. (Not for me.) I thought I moved into Animal House. It was wilder than anything I had seen at my home school -- and I went to USC which is known to be a party school. British college students are just wilder.

I kinda wish NewsMax would leave this stuff alone. The fact that an adult is drinking is hardly news, even if said adult is Chelsea Clinton. Conservatives complain that the press won't leave the Bush daughters alone, but don't hold themselves to the same standards.

I agree. I'm sure glad no one was following me around when I was Chelsea's age.

If this kid enters politics some day she is fair game for this stuff. Until then, the media needs to back off. It ain't none of their or our business.

I'm looking for two pictures.

1: Chelsea in Africa talking to some leader looking stewed.

2: Chelsea on plane leaving DC for the last time on the plane looking bad. (Talking to Bubba's black lawyer friend).

Anybody got them?

Look, I don't think this is funny. Bringing people's kids into anything really crosses the line of good taste. I didn't like it when it happened to President Bush's daughter and I don't like it now. This poor kid is going to be so screwed up, it isn't even funny. By the way, I wonder how many of you people revelling in this were pissed off when pictures were taken of Bush's daughter drunk. Don't be hypocritical!

Everyone has a right to their own opinion and I respect yours. The fact is the left wing did it to Bush`s daughter, now it`s our turn. I`m sure both daughters were hurt by this but maybe this will serve as a good lesson.

Does this look like someone who doesn't want attention? She's out of control.

I thoughts that what you meant, but was not sure. I agree with you 100% percent. If she were to do her own thing and stay out of politics, fine. I would also not bother her if she defended her scumbag parents (Hillary and Webb Hubble ro Vince Foster, of course) because its family and someone has to be the grownup. But her lenghty and childish article makes her fair game.
