Chelsea comforts British bereaved
Chelsea Clinton comforted British victims of the September attacks in America at a fundraising concert in London last night. The 21-year-old daughter of former President Clinton said she was haunted by the September 11 attacks but determined to enjoy university life at Oxford. She said: “Of course I’m haunted. My city and my country were under attack. I knew people who were in those buildings.” She was in Lower Manhattan on the day of the attacks.
Since arriving in England to take a post-graduate course at Oxford Miss Clinton has complained about anti-American feeling she encountered after the attacks and said she felt the need to stick with her fellow countrymen at the university. But she said she had been overwhelmed by the support she had received since writing a magazine article expressing her concerns. She said: “I have received so much support. I do have non-American friends at the university now and I am very happy with my course. The workload is fine and Dad is very happy too.”
The concert featured the Oscar-winning stars Kevin Spacey and Dame Judi Dench, along with Lord Lloyd-Webber, Lord Attenborough, Art Garfunkel and Joan Collins. Tickets cost up to £525 and the show raised £450,000. The money will be shared between families of the victims and Afghans suffering from war and drought.

Give me a break! She's just as plastic as her parents- should make a great politician!
All of a sudden New York is her city. How long has she lived there?
Mom......please don't hit me with the ugly stick anymore!.
Name two and we'll believe you. This almost sounds like Clinton-speak. She doesn't actually say she knows anyone who perished.
Funny how she didn't mention in her Talk article about knowing any of the people in those buildings. And New York City is her city? Since when did Chappaqua become part of the boroughs?
Oh, and someone owes me a new keyboard for posting the heart- and clock-stopper of a photo.....
