I can njot remeber any abuse heaped on Chelsea, until she entered the arena of politics (remember her account of 9-11?). Once she turned 21 and was no longer a child, some just commented on how ugly, drunk,coddled and stupid she was. Not abuse when you become a player.
Well I remember a lot of mean jokes about how homely she was during the time her father was in office. I think people are getting a little silly with their indignation here.I think it is cruel to subject your children to the brutality of politics. Things like this happen. Partisan Politics can get extremely mean with plenty of low blows thrown by both sides.
Well, there was that John McCain joke from 1998.
