I met Chelsea and Bill once while he was pres. It was at a bar in Jackson Hole, and I was in a small upstairs part of the bar, and Clinton, a bunch of WhiteHouse staffers and Chelsea came and ate right right next to me.
The White House staffers were all 20-somethings, Chelsea was still a teenager, I think. It was in Summer ‘95 - right after Jerry Garcia had died.
Anyhow, everyone at the table were basically jerks except Chelsea.
It was a small crowded space, and the only one there who had the courtesy to say “excuse me” to my date as she pushed her way into the table was Chelsea. The rest of the White House staffers just seemed like rude jerks thinking they were big shots.
I had a conversation with her when she left.
She was very kind and courteous.
She was like the one sweet girl in a room of arrogant young people.
I think she’s probably a very nice person, and I also liked when she stood up for the US against a lot of US-bashing at school in England.
I am glad to hear this story
Well put. Chelsea can’t help her looks. And she can’t help who her parents are. I think she has gotten a lot of totally undeserved bashing here on FR.
Nice Chelsea story.
I do not like to mock or hear people mock the look of any woman, be they Hillary, Helen Thomas or even Cindy Sheehan. Men can handle the comments about their looks a lot more than women can so comments about men don't really bother me. (Sounds sexist, but it's true.)
The disparaging remarks about Chelsea are the worst in my opinion. Growing up in the spotlight is hard enough for anyone, but when your physical looks are trashed by thousands of people who don't even know you, that's devastating.
I hope she stays away from politics, as I am sure I would not agree with her on any issue, but I hope that people will not put the sins of her parents on her for the rest of her life either.
Was she courteous to her "personal pigs"(aka Secret Service agents) with her? Just wondering.
