Chelsea Clinton Is Primed for Another Parent’s White House Run
New York Times ^ | July 30, 2007 | JODI KANTOR

Posted on 07/30/2007 5:00:17 PM PDT by V.Foster

Asked which parent Chelsea Clinton most resembles, friends tick through the mother-daughter similarities. There is the habit of pre-empting questions by asking lots of them. The passionate interest in health care. The tendency to sound a bit scripted when talking about policy, even in private. The way both borrowed on family contacts to establish post-White House careers, but won over skeptical colleagues with their diligence and enthusiasm.

And if her mother, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, manages to become the first female president of the United States, Chelsea Clinton could be in a historic, head-spinning position of her own: the first first child twice over.

She certainly brings experience to the job. At 12 years old, she appeared in Bill Clinton’s “Man From Hope” video, testifying to his fatherly virtues. (Mr. Clinton also told viewers of his daughter’s forgiving reaction to his admissions about marital transgressions.) Read it all here

What do you get when you cross a crooked lawyer with a corrupt politician?

Thanks for that GIF image Vince. I’ve been looking for that for a long time.

Must have some ESP from beyond the grave.

There is the habit of pre-empting questions by asking lots of them.

Also known as changing the subject...

The passionate interest in health care.

Socialism.

The tendency to sound a bit scripted when talking about policy, even in private.

Well versed in talking points, short on real intellect.

The way both borrowed on family contacts to establish post-White House careers, but won over skeptical colleagues with their diligence and enthusiasm.

She has yet to meet a 'journalist' unwilling to flatter her or ingratiate himself with her mother.

Remember when People Magazine named Chelsea one of the Most Beautiful People??? Bwhahahaha!! One of the most brazen, ridiculous, incredibly insulting to anyone with even one eye, ass-kissing moments in the history of “journalistic” credibility. Not only is she NOT beautiful, she is from the Amy Carter Spook a Stickhorse line of First Daughters. MYGAWD. Can we get some truth going somewhere, anywhere, in the MSM???

Q: What do you get when you cross a Clinton with a rat?

A: Nobody knows. There are some things even a rat won't do.

Chelsea is just one more little metrosexual git unable to survive outside the beehive.
Urbanity is killing our nation!

I just had a fright thought:

Chelsea is being groomed for her Presidential run in 2016, after her mother’s second term ends.

Asked which parent Chelsea Clinton most resembles, friends tick through the mother-daughter similarities...

...and avoid father-daughter ones?

Old Sarge: Funny you should mention that! Watch this video, that I posted today... Chelsea groomed for Presidency?

“groomed” is a good description. She needs more carrots and less riding hard and putting up wet.

Well MSM is hardly subtle.

So how old will Chelsea be when Hillary finishes with the White House? Clearlty the MSM is setting her up for 2016.

Heck if only Chelsea would get busy and have a kid before her two terms, they could just have it for more than a couple of decades in a row.

Hard to know if Chelsea really takes after her mom. Can she make a sailor blush with outrageous swearing hurling personal insults left and right at any and all?

Has she ever tipped in a diner?

How’s her aim with lamps?

She may have more “grooming” yet ahead.

I’ve had all I can take of the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton possibility.

What a nightmare.

Out of 300,000,000+ people in this country you mean to tell me that only Bushs and Clintons are chosen.

ARGGGGGG.....
