Crosslink to the hilarious column from the brilliant Mark Steyn ....

As part of the campaign launch, Chelsea Clinton discussed the need for "equal opportunity" in the pages of, er, Elle:

"One of our core values in this country is that we are the land of equal opportunity," Clinton told the magazine, "but when equal hasn't yet included gender, there is a fundamental challenge there that, I believe, having our first woman president — whenever that is — will help resolve."

Don't worry, it's not all glass-ceiling boilerplate, there's a photo spread, too:

Chelsea Clinton in a Gucci dress, Mateo New York bracelet, Cartier bracelet, Garland Collection ring, Halleh ring

Halleh to you, too. Don't ring us, we'll ring you. On to the next caption. Chelsea in...

Derek Lam blouse, Stella McCartney trousers, Bulgari necklace, Tiffany & Co. bracelets, Trollbeads bangle, Garland Collection ring, Halleh ring, Brian Atwood pumps

Bill Clinton pumps, too, but not usually in his campaign launch. The complimentary (I assume - it's a long time since any Clinton wrote a personal check) Brian Atwood pumps and Stella McCartney trousers and Bulgari necklace and Cartier bracelet were ponied up in order to support a candidacy that will fight for "everyday Americans":

Remember all the crap Ann Romney took for wearing a designer top that cost less than anything Chelsea is wearing.

"One of our core values in this country is that we are the land of equal opportunity," Clinton told the magazine, "but when equal hasn't yet included gender, there is a fundamental challenge there that, I believe, having our first woman president — whenever that is — will help resolve."

Once Lard-Butt Cankles is elected she will give everyone a $10 million dollar apartment like Chelsea's or $10 million in cash.

Now that's equality!
