Chelsea Clinton Is Not the Great Democratic Hope
National Review ^ | March 10, 2017 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 03/10/2017 7:55:38 AM PST by detective

The media should stop making the former first daughter out to be more than she is.

Chelsea Clinton is not fascinating. But the repeated insistence that Chelsea Clinton is fascinating . . . is actually rather fascinating. It’s like a giant social experiment, in which everyone who has spent decades building connections to the Clinton political dynasty attempts to make the world see the president’s daughter as someone she isn’t.

Witness the recent insistence that we’re seeing a new side of Chelsea Clinton . . . because she’s tweeting a lot of critical things about President Trump. This is not particularly unusual behavior for a Democrat with a Twitter account. Yet Politico declares that she “lets loose on Twitter” with “a spicy, sarcastic online personality.” CNN concurs that “Chelsea Clinton embraces her Twitter sass.”

I think she is a woman of rather ordinary ability , probably doesn’t want to be in the national spotlight, and may even have somewhat of a conscience.

Chelsea owes her life to Clinton political advisers. She escaped going down the Dispos-All like her siblings.

But I am fascinating! My Mom and Dad call me fascinating all the time.

From what I can tell, Chelsea’s husband bet big on the Greek government getting its financial affairs in order (he bought Greek stocks and bonds). The Greek government is still a mess, so Chelsea’s hubby lost millions.

That makes him reckless, and stupid. But not necessarily a criminal.

Jon Corzine, on the other hand, is a criminal. His fund deliberately mishandled investor money. I believe it involved illegal account transfers. But don’t worry about Jon. His case was closed when he agreed to pay a 5 million dollar fine. That’s peanuts for him.

“Webb Hubble was not a disgrace while in office.”

Hubbell’s association with the Clintons was one big disgrace of dishonesty and criminal activity.

“In December 1994 Hubbell pled guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of tax fraud. Hubbell was sentenced to 21 months’ imprisonment.”

“On November 14, 1998 Hubbell was indicted for a third time, this time for alleged fraud and allegedly giving false testimony to the House Banking Committee and federal banking regulators.”

I wonder if there has been any DNA test of Hubbell and Chelsea Clinton. It is certain that Bill is not Chelsie’s biological father.

****Chelsea has had a priviledged life*****

If you love money and power - YES.

I would not trade my life with hers for any amount of money - would you?

Character and integrity require sacrifice, humility, humanity and God. I suspect she has had none of these influences....however, just dealing with her parents’ scandals may have taught her how to lie and ‘put on a happy face’.

Hope her poor kids have some decent baby sitters around.

Webb Hubbell.

She was asked about him.

She smiles into the camera, and says, “I’ve always been proud to be my parents’ daughter.”

It’s on YouTube.

It’s amazing to me that she was proud enough to photograph them and put it up on twitter and no doubt Instagram. Food that is healthy must be appetizing and have some sort of eye appeal. It’s obvious she doesn’t even know how to plate a pancake. Pathetic jackass.

I could have given the dope my creamed spinach recipe, adopted from Laurie Colwin which people, including kids, scarf down.

Corzine may have mishandled INVESTORS’ money, but his big crime was stealing a couple of billions from DEPOSITORS.

Why Webb Hubbell took this one for the team remains a complete mystery.

Jon Corzine IS a criminal. Two months ago he had the “star” seat in a hip Upper Eastside restaurant that I was in. He looked sleek and happy. I wanted to dump my cocktail on his ugly head.

This dimwit has “third generation Kennedy” written all over her.

We used to scrape the barnacles off deep-water pilings to chum the fish. She might make good at/for that.

Note that comment that her two year old Charlotte would scarf them all down in one sitting...makes one wonder what the poor childs daily ration is...if true...we are talking about the Clintons.

What’s fascinating is how the Klinton duo got that son of a crook to marry that girl.

The lights are out in the bedroom and the bag goes back on her head at daybreak.
