Chelsea Clinton joins Expedia's board of directors

Chelsea Clinton has joined Expedia's board of directors. A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission this week shows the travel firm expanded the number of members on its board up from 13 to 14 members and voted for the former first daughter to take the new position.

Add me to the boycott list as well.

Guess Travelocity and Orbitz’s customer base just expanded.

"We are in the midst of watching them “make Chelsea Clinton”."

That's a good way of putting it. They're giving her unmerited positions to build her resume for the day when they will point to that artificially-padded resume as proof of her qualifications for the presidency.

[proud American in Canada]

Wow! I was wondering if they were affiliated.

Please ignore my previous post!

Thanks for the list, mountnman.

What are the odds this means the Clintons have purchased or otherwise acquired Expedia, to use for their own nefarious purposes?

Well, she DOES have extensive experience traveling...aboard AF-1. She can bring those deep insights to Expedia. Maybe she can broker a deal for the next Dem POTUS to sell rides on AF-1. After all, her Mom and Dad did have early experience with an AirBnB business model when they rented out that spare bedroom that was used by President Lincoln.

thanks for the list

My thoughts exactly. No experience and there must be a connection.

OH for gawd’s sakes . . . Keep on enriching the corrupt

Good bye Expedia . . . You are stupid beyond belief. Way to alienate your customers

[proud American in Canada]

Anyway, Priceline has William Shatner going for them! Yet another reason to use it! ;)

A just reward, for all her years of selfless service, slowly working her way up the corporate ladder.

Wait.....you mean they just gave it to her? I’m shocked!

Utterly ridiculous. What in the world could Shrek contribute to a board of directors? She’s never held a job for more than a year, sucks off the Clinton Crime Family Foundation teat, her husband failed.

[meyer]

This serves one purpose - building her resume for future “advances”. She’s a political puppet, gaining a notch in her “experience” that she can use in the future to show how worldly she is when she runs for future political office.

The best thing that can happen to the US is for Expedia to fail miserably as a result.

LOL! Great point.

Things like this must be remembered.

It would be awesome if FReepers could compile some sort of group book and publish it online.

I bet it’s possible. I’d be willing to help.

[varina davis]

yep

[grayboots]

I used them for my upcoming cruise. I was going to send them a feedback message saying I would never use them again, but am afraid they might sabotage my trip. I would never put anything past the idiots who would put a Clinton on their board.

[Aria]

Forget the fact that she has no apparent skills to offer (other than dealing with corrupt a-hole liars) I wonder why anyone would want to be in the same room with her.

You can pick from thousands of talented people and you pick Chelsea Clinton?????

BOD is the bribe job.
