Welcome to the Big Time, Kid
Sydney and Chelsea Clinton.
DES MOINES Sydney Rieckhoff, at nine years old a true cub reporter, has learned a big lesson about the media world she had thought she wanted to join.
Sydney, who is a kid reporter for Scholastic News, and her mother, Robyn, of Cedar Rapids, went to see Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, 27, in Vinton yesterday.
She has interviewed numerous candidates, and she approached Chelsea with a question: whether former President Bill Clinton would make a good first man in the White House.
But Chelsea told her she does not talk to the press, and, according to The Associated Press, added: and that applies to you, unfortunately, even though I think youre cute.
That's our little Princess for ya!
