I have to give credit where credit is due, to Bill and Hilary Clinton. While they are both deeply flawed individuals, collectively they seem to have done a remarkable job raising their daughter. Apart from speaking at a few college events during her mother's campaign for the Dem nomination and the media-buzz surrounding her marriage, she has been virtually invisible.

In fact, I don't know if I have even heard her speak, which fits nicely with my own personal preference that children of politicians should be rarely seen, and even more rarely heard from until such time as they merit attention for their own personal accomplishment, wholly separate from that of their famous parent(s).

What a 19/20 girl who couldn't even make it out of high school without getting knocked-up, has done to merit any of this attention, is truly a great mystery.

The same can be said about the Bush twins. They have quietly gone about their lives without pimping their parent's name to make a living.

I agree with you 100% but you are about to feel the wrath of the “Palin Can Do No Wrong” crowd here on FR. They are hypocrites and they are mean. But we are right.

Get real, ODH. She's 20 years old (she's an adult, BTW), son has no father, and she's getting offers to appear on shows with the potential to earn millions - HELL YEAH she's going to take it! What, she should toil doing manual labor or workign a 9-5 in a crappy economy like this?

Chelsea ClintonHubbell has been "virtually invisible" because the lib media treated her with kid gloves unlike the smear job they did with Palin's kids. Bristol actually got her hands dirty and would have made it on her own if the haters would have left her Mom alone after the election. So comparing the upbringing between the two is disingenuous.

Apparently she has merited your attention.

Why an "Old" DeckHand feels the need to trash a 20 year old kid who made a mistake, I think would be a great mystery to most reasonable people.

Hate to agree with you, but she ought just stay behind closed doors until her mother decides what she is going to do come Nov. 2012.

The media had a “hands-off” code with regard to Ms. Clinton. She is hardly a saint and yes some photos of drunken Chelsea did find their way onto the internet. Don’t kid yourself regarding the supposed “virtue” of Chelsea. You would do well to remember she comes from a mother who is in full support of “choice” and if Chelsea were to have been “knocked-up” (as you so colorfully put it), she would have quietly (again the media would stay silent) had it “taken care of”. Do you really believe that Chelsea, daughter of free-lover Billy Bob and a lib Mom like Hillary abstained from having sex during her teen years? Really?

“What a 19/20 girl who couldn’t even make it out of high school without getting knocked-up, has done to merit any of this attention, is truly a great mystery.”

Well, I suppose if Chelsea has gotten “knocked up” Bill and Hillary would have argued for an abortion, you know - so that Chelsea wouldn’t have to go through life with big target on her back.

Quite frankly, I’m really proud Bristol kept her baby. It shows a level of understanding, maturity and love many liberals don’t possess.

Further, if Bristol’s options are to make a shit load of money and make life a little easier, or go back to Wasilla and work as a receptionist - I suspect she is thinking of her future earnings. Again, Chelsea doesn’t have to worry about money because her public servant parents are multi-millionaires. Gee, how does that work again? Public servants with millions? Oh - but let’s beat up someone who has an option to make money - even if it is entertainment?

Agree. What moron would pay to hear this girl speak? Does she impart great bromides learned from getting knocked up by her dunce ex-boyfriend?

I like Sarag but this is getting ridiculous

Chelsea is pro-abortion, so no one really knows that she was never knocked up. She is on record as willing to get rid of her child as she’s pro abortion. Wouldn’t give it another thought. Obviously because she’s pro-abortion, you can be sure if she ever did become pregnant when she was younger, she is on record with saying she wouldn’t keep the baby as in she would have an abortion.

wow did your remarks about Bristol Palin sound ‘ugly’. I'm wondering if you have any kids in high school...sure hope they don't get knocked up before they get out...or maybe your an old man and your kids are raised??? did they get knocked up before hand?

In other words your nasty remarks were not necessary, don't you think?. what purpose did it serve? other than to make you look bad in others eyes...

Bristol's son is sure a cutie, and she seems to be doing a good job of raising him, and sounds like she will have the funds to continue doing so, seem he is also loved dearly by the entire Palin family after having watched ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska.

YEAH! Bristol has no right to any kind of good fortune. She needs to learn her station in life and stay there, the stupid country bumpkin. Puritans demand it!

Seriously, what does Bristol have to do with her life that will please you and others? Does Bristol and her son have to suffer in silence in order to satisfy folks? I hate to say it but there seems to be a type of class bigotry floating around this site. I don't like it.
