George H.W. vs. Bill was Bush/Clinton I. Jeb vs. Hillary could be Bush/Clinton II. And if we’re very lucky, George P. will win his race for Texas land commissioner and Chelsea will ease into public service with a Senate seat in New York or something and we’ll be on track for Bush/Clinton III circa 2032.
Two points about this. One: It’s proof of how insatiable the media’s appetite for dynastic politics is (especially Democratic dynasties) that this is biggish news today even though she said the same thing six months ago. You get the feeling that Chelsea could go on making rote “maybe someday” statements every year for the next quarter-century and the media will cover every last one with the same “is she finally ready?” tone of breathless inevitability. That’s what it means to be a golden-child scion of the House of Clinton. If you doubt it, remember how insane the coverage was of Caroline Kennedy possibly being appointed to fill Hillary’s vacant Senate seat in 2008. (Hillary’s seat used to be RFK’s seat so Caroline’s appointment would have brought two dynastic storylines together.) Forty-five years after JFK’s death, despite the fact that she had never sought office before, the possibility that America might be gifted with Senator Caroline was the biggest story in politics. Instead, she’s likely to end up as our next ambassador to Japan even though East Asia is the hottest geopolitical spot on the planet right now and she has no diplomatic experience. There’s no job so difficult or delicate that the right pedigree can’t qualify you for it....

Oh Joy!
Chelsea is always good for a bit of comic relief.
That is if one finds puking one’s guts out inside a taxi cab is humorous.
She is her father’s daughter for certain!
Webster Hubbell?? Wow! Howdy Doody Goes to Washington!
Maybe her parents could move back into the White House like Barack’s Mother-In-Law did.
Well, if “moron” is a demographic, she certainly has it sewn up...
If it wasn’t for her nose, her chin, her forehead and her over generous mouth she’d be beautiful.
Her beauty is inherited from her glamorous mother.
Is that her head or did a bird crap on her shoulders?
Chelsea running for office is enough to gag a maggot.

I am soooo relieved. There was that .01% chance she wouldn’t inherit the royal scepter.
Dogcatcher?
Sewer inspecter?
Garbage "gatherer"?
Chicken coop "sniffer"?
God...weren't two Clintooons enough? More than enough.
President of Planned Parenthood?
President of Georgetown Sluts For Condoms Union?
We not only have to put up with their stupid parents, we have to suffer with their offspring. We’ll never be rid of these people. Feeding at the public trough is a lifestyle to them!
How can you call that sad sack of waddling slime whose looks would be improved by a burka beauty?
Her beauty is inherited from her glamorous mother.
Yeah, but she doesn't have that frog wart above her right lip, nor the saggy bags under her eyes. She'd still scare a buzzard off a $hit wagon.
Oh joy of joys. Satan’s spawn has political ambitions!
Cabbages and Kings!!!
I know I’m excited. /s
Is that her head or did a bird crap on her shoulders?
It was a Buzzard.
Rand's term for this was "aristocracy of pull". It fits.
