Chelsea Clinton guards her words
By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writer 15 minutes ago
It's one thing for Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign to turn down interview requests for the candidate's daughter, Chelsea. But can't a 9-year old reporter catch a break?
Sydney Rieckoff, a Cedar Rapids fourth grader and "kid reporter" for Scholastic News, has posed questions to seven Republican and Democratic presidential hopefuls as they've campaigned across Iowa this year. But when she approached the 27-year-old Chelsea after a campaign event Sunday, she got a different response.
"Do you think your dad would be a good 'first man' in the White House?" Rieckoff asked, but Chelsea brushed her question aside.
"I'm sorry, I don't talk to the press and that applies to you, unfortunately. Even though I think you're cute," Chelsea told the pint-sized journalist.
Such is the paradox of Chelsea as she campaigns across Iowa in the closing days before the state's caucuses Jan. 3.
Tall and attractive, Chelsea cuts an impressive figure on the campaign trail; she plunges enthusiastically into the crowd after her mother's speeches, shaking hands and posing for pictures while asking, "Are you going to caucus for my mom?"
But onstage, Chelsea never speaks; she stands next to her mother and applauds but utters not a single sentence and doesn't even say hello. And reporters covering the campaign have been put on notice that Chelsea is not available to speak to them. An aide follows the former first daughter as she works the crowd, shushing reporters who approach her and try to ask any questions.

You lost me at “Tall and attractive”...
Notice the difference between Bush and Clinton. Bush let’s his daughter speak.
Chelsea Clinton isn’t going to like talking to an attorney in a deposition, but that is going to happen before the election. Her mom has set her up for perjury in Paul v Clinton.
Imagine the furor if one of the Bush girls had said that.
Do we really want to know what Chelsea is thinking?
Hillary’s Conversation with America... what a Laugh.
How does she get so much time off from her Hedge Trading job?
At least there’s no question of her parentage.
I want to see Chelsea go on the Ellen Degenerate Show and call Hillary on the phone (just like Jenna called her father from the show).
Would NEVER happen in a million years and Hillary isn’t even president.
Fixed it.
Proving once again that she’s smart like her father and not like the guy that is married to her mother.
That arrogant little .....!
guilty..........life sentence
THIS is not a good blend.
Sounds like a challenge for Harvey Levin.
She looks so much like her father, it is scary.
Again, tall and attractive? Whoa. Take off the mudpack.
