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.

ROTFL! ;-D
I've heard the rumors that Hildebeast was shagging Foster and that Chelsea might have been a "lovechild" of Webster Hubbell. I'm thinking she was knocked up by locals during a Deliverance rafting trip.
Ms Hubbell is looking more and more like her father, isn’t she?
Speaking of her parentage, how is ole Web doing these days?? LOL
In 2006 he donated $4600 to Hillary and his employees donated to her, also, out of the goodness of their hearts.

clintoon never spoke to the press like Bush does. He never held news conferences where he answered reporters questions for up to half hour.
Hillary is not answering questions either. I read where she gives her canned speech then immediately the loud speaker blast out her theme song. No questions allowed.
Butt Ugly. Heredity can be a really nasty thing...
Chelsea does sign autographs, though. My cousin got one at one of Bill Clinton’s campaign stops in Oelwein, Iowa. She also stole my cousin’s pen...
“I know nothing of hedge funds. That said, how much revenue would she have to generate to justify this salary and how would a history degree give the ability to create a client base this large?”
Hedge funds tend to be very profitable because they charge very high fees to their clients (more so than mutual funds). Chelsea is a research analyst (i.e. picks stocks to invest in for the hedge fund) so she doesn’t actually source any clients... she just helps to manage their assets.
I based my math upon comparables that I know, and then figured that she is at the upper end of that range because she is working for Clinton supporters.
"Ms. C." in 2024
Hillary's mouth is often open even when she's not talking.
As my dad used to ask; "Are you catching flies?"
This is just utter nonsense.
I had to read the article twice. I couldn’t believe it. Chelsea Clinton turns down a 9 year old scholastic ‘reporter’ because “unfortunately” they’re part of the press that she won’t speak to??? When is the MSM going to pick up on that little story?? The Clintons are just plain evil.
Animatronics are amazing these days.
I know I'll take some heat for this, but she's hot! She seems nice, and I like her spunk against the MSM.
Also, she's got good teeth.
