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.

At least there’s no question of her parentage.

Yeah, that nut didn't fall from the tree.

Choke me to death, but wouldn’t a female president’s husband be called the First Gentleman over the First Man??? First Man sounds kind of stupid to me. First Lady speaks to the wife being a “real lady” over just a woman lady, to me anyway.

There is no doubt in my mind she is Webb Hubbell’s daughter. That’s why he’s dead.

Actually Webb is alive and well; I think he is alive and well because he has proof and lots of dna studies that will be made public if anything untoward happens to him.

We don’t have to worry about the nomenclature for Bill. He AIN’T going to get back to the White House.

“Tall and attractive”...
It’s OK if you like the Web Hubell look.

I hope not. But, I was just throwing that out there. I think calling the husband of a female prez, First Gentleman has a better ring than First Man. That term would really PO the femanazias’.

I recall seeing a picture of Chelsea and her mother years ago. They were walking together and had their backs to the camera. The comparison of Chelsea’s youthful figure to her mother’s, really made Hilary look old and dumpy.

I also recall thinking that it was a shame that such a slender body had Chelsea’s head attached to it.

Okay, enough of my catty comments.
