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.

If you like Mr Ed.
Do you know aprox when this is going to take place?
Just like a Clinton to use their daughter to campaign but will not let her speak. How stupid but the OLD MEDIA allows it. If you put her out their to ask someone to vote for her ‘mother’ then she should have to answer questions.
Web Hubbell’s daughter.

Was there a Howdy Doody look alike contest?
Where can I buy the Web Hubell Jack-o-lantern? That’ll scare the little brats!!
A horse, of course.
No doubt she'll soon be running for office, giving us a Huckabee/Edwards style lecture on the evils of capitalistic greed.
Hank
She sure has her Mothers eyes.
"I like her position on family values and health care. And I think it's time we have a female president," Robyn Rieckoff said.
So...the mother likes hitlery's "position" on family values. So...now family values includes adultery and "bj"s? What wonderful lessons to share with her 9 year old. And, btw, she condoned her 9 year old being treated like a peon by the former 1st daughter....ugh!
What is Webb up to these days?
No she isn't and no she doesn't.
My sister has always insisted that chelsea is...er...retarded.
once upon a time in a distant universe
I think I ran into one of them
As if there was any doubt. Nobody BUT Hillary supporters gets within 8 miles of her.
