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.

That is Howdy-Doody’s daughter. There is no mistake there.
I always thought she was a little on the homely side. Not quite as cute as Mr. doody.

"I like her position on family values and health care.

What is her position on those issues? I have yet to hear. This woman is an idiot. Hillary has no 'family values' and her 'health care' is for TAXPAYERS to fund it for everyone . And voting for her because she is a FEMALE is even dumber!

Her message hit home for Robyn Rieckhoff, a 36-year-old stay-at-home mom who lives in Cedar Rapids. This was her seventh campaign rally – she’d already seen Republicans Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani, and Democrats John Edwards and Barack Obama, as well as Bill Clinton stumping for his wife.

“I came in very open,” Rieckhoff said. “But I’m decided. I’m going with Hillary. I like her family values. I feel like she’s going to get the job done. Some of the others just felt like they were talking.”

Doug, I for one appreciate every effort you make to expose these eels. I call the clintons eels because they slither through every felony conviction. Keep it up my friend, and never leave your back exposed. God Bless

Ever since her fiasco of an article in Talk magazine about her experiences on 9/11, Chelsea has kept her mouth shut. She writes at about a 9th grade level, so I imagine she doesn’t talk that much better.

You can put lipstick on a pig. But it is still a pig!

No. Too much work.

Here she is at bedtime, waiting for her goodnight kiss.

I think this is a wonderful teaching opportunity.

Young Freeper men, New Years Eve is approaching. There's a reason it's called "amateur night". Inexperienced young men often use this occasion to drink more alcohol than is humanly possible. My advice to you is

DON'T DO IT!!!!

You might wake up Tuesday morning next to something that looks like this:

Heed my advice.
