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.

They say Beth, in her earlier life,
played a dwarf in a Fellini flick.

Her performance was a bit wooden,
but she always looked up to those taller.

The Calif. Supreme Court is expected to rule by late January whether Hillary is to re-join her husband as a defendant. After that, discovery and depositions can begin.

As I have stated in the past, class is something you either have or you don’t. You CAN’T buy class. Jenna and Barbara apparently have class. Chelsea, and by extension, Bill & Hill DOESN’T. And the NEVER will.

My questions to chelsea:
What would your mom have done on 9\11?
Why did Socks die?
Did you know Vince foster?
Did you ever meet Webb Hubbell?
Were the fbi files hidden in your room?
Were the rose law firm records hidden in your room?
Does Juanita Brodderick ring a bell?
Did dad ever tell you to “put some ice on it”?
I am just sick to my stomach that I have to worry about this piece of excrement (hillary) becoming the President Of The United states.

Do you think your dad would be a good 'first man'

She knows that the Sink Emperor is no kind of man at all.

No wonder she didn't want to answer.

This is what happens when the Queen is in charge of the Village. People get silenced...even her own.

Maybe she's taken Twain's words to heart...

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

This was written by the AP author, Beth Fouhy. Yep, that's right. Fouhy.

And you can bet that the ‘mob’ has taken notice. Wonder whether that means that AP Photographer Charlie Neibergall can look forward to an Arkancide in his future...
