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.

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.
Fascinating..!
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.
So she’s on the campaign as a Prop.
Pray for W and Our Troops
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.
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.
"....so, not only do you not talk so much, but how would you like that smirk slapped right off your mug, little missy??!!"
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.

oh lord..ha.. ha..
This was written by the AP author, Beth Fouhy. Yep, that's right. Fouhy.
no, I posted the link that it came from, it is an AP news photo
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...
I’m old enuf to keep my ass home ,but 08 is my year.......................wooohooooooo
Chelsea certainly does not have Bill Clinton's chin.
To who so far, nature has been unkind...
Yep, now she’s tall and attractive.
