Coming in late to the "pimped out" conversation, I know, but I had a revelation while checking out Meghan McCain's blog. I wonder if the perception that Chelsea is being used by Hillary's campaign (like Dahlia, I need my job, so I'm not using the p-word) comes from what kind of work Chelsea is doing for the campaign, not the mere fact that she's out there at all. (And I want to say before I go on that I totally agree with Hanna's point that of course kids campaign for their parents.) Chelsea is making phone calls and giving speeches (kinda boring ones, if I read Melinda correctly). Meanwhile, John McCain's daughter is telling us that "Riding on the plane for 5 hours to San Diego felt like: Rufus Wainwright's ‘Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk (Reprise),' " and "Having such a rockin' Super Tuesday felt like: Michael Jackson's ‘Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough.' " She intersperses photos of rallies and campagin stops with goofy pictures from her travels and talks about her love of fashion and going to In-and-Out burger. The clear message is that she's an otherwise normal twentysomething who loves her dad and thinks he will be a great president—there's so much visible warmth and enthusiasm. She's reaching out to young voters without making it seem like work.
I'm not so far removed from my 20s that I've forgotten that there's a difference between being 23, like Meghan, and 28, like Chelsea. But just because Chelsea is a successful, mature young woman shouldn't mean that she should have to stand up in a business suit and pumps and tell us how fiscally conservative her mom is.

I agree. It's wrong for parents to force their children to tell lies for them.
We need pics! :D
LOL! I’m sure someone will have them. I’ve no idea what Miss McCain looks like, but I think Chelsea Clinton is very stylishly turned-out these days. She looks ... okay.
Open the link.
Sorry, no bleached blonds in the WH. There are only two times in a woman’s life she could have that color of hair; below the age of 10 and over the age of 70.
my very good friend is in her mid-30s and her hair color is bleach blond--and it is natural!... her eyebrows are very light, too... i believe she is the only 30-something natural bleach blond on the planet... she also has very fair skin and light blue eyes... we tease her from time to time...
Nice!
You do realize that’s a photoshopped picture, don’t you?
As a very UNPC pal of mine said at a Boston FReep a few years ago to a Blond for Peace, “Does the Patch Match?”
Have you read about George W Bush and his relationship with the Texas Rangers baseball organization?
What would Webb think of that photo?
Really? Is that why there’s a large “Don’t You Wish” logo stamped on it?
Was I talking about our soon-to-be ex president? Is he up for election?
And a Mac user to boot!
