And what defines grossly calling attention to yourself? Having been pregnant? Being caught drinking in Austin?
Do you really think Chelsea didnt have any discretions, or is it more likely no one wanted to blemish the Clintons.
I think the rule should be, if you can bring your kids up in the spotlight, then anyone else can comment. Im so tired of our side acting like a bunch of eunuchs and pussy footing around hard issues.
It may be arbitrarily applied, but that doesn’t make it a bad rule. Personally, I’m all for pussyfooting around children. There are some hard issues out there, but this ain’t one of them.
And yeah, if you make a public spectacle of yourself by drinking yourself stupid, that’s grossly calling attention to yourself.
