>enduring so many attacks regarding her appearance as a child,
FWIW, One of the most egregious, IMO, was when Rush on his TV show put up a picture of Sox, the White House cat, and then, adjacent to it, a close up picture of a teenage Chelsea with the caption “White House Dog”.
Pretty sleazy and tawdry when a grown man needles a teenage girl in that manner.
Some things just imprint themselves on your mind. That one did, back in 94 or so.
I think you've fallen for the liberal media lie. I was watching that program, and Rush did not caption Chelsea's picture as you said. What happened was, one of the studio audience shouted that out as Rush was saying something else about her. Rush laughed nervously for a second, then disclosed what the audience member had said, but he said that those kind of comments were out of bounds.
