Being the daughter of a former President and the current Secretary of State certainly has its perks.
Despite poor marks for her reportorial performance it looks like Chelsea Clinton is preparing to renew her contract with NBC News.
According to insiders familiar with negotiations, the Stamford and Columbia graduate is poised to extend her contract with the network to work on special segments for the shows Rock Center and Nightly News, a move that has media watchers confused.
She has done a bunch of warm and fuzzy stories that havent gotten any kind of critical appreciation but she does have that Clinton name, US Weekly senior television editor April Bernard told Fox411. Critics say she doesnt dig deeply enough as a reporter. She is amateurish and green. She also isnt charismatic on camera which is surprising because her dad is so appealing. It is just hard to watch her and know she is there because of who she is.
If its hard for the audience, it is even harder on some NBC veterans.

She’d be prettier if she put on some makeup and did something with her hair and clothes (and I say this as a female - sometimes you have to make an effort!). But Amy has always been flakey and clearly likes to do her own thing.
She’s on the board of an internet company for $300k a year.
I’m not kidding!
“...because her dad is so appealing.”

Must be a media “elite” East Coast thing, becasue NO ONE I know finds the serial rapist “appealing” on ANY level.
An oily, corrupt criminal of limited intelligence who lies reflexively at the level of a 7 year old.
Stanford...Palo Alto...Chelsea's alma mater
Stamford...Birmingham...not
Hillbillies as rule are very socially conservative and go to church...especially in the South
why not smear some group not on our side?
300,000 per year is one helluva board fee
i have had the opportunity to sit on local bank boards
12-15,000 per year..
NewsCorp pays 120,000 per year and grants the occasional deferred options
so I guess 300,000 is possible..at the high end...amazing
Chelsea likes the income and the family has the connections. This is called cronyism, nothing more, nothinge less. It would be interesting to know how much she makes as a journalist.
“If I recall correctly...early in the 2008 presidential campaign, Michelle’s old hospital position was ABOLISHED by the hospital.”

Because no one met the unique qualifications of the talentless, racist, entitlement queen who formerly held the “job”?
Apparently money can buy more things than most of us realize. Sometime in the 1980s one of Savannah’s crookedest lawyers tried to extort money from my mother. This behavior on his part wasn’t particularly shocking but while we were in his office the door opened and this big, fat, moronic looking guy walked in. I didn’t pay him too much attention until the lawyer said, “And look! My son little Joey is now a lawyer too and in practice with me!”. My brother and I gaped in astonishment. We had both gone to school with and played with this guy as a kid. He was beyond stupid and I always thought borderline retarded. I didn’t think he had even finished high school. The money and complete disregard for laws and school policies it must have taken to make this cretin a lawyer still boggles my mind.
It’s good to be queen, ‘er princess.
I always thought that Eleanor Roosevelt would hold the "Ugliest Person Ever to Live at the White House" title till the end of time but both Carters are closing fast.

Yessir. I make the same point often.
Same as when conservatives bash NASCAR fans (almost always conservative) and “soccer moms” (while not reliably conservative, they are at least nuclear family oriented).
“Hillbillies” is also often deployed by blacks as their “N” word for whites.
Your photo is the first I have ever seen of her as an adult. Her appearance is typical of many women anyone would find shopping at their local Krogers.
As Susan Boyle might say that Amy would “brush up” quite nicely.

With your "handle", you'll understand me when I say that Francisco d'Anconia would call this the "aristocracy of pull."
Yikes is right. All she needs now is a bottle of moonshine and a banjo to complete the picture of an inbred, homely mongoloid southern belle. Hillbillies R’ Us.
Yee gads. That’s one interesting gene pool the DNC is recruiting from.
Don’t drink from the same cup as a Clinton or a Carter. It might be contagious.
Sucks when you have to pay off debts.
Well, with that mug, the interviewer/co-correspondent on air with her should just palm a sugar cube or carrot to her....it would be way more entertaining.
cuz u just don’t say “no” to a Clintoon
I had the same thought.
