Chelsea Clinton won't rule out a political run
Politico ^ | August 14, 2012 | Caitlin McDevitt

Chelsea Clinton isn’t ruling out a future in politics, she tells Vogue. The former first daughter, who has long avoided the press, let journalist Jonathan Van Meter follow her around “for weeks” for a new profile in the magazine’s September issue. From the piece:

People around Chelsea have noticed a change in her, too. “As she’s been exposed to the foundation and to what her father’s doing with his post-presidential life,” says Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin, “I think a light switched on: This is the legacy I’m going to inherit. To say it is an incredible one is an understatement. She now knows that in 20, 30 years, everything about her father’s legacy is in her hands. It’s going to be Chelsea’s responsibility to carry that torch. This is the core of what her grandmother encouraged her to do: embrace her inheritance.”

In many ways, she already has.

A political run based on what? She’s done absolutely nothing in the real world except be the offspring of two of the most corrupt and devious members of the democRat Party.

With you there.

(And, of course, no more Kennedys or any remote relations.)

No more dynasties.

No more Clintons, Bushes, Kennedys, Roosevelts, or Rockefellers.

Wow - that pic bears no resemblance to the real Chelsea. They airbrushed that pic within an inch of its life.

But she inherited her mother’s body - poor thing.

They are filled with people who don't know how to really earn a living.

Exactly. People who do not know how to earn a living are more easily corupted than people who are successful on their own.

Well, she certainly WON'T be accused of being "just another pretty face".

Let’s see...

Chelsea Clinton.
32 years old.
Only child of Former President of the United States William Jefferson Clinton and current U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Graduated from Stanford University in 1997 with highest honors and a B.A. in history. The topic of her 150-page undergraduate thesis was the 1998 Belfast Agreement in Northern Ireland, for which she interviewed her father.

Graduated from University College, Oxford with an MA in Philosophy in international relations in 2003.

Completed a Master of Public Health degree at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health in 2010.

Began pursuing a doctoral degree in International Relations from Oxford University from her home in New York in 2011.

She is a Special Correspondent for NBC News, and works with the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative.

Virdict- A highly (possibly over)edjucated woman who has been surrounded by powerful people since birth and has never done a day of real work in her life. I think it is very likely that she has been pampered, given special consideration and generally been treated as much more important than she has actually ever deserved.

She is the closest thing to a royal princess as it’s possible to get in America.

In other words – an upper class twit who doesn’t know sh*t about sh*t.

Her daddy Webb Hubbell must be so proud!

I thought her daddy was Janet Reno.

Good lord. There’s airbrushing, and then there’s so much photoshopping that it doesn’t even look like the subject.

Translation: The aimless child of a political family finds out she’s not very interested or very good at any of the gift-jobs

She'll be helping to clutter up Congress before we know it (Patrick "Patches" Kennedy redux).
