NBC Paid Chelsea Clinton $600,000 to Do Nothing, Basically
New York Magazine ^ | 6/13/14 | Joe Coscarelli

Former first child (now with child) Chelsea Clinton had a $600,000 annual contract at NBC News, Politico reports, where she served as a "special correspondent" and was deemed to be mostly useless, if not "one of the most boring people of her era." That deal is over now, but Clinton is still being paid by the network (which has also hired Luke Russert, Meghan McCain, and Jenna Bush ... ) on a month-to-month basis, with complicating factors including her pregnancy and the good odds her mother is running for president.

-snip-

That work included little of note, either journalistically or personally, despite Brian Williams admitting during Clinton's first appearance, "In the months to come, we want to hear about you and your life." (He added, as an afterthought, "We want to hear about the lives of the people you're going to highlight.")

But one time she interviewed the cartoon Geico gecko:

This was about raising her profile, and paying off the family for something. (Comcast Merger support?)

CBS will be running another “HILARRY CINTON FOR PRESIDENT!!!” show, starring Tea Leoni, called “Madam Secretary”, about a female Secretary of State, starting in September.

This is all so blatant promotion, and they no longer give a damn who knows it, because no one on our side is going to get off their butts to protest it, like the left would.

At least I’ve seen the Bush daughter. She is at least watchable. Never saw Clinton. If Mc Cain was promo’d as coming up next, I said a brief prayer of thanks for the warning and changed the channel.

Chelsea did even better than Michelle Obama, who was only paid $300,000 for doing nothing in her “community outreach” job.

They are an equal opportunity employer — they also hired Jenna Bush to do nothing and in her last assignment she cuddled up to Uncle Bill Clinton.

Have you read it?

It is good and reads good between the lines too.

NBC Paid Chelsea Clinton $600,000 to Do Nothing...

It appears to me that this also has some similarities to Mrs. Clinton's CATTLEGATE scandal in which she miraculously turned $1,000 into $100K (lying that she used cattle futures info from the WSJ, IIRC), but, one suspects, most likely to curry favor with the party (broker firm?) that (again, IIRC) ate the losses and yielded the profits to Hillary.

If Socks the Cat (R.I.P.) had hung on, maybe Socks would also have gotten a sweet (W.P.A.) gig like this.

Maybe so, but she is more liberal than Chelsea.

Name one issue, then tell me each of their positions and explain why Jenna is more liberal.

Doesn’t this bother people beyond the conservative sphere? Those who have to work hard for a small fraction of that $600K? Those whose kids had to encumber themselves with huge loans to earn degrees, and who now face joblessness and massive debt? Maybe even GE/NBC shareholders?

They need to investigate this as money-laundering, illegal funneling of money to political campaigns and the democrat party.

That pick of her on Drudge was hideous. Ms. Hubbell should go full sharia from now on.

Dangm U;d be willing to do “nothing” for a lot less than $600,000. I could save them some money!
