Chelsea Clinton Leaving Her Unbelievably Cushy Fake Job at NBC

It must be hard to stay in a half million dollar per year part-time (very part-time) job when you just can’t seem to care about money.

“I was curious if I could care about (money) on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t,”

Chelsea’s like Mother Theresa.

I have to say though I will miss her hard hitting journalism.

( From New York Magazine)

Kicking off the annual Labor Day Friday News Dump, Chelsea Clinton has announced, via People, that she will no longer pretend to be a reporter. The once (and future?) First Daughter has been a “special correspondent” for NBC News since 2011, when she was dubbed, following her debut, “one of the most boring people of her era.” For the occasional feel-good segment or interview with the CGI Geico gecko, Clinton earned a reported annual salary of $600,000, or approximately $26,724 for every minute she was on-air.

And this is how NBC sent her off.

“Chelsea’s storytelling inspired people across the country and showcased the real power we have as individuals to make a difference in our communities,” said NBC News senior vice president Alex Wallace. “While she will be missed, we look forward to working with her in the future.”

That’s nice.

She’s free to take it or leave it. But it’s old news.

Unfortunately,there are people here who think she deserveS that job. That would be the hildebeast and the presidency. She’s worked SOOOOOOOO hard to get there. Uh, not. Nasty piece of work. So, how much will the clinton foundation be paying the first daughter compared to her previous employer?

Of course she deserved that job. Who else could sell the network a hard hitting interview like this one with Paul McCartney's daughter ? (clip is 45 seconds)

It was seen as a payoff by the public, so now that is known there is no need for the fake pretense of having her hired for a fake job...

Meanwhile, Jenna Hager Bush continues to do an excellent job on the Today show.

NBC was just contributing money to the clintons. It was not a real job. This way it isn’t registered as a campaign contribution.

I learned something, that the GEICO gecko is 6.9” tall.

Totally credible and hartcore journalism! Go Chelsea go!!

Raise your hand if you would “voluntarily” leave a job that pays $22,000/minute for a “job” that pays less.

No one does.

This whole saga has a seedy back story to it that probably involves “legal” money laundering to the Clinton family trust for access and favors.

Is there a Clinton capable of holding a REAL job?

Face it, even the Uber Grifter could do nothing other than be a salesman.

Hillary? Heh, what a loser.

Chelsea, as Thumper’s mother said, “If you cannot say anything nice......”

“You might be of the opinion that she’s cuter than Chelsea...”

One would need scientific notation to adequately express the degree of increased cuteness over Chelsea.

However, the important thing is that same thing could be said about the intellect difference...Ms Bush wins... big time.

Yeah, but...

which one has more “viewed as being of the elite” status?

Of course, Chelsea wins this one hands down.

At least Jenna doesn’t look like Webb Hubbell.
