Photographs showing former first daughter Chelsea Clinton staggering bleary eyed into a popular London watering hole will appear in next week's edition of the supermarket tabloid Globe Magazine.
The Globe's cover story headline, "Boozing Chelsea: Clinton Daughter Out of Control," appears over a photo of an unidentified friend grabbing Chelsea by the face in an apparent effort to keep her from passing out.
Other Globe photos show Clinton, eyes bloodshot and looking disoriented, reeling as she emerges from a car with friends, one of whom is steadying her by the arm as the group weaves its way into the popular London nightspot Groucho.
"I thought Chelsea was about to topple over," a source who witnessed the scene tells the tabloid. "She was wobbling on her feet and a friend had to put her arm out to steady her."
The Globe reprints one passage from a British media report that claims: "Looks like Chelsea Clinton stumbled on a staggeringly good time when she hit London's West End this week. And it took a firm pair of hands to stop her from actually hitting the pavement as she swayed happily into the trendy Groucho Club, where dad Bill - the former U.S. president - was partying with U2 star Bono."
The drunken night out was not an isolated incident, according to others cited by the Globe, one of whom said the former first daughter is "spinning out of control."
"Chelsea's out on the town into the early hours every chance she gets," a Clinton schoolmate adds. "She loves a good time, but everything seems to revolve around drinking."
If the reports are accurate, Clinton's problems with alcohol would mirror a family pattern that saw her Uncle Roger finally admit to a life-long addiction to booze and drugs just last summer after entering an Arizona drug rehab center to dry out.
Last month another of Chelsea's uncles, Tony Rodham, admitted that he was boozing and smoking marijuana with a neighbor before he ended up entwined on the living room couch with the man's girlfriend.
In her younger days Clinton's grandmother Virginia was a fixture on the Little Rock party scene, with one account describing her as "a barfly."
According to one friend quoted by the Globe, Chelsea has turned to liquor "as a defense against jokes about her father and Monica Lewinsky and jibes about Hillary."
"One night when somebody cracked a Clinton joke, she walked into the bar and ordered a double vodka on the rocks," the source told the tabloid. "She downed it in two swallows and then walked out."
Last week the New York Post's Page Six reported that Clinton attended a New York party with sportstars Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter and Ahmad Rashad where "bottles of Veuve Clicquot and vodka" were consumed, but made no mention of Chelsea herself bellying up to the bar.
The Globe reported in April that the former first daughter was spotted boozing it up for spring break at several popular nightspots in Aspen, Colo.
Isn't this wonderful life Hollywood, Saudi Princes,EuroTrash and famous American political families lead.
When she shows up at Mardi Gras with a Cumo or Kennedy and flashes her "TAT-TATs", we will know for sure.
Just think back to all of Clinton's Sunday Morning photo ops, where he walks down the church steps with Hillary in one hand and the HUGE bible in the other ... where was Chelsea? These Marxists couldn't risk the chance that Chelsea might be influenced by the Church Service.
You know better than to paint a broad brush like that in this forum. LOL
GO PENN STATE!:)
EXACTLY!
Chelsea has the balls to stand up in front of national media and humiliate our president after the NY disasters, for action her old man simply ignored, only to have people here today take the "warm understanding approach" to Chelsea's bar fly problems? You described what the media was doing with these stories on his son while gore was pissing away his ice tea. Then there was Bush attempting to pass national tax cuts, military programs, education programs..., and his daughters are being raked over the public coals?
Here's the real person (adult) that condemned Bush in his handling of the WTC. If she wants to continue to stick her fat nose into political affairs using her parents political keys, the consequences are hers to bear. Sorry if you don't like it.
Whatever ye say about Hitlery and Bubba, I don't think it's fair for the news media to focus on their kid. In the same way that I think the press should leave the Bush girls alone. They were never elected to public office. I don't think they are fair game!
LOL, I'm sure they had their own special services at home for her :)
Now, if NewsMax wants to do some investigative reporting, they should be looking into things like Muslim flying schools in America, or middle eastern students who don't go to school. Things that will help, not just entertain the shut-ins. < /rant >
And just think of what it's like now to be out of the Clinton household and out of college where she was no doubt always felt she had to behave for the sake of her parents' jobs. Holy schneikies, getting ripped a few times now seems like the minimum fallout.
When I read stuff like that article all I can think is thank God my father isn't a politician.
No! This girl is being prepped for a high profile political career - these "youthful indescretions" must be properly recorded for analysis 20 years hence. We don't want any inaccurate stories when she runs for office, do we?
Like so-called father. Does Webb Hubbell (her real father) drink excessively or do drugs? I dunno.

Is this dierected at me? You might have misunderstood me, but my first sentence was said in haughty sarcasm. The media was wrong to go after the Bush daughters. My point is that they are hypocrites for overlooking what the offspring of demcrats do while actively seeking to take down the kids of Republicans. ITS SICK.
Give me a break. Don't be so pathetic. She's just as RED as her "parents".
Take me back a few years, why don't ya? We used to listen to that album on a Victrola. LoL.
Finally someone who enjoys my twisted sense(less?) humor!!
Maybe we're kin?
