PICTURES SHOW CHELSEA DRUNK AND DISORDERLY

Pics Show Chelsea Drunk and Disorderly

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.

Liberals tried to capitalize on Bush's reputation as a partyboy in his youth. Now Chelsea will have a public record if she ever decides to follow her mother's footsteps. I have mixed emotions on this but the Clintons did trot out Chelsea when it suited their twisted political ambitions like pushing Chelsea out front on Martha's Vineyard after the Monica revelations or campaigning for her mother. More recently, Chelsea took advantage of her celebrity parents to publish her experiences on 9/11. If an adult seeks the limelight, they must expect that they expose themselves to favorable as well as unfavorable attention. News items like this appear almost daily when sport stars or entertainers are caught in embarassing situations - why is this any different?

Underage drinking deserves little attention by media standards since they totally ignored the antics of Algore's kids. Karina got high all the time and even Algore the III was suspended from HS because of smoking pot! (Not to mention other infractions involving liquor and cars) Did you see these stories splashed all over the papers? No, of course not. He's a democrat.

My point is that Chelsea would get deference, but she wrote those liberal articles and made leftist public statements that make her fair game.

Authorization

Today, the Secret Service is authorized by law to protect:

the President, the Vice President, (or other individuals next in order of succession to the Office of the President), the President-elect and Vice President-elect; the immediate families of the above individuals; former Presidents, their spouses for their lifetimes, except when the spouse re-marries. In 1997, Congressional legislation became effective limiting Secret Service protection to former Presidents for a period of not more than 10 years from the date the former President leaves office. children of former presidents until age 16; visiting heads of foreign states or governments and their spouses traveling with them, other distinguished foreign visitors to the United States, and official representatives of the United States performing special missions abroad; major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, and their spouses within 120 days of a general Presidential election.

I stand corrected.

Chelsea should be left alone, at least until she seeks the public eye for herself.

You can't pick your parents.

She is also the daughter of two parents who were so infatuated with themselves that they forgot to be parents, except for during photo-ops.

Vince Foster would be saddened to see his daughter acting in such a manner. And BTW, where is HILARY! in all this?

Earlier this year I was disgusted to see the media exploitation of the Bush children by the tabloids and this tripe is no better. Teenagers and people in the early twenties have been known to get drunk long before Chelsea Clinton and the Bush girls arrived. I think it is time for Newsmax (alias Nutmax) to go back to reporting on UFO's and selling cures for baldness and leave newsreporting to the journalists.

Thank you. I love NewsMax too. By the way, NM has the right to express its opinion.
What is all these stances to suddenly defend scumbags' daughter?

Pretty much...the Bush girls should have a private life. Trouble is, their dad is president, so they should watch their p's and q's. I suppose the same is true of Chelsea. But considering her old man is out of a job these days, I think it's time to drop the veil on her doings and give the girl some peace.

See #58. She's already done that, and in a very political manner as well.

She's spotlight deprived. Can't stand being in the wings. She's a Bush twin wannabe. Too bad, Chelsea. The Bush twins are cute even when drunk. They also have a caring Grandma to straighten them out.

Now that decent people are living in the White House, Chelsea should drop in for a visit.

[Does anyone remember the story here? When the Clintons were in Washington D.C. driving past the White House during the late 80's, Chelsea asked her mom if they could stop for a visit and was told "Not until decent people are living there." It all depends on what the definition of 'decent' is, one supposes.]

A consistent approach to journalistic standards, instead of berating the media for talking about Jenna/Barbra and lauding them for doing the same to Chelsea.

Double standards are wrong, period.

Good for her! She just now going through the teenage rebellion phase, now that she's an ocean away from Hillary!

College kids getting drunk is nothing new
