I would have preferred to let the
original story stand on its own, but it was immediately moved to "bloggers." Note to AdminMod: Sometime blogs CAN be news stories in their own right. This is obviously the case here, as it disturbed WaPo enough to merit editorializing.

Thanks for posting both articles - I enjoyed reading them.
The original piece was kinda dumb because the author assumed that Chelsea would be fascinating talking about Monica Lewinsky. And yet it’s clear from the entire article that she’s the most boring person in the world; something we here at FR knew for years. Why would she suddenly become interesting on this subject?
Like Caroline Kennedy, she’s been a sheltered little pet her whole life. That doesn’t make for strong, interesting personalities.

monica lewinsky is someone’s daughter, too. was she about chelsea’s age when her fame began?

Almost everyone I spoke to for this storyfrom within NBC and at other networks as wellagree that that problem is that she wont talk about the one thing that makes her undeniably compelling. How did it feel to be Chelsea Clinton during the Monica years? I'd think the most compelling question would be, "Who's yer daddy?"

I wholeheartedly share in the sentiments you've expressed. There are many instances in which there were articles I've had to pass up on posting as a result of similar experiences regarding content category.
BTW: the article you've linked to seems to have been removed from being categorized under the 'blogging' label.
