Since word broke on Thursday night that Chelsea Clinton will be having a baby, ABC has fixated over the news, devoting 12 minutes and 47 seconds of coverage to the arrival of America's new "royal" child. Yet, the same network totally ignored the latest delay of the Kyestone XL pipeline by the Obama administration (and the political ramifications that go with it).
On Friday morning, ABC reporter Bianna Golodryga hyped, "Move over, Prince George, though. This morning, Americans have their own royal, or, rather, presidential baby, to look forward to." On Sunday, This Week avoided Keystone, yet the ABC program opened with an announcer hyping, "Chelsea Clinton's surprise announcement. Has a Clinton dynasty begun?" Host Martha Raddatz brought the baby up to her panel and fawned, "Very important question, what do you think Hillary Clinton should be called as a grandma?" [MP3 audio here.]

Will it be a hyphenated baby? If it’s a boy, Ol Webb’s line will continue..
Rosemary’s Baby.
I hope it has two heads.
Shouldn't the media be referring to this as:
the 'Royal' Clinton Fetus?
If it has Down’s Syndrome, let’s see how the Left will treat the baby, as opposed to what they said about Trig.
This is exactly the kind of "cult of personality" politics that fascinated, then destroyed, the Roman Republic, leaving behind only a personality cult of the emperor Augustus and his imperial Julio-Claudian family.
Servile modern voters seem drawn to that crap -- precisely because they've never been educated about the malefic effects of family politics on polities. Pick one: the Peisistratids, the Alcmaeonidae, the Ptolemies, the Julio-Claudians, the Severans, the Visconti and DeMedicis. There's a civics lesson for you: "Omnia fatis in peius ruere."
Well, the cult of personality has been ruling for as long as I can remember.
It was telling when Vanity Fair ceased to be an evil symbol warning against pride and worldliness in “Pilgrim’s Progess” and became a fashionable magazine for those who want to follow the latest trends.
Feuilleton. We strain at gnats, and swallow camels.
I'll name you three more, from the other side of the world: in chronological order, the Fujiwaras in Heian Japan, the Qings (Jurchen Manchus) in China, and the Nehrus in India. Moreover, even today, there are essentially two families in Japan who have been flip-flopping the Prime Minister position since the mid-1800s.

My cynical self tells me that there is no way in hell CC will leave the hospital with anything but a PERFECT, campaign poster type baby. NO matter what ‘they’ have to do.
Unless of course a certain type of ‘deformity’ becomes chic, then that is what will be presented to HRC for her long campaign run.
Would be nice if the kid looked like Weeb or at least more like HRC rather than wee willie.
This poor kid will have ‘outlived’ his/her usefulness when HRC is ‘done’ with it.
Conservatives are totally missing the boat on this. They should be screaming to the networks that every day, there are thousands of children born to illegals, but the pregnancy of this white girl, this is what’s all-important to ABC. Obviously racist.
I thought Chelsea was going to adopt a poor little African child? Remember the hype about it last year? What happened?
I call CNN the “Crash News Network”. Be it any kind: plane, boat, train, bus - they are on it 24/7!
Do you think she would carry to term if testing showed it had down’s? Or would she abort it and publicly brag about it?
My guess is she would abort the baby but call it spontaneous.
Trying to appeal to the most possible voters.
The Clintons have the pro-abort vote locked in and don’t need to prove their love for it.
