Chelsea moves in at Oxford

CHELSEA CLINTON arrived to take up her place at University College, Oxford, yesterday accompanied by her father, Bill, and a host of security men.

Miss Clinton had caused alarm for her parents because she was jogging close to the World Trade Centre on September 11 when the atrocities took place and was unable to tell them she was safe for two hours. Yesterday the former president was at her side as she started life at the college he attended in the late 1960s.

Having said goodbye to her mother, Hillary, a New York senator, Miss Clinton, 21, arrived in Britain with her father, who is expected to remain for several days to help her settle in.

Both Britain and the US provided security officials as she pulled up outside the college buildings. A university spokesman said that it had spoken to both countries to ensure appropriate security measures during her two-year course for a MPhil in international relations.

"Miss Clinton has indicated that she hopes to lead a normal student life, both in terms of her studies and her social life," the spokesman added.

"That was my room," Mr Clinton told his daughter, pointing to the window ledge and adding: "And that was where I used to put the milk to keep it cool. We had no refrigerators."

Miss Clinton, a history graduate from Stanford University, California, will have her own room but with shared facilities. Her first week - freshers week - will be spent getting used to her new home. Her studies begin in earnest next Monday and she joins the college officially at the matriculation ceremony on Oct 13.

The university spokesman indicated that no additional security had been considered necessary following the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. However, Thames Valley police officers patrolled the narrow cobbled streets around her college before the Clinton motorcade arrived.

Mr Clinton remained outside talking to staff and officials and reminiscing about his time in Oxford, but Chelsea appeared anxious to get inside and escape the drizzle.

Her father attended the university as a Rhodes scholar from 1968-70, staying in accommodation at the back of University College in Kybald Street, once home to the most notorious brothel in Oxford.

The law is no kid under 15 gets it; Jackie O turned it down for her kids.

And I thought the six year rule on SS started with Clinton.

[TLBSHOW]

[spectre]

I thought that SS had been extended for Chelsea for the rest of the year.

I read on this forum that Clinton AND Hillary have SS protection for life as do other ex-presidents and spouses. All presidents AFTER Clinton will have time limited protection.

If true, Hillary will have own personal guards to abuse for the rest of her natural life.

[Howlin]

First, she was 12 blocks away.

I saw her say that LIVE on Fox News the day she and her dad magically appeared downtown. I'm sure Fox has the film.

LOL, I bet he found out where the current one was when he was there.

[Chong]

Gawd! She has hitlery's cold snake eyes. No surprise there. Thanks for the pictures.

I hope you're right. I'd hate to think the most corrupt Prez. in our history would be protected from his treason for a lifetime. But I thought I remembered him being the last to get lifetime service (Boy I hope my memory sucks...)

[Howlin]

I thought the six year rule started with him, but I could be wrong. I know we only have to pay for his offices for six years, not for life. It's ridiculous as much as he makes.

BTW, SHE does not get ANY SS protection; HE gets a detail and has to share. Barbara and George Bush "share" a detail, a small one. It's not OUR fault Bill and Hillary don't live together.

Chelsea's special order evidently ended when she left Stanford -- or at least it better have.......we NEED the SS here now, not following some bimbo around the world.

Also, Hillary's friends have BEGGED her to give up her agents in D.C. because the Senate has good protection, and they told her it makes her look aloof and snobbish. Of course, she won't......keeps the presses and the great unwashed masses away from her.

[Howlin]

I believe I read it on the Court TV web site during impeachment.......about what he would lose if he was impeached and what he would get. I've never been able to find it since then.......but I do have a contact in D.C. that I will ask.

Oh, no! I hope they had enough self-respect not to accept *his* custom.

[Go Gordon]

If you would be so kind to forward the info my way, I'd be grateful. Thanx...GG

[Howlin]

From one of the funerals:

[Torie]

Not that you have engaged in it, but I am really not too fond of Chelsea bashing. She should be left alone. She has enough to contend with, in almost every way I can think of. I cringe at each and every thread in which she is the focus.

[Publius6961]

Yes, there are better uses for posting on FR.
Like the appropriate diet for hamsters or garter snakes.

What kind of moron thinks anybody here cares what Chelsea does or does not do?

[kcvl]

I wouldn't even mind paying for Chelsea's SS if they would just shut the hell up about it. Just like I would like to forget about X-42 and the New York senator but the MEDIA ELITES won't let me. If the insist on shoving it in my face, I insist on bitching about it.

[HEFFERNAN2]

Well if Klinton is around then the daughter is protected...but she isn't when he is not there...and as far as the six year time limit I am not aware of that but I would be very surprised...I think that as long as they are alive. Cheap insurance especially in these times when you think of the possibility of kidnapping by the camel jockeys. Semper Fi, Mike

[Howlin]

I will email him in the morning!

[Miss Marple]

Look at it this way, Howlin. As long as these people get Secret Service protection, Paul O'Neill ALWAYS knows where they are. This makes me happy.

Even better, all movements are documented. This makes me even happier!

I still want to know if Clinton is going to buy that house in Ireland.

[Howlin]

Does it bother you if we are discussing the waste of taxpayers money? :-)
