Quotes from Chelsea Clinton's piece in Talk magazine

Talk Magazine Dec 2001/Jan 2002 | Chelsea Clinton

[young1]

Chelsea was in NYC on 9-11 and wrote about her experience in the latest issue of "Talk" magazine. These are my fav quotes.

"One thing I recall is the somewhat irrational medley of thoughts running through my head: my parents, the tax cut, and Humpty-Dumpty."

"I worried that with the tax cut we wouldn't have enough money to repair New York and D.C. and to help the the families of the thousands I knew must have died."

"I was expounding on the detriments of Bush's tax cut as we approached Grand Central Terminal and were met with hordes of people running out of the station.."

"Once we stopped running I started praying. I prayed for my country and my city. I stopped berating the tax cut and started praying that the president would rise to lead us. And I thanked God my mother was a senator representing New York and that Rudy Giuliani was our mayor. I have never reacted so viscerally to a leader, particularly not to one I had been criticizing just the day before for some insensitivity or other.

"As soon as my father got back to New York, I was anxious to bring him to Manhattan......I knew he would want to connect with everyone who was confused and suffering..."

"As he always does, my father made me extemely proud."

"My mother, meanwhile, had worked nonstop, and as my father and I walked around Union Square, person after person approached us to tell us how grateful they were to her, how proud they were of here. I am still so unspeakably proud of her too, and as a New Yorker, grateful for her and her colleagues' efforts."

"That Monday I went to Rosh Hashanah services w/family friends, the Iscols.... In early Aug Zach (their son) was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps..... most people could not understand his decision. Why waste a Cornell eduacation on the military? "

Kennedys do not marry horse-faced, ugly women

Are you sure? Their offspring beg to differ. With the exception of the late John Kennedy, I don't think any of them rate more than a 5 on a 10 point scale. On the other hand, the Bushes produce some good lookers like Lauren and Jeb Bush's son.

Re: 23 - like father, like daughter - loathing the military.

Last time I saw her was on TV at her dad's funeral. Still looked great. Always struck me a a genuinely nice person.

This is more fun than should be allowed by law! :-D

Seriously now, I have to find out if there was a bomb scare or something at Grand Central on 9/11.

"As soon as my father got back to New York, I was anxious to bring him to Manhattan......I knew he would want to connect with everyone who was confused and suffering..."

Thanks for posting this -- these are quotes we haven't seen before. This particular one is barf-alert worthy!

"I was expounding on the detriments of Bush's tax cut as we approached Grand Central Terminal and were met with hordes of people running out of the station.." What in the heck was she doing walking to Grand Central on 9/11 when she's staying around Union Square? And after "wandering" south during the disaster, too. This ditz is some walker, I can tell you that.

Doesn't this sound like a true Cliinton, though -- someone who's literally never worked a day in her life "expounding on the detriments of Bush's tax cut" as "hordes of people" were running out of Grand Central Station? She must be real fun at parties.

"This wants to make me Date Amy Carter........."

To do that you would need a bottle of Jack Daniels and a blindfold.

[blackbart.223]

Have you no sense of decency? That is a very repulsive photo and should have come with a warning.

[operation clinton cleanup]

She is "pre-spinning" quotes! She is writing her history before she gets into office. She has learned from the "draft dodger" letter,covering all the bases.

[diggerwillow]

I kept scrolling up to see if this was posted under humor. What an idiot. What is the phrase that the young are saying..."go kill yourself".

[NYCVirago]

Do you have the entire article in front of you? If so, here's what I want to know: when Tina Brown announced that Chelsea was going to write for Talk, she said something about Chelsea losing people in the WTC who were close to her. I have yet to see anything about this in quotes from this article. Instead we're treated to gems like this:

"One thing I recall is the somewhat irrational medley of thoughts running through my head: my parents, the tax cut, and Humpty-Dumpty."

She's a Clinton, all right!

[blackbart.223]

"I agree with you. This can't be real. It is a joke, right??? NOBODY can be that moronic to buy into this idiotic, senseless, childish, asinine dribble."

Read "Everything To Gain" by Jimmy Carter and his dingbat wife. There are people that moronic.

And the question is, why waste a perfectly good Marine at a liberal dipfest university like Cornell?

[dighton]

What a numbskull. Does the Secret Service breathe for her, or is she capable of doing it herself?

[Calvin Locke]

Paul Harvey, in one of his "rest of the story" things, related a Dubya and Julie(Tricia?) date (Dubya's Air Guard years). Looks like you might have had competition at the time.

[No!]

This whole thing is damned lies!

Must be genetic...
