From Drudge on Election day 2000:After voting, the Clintons were greeted by a group of women wearing rubber Hillary masks, blonde wigs, and carrying signs reading 'New York Blondes fully pumped for Hillary.' President Clinton asked for group photo. ABCNEWS reported that during the photos, Chelsea blurted: "I feel like a porn star!" The President winced, and scowled at his daughter...
AND....
"Sexual carousing is one thing, but murder by lead poisoning or internal bleeding is a completely different matter. During the current controversy, many people have come up to me, from all walks of life, from every village in the world, asking the question of what one is to do with the situation of unruly parents. What I always tell them, before speaking the truth, is that it all depends on what their definition of discipline is. A mere change of phrase can, after all, rearrange the whole meaning of a word; thus, making it no longer applicable to the topic, at hand. At any rate, I tell the people that if, by discipline, they are speaking of as harsh a reprimand as impeachment was, then a simple pat on the rear will do, quite nicely. The good thing about this form of punishment is that it is simple, effortlessly executed anywhere, and costs a lot less that the price of the Starr Investigation."

Hell they'd attack George Clinton, thinking he was Bill's long lost relative ....
To Amy's credit - at least she had the grace and common sense to just go away and live her life - realizing that MOST people don't care about the children of FORMER presidents.
Have to wonder if Chelsea is so insecure that she craves this attention.
Daddy's girl
CHELSEA Clinton (above) is learning some sexy new moves from pal Donatella Versace. The formerly frumpy former first daughter dirty-danced with beau Ian Klaus until 2:30 a.m at the bash following Versace's fashion show in Milan the other night, reports Women's Wear Daily. Chelsea slid Klaus' tie around her neck "stripper-style" and ground against him while wearing a black fishnet top and tight black trousers, the trade paper reports. Heather Graham, Ron Wood and Molly Shannon watched her go at it. "I'm having so much fun!" she gushed.
Barf bags are available.
Put on your cynical hat for a moment, though.
Chelsea is not ugly ugly, but she is not particularly attractive, either. Nor is she glamourous, nor is she endowed with any vestige of grace and poise. She does not have a charming wit, nor is she noted for her piercing intellect. Instead, she is awkward and gawky, and unlikely to improve with age.
Yet suddenly she's in all the society pages -- running with the glamour crowd, being touted as "beautiful," etc.
A cynic would suggest that all of this Chelsea coverage is manufactured. In which case the question becomes, why?
And then we remember that she's a Clinton, and the cynic's mind makes the connection: she's going to run for something, from someplace, but needs to be "famous" first.
Everyone seems to be missing the point I am trying to make...
It's OK to bash her based on politics, I just think it's foolish to bash her based on her looks because she's NOT that ugly anymore. Doing so makes us look foolish when there are SO MANY other things to bash her about. It makes us look like we are grasping for straws.
Now...Bashing Hillary over her legs is a WHOLE other subject...
Ps....I appreciate the point you are making. It is a good one.
Chris M, is that you?
I can only go by the evidence I have seen in the media -- which are touting the "new Chelsea."
You can judge for yourself whether the rumors about "suddenly glamourous Chelsea" are true -- obviously they are not.
Her public writing and speaking are noteworthy only for their vapidity -- what did she say about her (alleged) trauma on Sept. 11? Why, the first thing we all thought: that Bush's tax cuts had made this disaster possible.
And when she's seen in motion, she basically just clunks around in clothes that look bad on her -- so much for style and grace.
