Chelsea Clinton's reaction to question regarding Lewinsky

She is a Clinton surrogate........She is fair game...........

You honestly believe that it's appropriate to ask a kid about the activities of their parents personal lives?
So would it be fair game if the Bush twins were asked whether Daddy was into bestiality for milking the horse?

Sorry fjuh, but the minute Chelsea jumped into the muddy waters of politics, she too became a target. Even her dad said so. You know the old saying, "If you can't stand the heat in the kitchen....."

One would think that Chelsea, with all that college training, would understand that at some time someone was going to ask about her dad and his talley wacker. In fact, I wonder how many of her friends in school didn't joke and/or ask her about it? I would have thought her parents would have prepared her for such a question. If not then Hillary is NOT prepared to be President.

Thanks to her dad both my daughters learned about BJ's. My youngest was 8 at the time and she asked me what it was. What about my kids? Who stopped them from hearing about her dad? Now she doesn't want to talk about it? Sorry, but to that I have to say BS. Get in politics and get ready to get hit, just like your dad said. If you don't like the questions then go back home. They are good questions and they need to be answered.

She is not a kid..........She is 27 years old and a surrogate campaining for a candidate to be president.......If she can't stand the heat she should get out of the kitchen..............The Bush twins never were surrogates nor did they ever campaign for President Bush.........If somehow Billary were to get the nomination you ain't seen nothing yet............The Clintons are corrupt and that will be and issue in November......I can't wait............

If the question was posed to Hilary herself or to Bill, fine. But it was not to either of them it was to their daughter. Setting aside your distaste of Hilary for a moment and put yourself in the shoes of Chelsea, how would it make you feel to have had to go through that national humiliation and then having the same nightmare brought back again. He could've used more etiquette with the question and been more diplomatic. I don't think anyone would like to have their parents called on as monsters, sex offenders ect and need to provide some rational against it.

I don't disagree with her refusal to answer the question--I disagree with the manner in which she refused to answer the question.

Hillary Clinton's credibility is RELEVANT to her run for the presidency. When a politician chooses to become a politician, he/she puts their personal lives on display to some extent. Your comparison is a joke.
 
Navy Pride, yes, Chelsea, in chosing to campaign for her mother, is fair game for hard questions. This does not mean that it is fair game to ask her anything, nor that she should not be able to draw a line as to what she will and will not discuss. Michelle Obama campaigns for her husband as another example, and I believe McCain's wife does as well, and I think they have that exact same right, to refuse to answer certain questions.

Aps, Jfuh did not say that Clinton's credibility was not relevant. You are specifically misrepresenting his words to create a straw man argument. The topic, in case you forgot, was about the Clinton's daughter's reaction to a question, and he responded by comparing it to Bush's sons, not by suggesting that Hillary Clinton's credibility is irrelevant.

I hope that someday, the same happens to your children and all those that have thanked you.

Well, not really. But you DO deserve it, just the same. Shame on you.

As Redress addressed already - ask me anything you want to about MY sex life - in otherwords if it was directed at Hilary or Bill, fine. But leave Chelsea out of this kind of discussion. Do you want to discuss about your parents sex life - are you in any position to be talking about the choices they made? No

Oh, please. He didn't ask for details about her parents sex life. He just asked about her mother's professional credibility. Everyone is acting as if Chelsea is still a teenager with braces. She's an adult now, a grown woman capable of understanding the intricacies of human relationships. I'm assuming a lot here, but I think she's smart enough to look at what happened back then through mature, adult eyes and answer the freaking question on whether or not that past scandal had any effect on her mother's political career.

Of course I'm in no position to be talking about the choices my parents made, but I'm certainly in the perfect position to be talking about the consequences of those choices on their lives, private and professional.
 
Think I'm just gonna go fishing and leave ths BS to you good folks. i cannot understand, no matter how hard I try, how some of you can promote the re-raping of this young ladies mind. Politics be damned. I want no part of you guys. I am ashamed of you.

They say that if you want to wallow with pigs, expect a little mud. That being said, I'm outtie. Buh-bye. :2wave:

I have seen McCain's wife with him but have never seen her campaigning and as for Obama's wife after the things she has said about this country (this is the first time in my life I have ever been proud of my country) I could care less........

Personally I think after the things "Slick Wille" did to Hillary and she let him I don't have any respect for either of the Clinton women, and make no mistake about it Chelsea is a grown woman.....

She is no child..........She is 27.........When does one become and adult in your thinking? 50?:roll:
 
Is she implying that his question was not legitimate? Let's not pretend that the Lewinsky scandal was not a huuuuuge scandal during Clinton's presidency.
Click to expand...

I hope she was implying that.
How is the question legitimate?
How is Bill's cheating a reflection on his wife's "credibility"?
She should've been a better ****? She should've had cosmetic surgery and tried to look younger? She should've snuck into the oval office, crawled under his desk, and given him blowjobs at midday to prevent his turning to interns for this service?
In what way is her husband's philandering a reflection on her "credibility"?
Wealthy, powerful men have always philandered. They all do it.
She happens to be married to one. Sue her.

I'll let you know when you get there...

Just kidding old friend.

Excuse me for being a little sensitive on this topic. I have a grand daughter. Some things are above and beyond politics. Hey, instead, lets talk about Cheney's queer daughter. OK?

Or better yet, let's nail Bush's kids about their father's sitting out Viet Nam, in a cushy NG job, snortin' coke, drinkin' whiskey and porkin' ho's all up and down the gulf coast.

All's fair according to some, so why not?

Never mind. I'm outtie. This thread smells like lowlife body odor. Have fun.

As to response to the comparison, which is a joke.

Again, Chelsea is not the one running for president and to ask such a personal question is utterly retarded. The person that asked regardless of intention was pathetically idiotic.

I'm sorry but just what the hell does college have anything to do with answering such a question of the personal life of one's parents? If they were friends I doubt any of them have ever joked or asked her questions about it because something of such national embarrassments would not be something that you press your friends to answer. I don't know what you think college is about but it's certainly not about questioning the personal lives of your parents.

Juxtaposition.
What about your kids? The situation is hardly even similar in these two instances. Were your kids asked to describe of how you've become a stronger parent for having sex with their dad? Or of how many relationships you may or may not have had before deciding their dad?
 
I'm agreeing with "the other Captain". This is really silly. Chelsea has the right to say, "I do not want to answer that question" anytime she wants. Also, it is irrelevant as to how old she is. She had nothing to do with the Lewinsky issue, she was nothing but an innocent victim of the entire affair...no pun intended. There were and are other ways to ask her about Hillary's credibility. This was obviously a dig.

Did anybody know that it was a Hillary Clinton supporter who asked that question, and who thought the answer might show that Hillary was tough enough to be president? I believe that Chelsea was being a little thin skinned. However, the question was not needed. Hillary has already shown in spades how ruthless she can be.

Tough enough? Hell she made that 3'oclock phone call comment then made the excuse about her bosnia gaff by claiming she was so tired she mispoke about sending herself along with her 13 yr old daughter through a field of snipers. :roll:

I said it in a prior post. Here it is:

While I understand that was a touchy issue, I think Chelsea could have shown some class and said something like, "I think my mother's credibility and strength was heightened by that difficult time, and let's leave it at that. I'd prefer not to discuss that issue."

Or she could have said, "I'd prefer not to discuss that issue."

I thought her first responding with how NO ONE else had asked her such a question was ridiculous. Who cares?

jfuh, read my statement again. I said HILLARY'S credibility.

I never said Chelsea was running for office, but she IS the one who jumped into the ring for mommy. If she is out making claims of her mom’s abilities and she’s taking questions, then she should be smart enough to suspect that such a question could be asked. After all, it was and still is a very hot topic for many Americans. Anyone with a High School Diploma would have been smart enough to predict this question and they would have been ready with a better answer.

I joke with all my friends, so I can only assume her friends would joke with her too. I’m glad that you do agree that this was in fact “a national embarrassment” as you put it. So if it were so “national” as you agree, then why should it not be addressed and why would she not predict it could be asked? In football you have to be ready for the quarterback sneak, in baseball you have to be ready for a bunt, and in politics you have to be ready for something that was "a national embarrassment".

One last thing, I never said I had sex with my daughters. I said Bill Clinton educated my daughters with HIS BJ’s being such a “hot” news topic. His sexual fun made all the papers and TV news and because of HIM my daughters received their sex education before their time. I don’t think I’m the only American who had children during this “national embarrassment” as you so wisely called it.

If I had been President and I had done such a thing to my wife, who is now running for office, I can assure you that my wife and I would prepare our daughters if they wanted to jump in the ring to support their mom. The only thing is, if I had done this I would be 6 feet under.
