Yeah. Chelsea.

I believe the translation is, "fuck you, hard and fast. No vaseline."

She's pretty hardy, for a hot-house flower.

Yeah, yeah: I know Bill and Hillary spent hours around the dinner table insulting her so she'd grow a tough hide. I also know that a memo came down from the division head at a prominent animation company here in L.A.--circa 1994--that said, "make fun of any public figure you want, except Chelsea Clinton."

So, either management overreacted to that infamous (and brutal, and uncalled-for) Saturday Night Live skit, or Hillary Clinton called every single contact she had in the entertainment industry, and--surprise!--they took the call from the First Lady, and created a sort of media blackout around Chelsea.

Personally, I think that should be the rule for underage children of Presidents, Vice Presidents, and Senators. But Amy Carter might see the issue differently.

And there is the fact that Chelsea enjoyed a lot of exotic Grand Tours on the public dime; furthermore, her starting salary right out of college was $100K annually. Which I don't begrudge her, but as a manager in a small publishing company, I pulled down $16K when a subsistence salary was closer to $27K.

This involved a lot of microwaved macaroni and cheese lunches, and a teary confrontation with the cleaning lady when she accidentally threw my mac 'n' cheese out on a Friday night; I'd counted on eating it the following day.

So, yeah. Chelsea looks hot, and poised. She should. I doubt the cleaning lady has thrown out her lunch too many times lately. Protein and a good colorist will do that for just about anyone.

1 The question involved Hillary's handling of the situation, during and after the revelation. Since Chelsea is a surrogate for her mother on the campaign trail, it is a legitimate question.

2 Actually, it was. She was just bristling because someone dared to use the "M" word in front of her. But it will be perceived as an example of her meeting a challenge--even though the person who asked might have merely meant the question literally. And it was a fair question--it was a "horse race" question, and one that had nothing to do with Chelsea's own feelings about her father's affair.

3 Aren't we agreeing?
