To all reports, Chelsea is very nice and extremely hard-working. There’s no sign that she takes her privileges for granted. In addition to that, I think she’s actually really cute, but what difference her looks make is beyond me.
Hating her just seems really, really pathetic.
What, are you going to open a BBQ Pit thread bashing puppies next?
I think I heard somewhere that the Clintons were reimbursing the government for all the extra security they needed for this event. I could be wrong though. Does anyone know what the deal is here?
In fairness, even >I< can take a good photo every hundred snaps or so. She improved (as many of us do) after her adolescence, but I doubt many would sincerely call Ms. Clinton a great beauty. She seems to have inherited the most unfortunate characteristics of both her parents’ features.
“Ugly bitch” and “White House Dog” are undeserved, however. Such hyperbolic insults have traditionally originated from men who *clearly *have no room to talk.
Excepting the OP, of course, who’s rumored to make Derek Zoolander look like Brian Peppers.
Leaving aside the pointless douchebaggery of the rest of your OP, I’d just like to address this exceptionally stupid little nugget. We as a country provide security for ex-Presidents and their families. We do it as a thank you for their service (and regardless of your politics, it is an exceptionally difficult and stressful job) and also because it’s kind of low rent to let your former leaders get kidnapped or assassinated because you’re too cheap to pay for a security detail.
This fact does not obligate these people to spend the rest of their lives in their houses to minimize taxpayer expense, fucktard. Whining about it in a pathetic attempt to score points against people whose politics you don’t like makes you look like a dipshit. I’m guessing you’re the kind of person who offers to take someone out to dinner but then gets pissed if they don’t order the cheapest thing on the menu and a glass of water. Asshole.
I don’t think she’s the slightest bit attractive. (But considering what I woke up next to on occasion back in my wild and crazy youth, I doubt that would stop me from doing her.) However, I suspect she’s a very nice young lady, and I’m sure her new husband think’s believes her to be a queen, so good enough.
Well I wouldn’t be an ass about it and point it out like the OP, but I do find her on the losing end of the attractiveness scale. But YMMV.
I don’t blame her or her parents for the hysteria, though. The media is really giving this even way more attention than it deserves. Do we really need weeks of buildup and pages of copy? Just take some pictures and put them on the Society pages and be done with it.
I think that she’s a babe now but that’s neither here nor there. From everything I’ve heard about her, she’d love nothing more than to have no media or security anywhere near her. She’s been nothing but graceful throughout all of the bullshit that she had to go through as the kid of the POTUS. It’s not her fault that she was born it Bill and Hilary.
Yeah, I’d be astounded if this is the case. The Clinton presidential visit to Uganda in 1998, with all of the staffers, security detail, communcations folks and straphangers ran about $1M/day. There were something like 400 people in all, counting the press. This wedding is just the Clintons’ security detail on the government nickel, along with the effort to clear airspace by the FAA. I may be missing some folks here, but there is nowhere near “millions” of dollars being spent.
Has there been that much hysteria? I didn’t know she was getting married till yesterday (or rather, I knew she was engaged a while back, but I didn’t know they’d set a date and all till yesterday). Desptie the OP, glancing at the major news websites, they all have a blurb off to the side about the wedding on the front page, buts its pretty far from the top story on all of them. CNN.com has a story about what a science sattelite might find feature more prominently.
Partisanship aside, Chelsea Clinton seems to have grown from a slightly awkward adolescent into a very attractive young woman. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but certainly not “ugly” by any stretch of the imagination.
