10. Aren't you a joy?

Pathetic response.

32. on DU, it's never hard to find a ah who wants to stir up trouble and provoke people

[Beacool]

46. Yep, there's never a dearth of them.

Any positive post about someone they don't like is enough to set them off.

Like my mother used to say, with class you're born.

[MADem]

49. A little light music for the petulant ones...

They're up past their bedtimes!

I'm sure the grandparents are thrilled, as well. It's a time for happiness--not clear why some have to be snarky or bitter...

[Beacool]

51. Good choice of song!!

The bitters can't help themselves.

21. You know what's *really* boring?

People who think their own boredom is somehow of interest to anyone else.

[840high]

43. +1

[MADem]

50. +1,000 !!!! nt

[greytdemocrat]

29. I agree.

Attention!!! I have a hangnail!!! Good lord.

[WinkyDink]

41. And yet..........

[Walk away]

52. What? No comment about not voting for the Baby in the Primary?

And then having to hold your nose to vote for Hillary's grandchild in the 2056 Presidential election.

[hughee99]

57. You could have also gone with "This is a personal matter between her and her doctor

and it's not anyone else's business".

[MFM008]

4. former POTUS

and Hillary must be THRILLED, they have been waiting! Congrats to their family.

[awoke_in_2003]

15. Grandchildren are special things, for sure. nt

[In_The_Wind]

5. That's wonderful news!

[Proud Public Servant]

7. The baby will be

eligible for a 2052 presidential run. #ReadyforChelseasBaby

[Firebrand Gary]

26. Duzzzzzy!

[global1]

8. If It's A Boy I Hope She Don't Name It "Little Bill".......

Just a joke. Congrats!!! to the future parents and grandparents.

[Beacool]

9. Congratulations to Chelsea and Marc!!!

Hillary must be doing a jig. She's been wanting to be a grandmother from the day they got married. Bill must be thrilled too.

[cosmicone]

11. Great news

Boy or girl, the offspring is going to be a star in politics if he/she wants to be one.

[onehandle]

12. Baby Democrats are Good for America. nt

[Jefferson23]

13. The Clintons will love being grandparents, I think. Fun is on the way. n/t

[CTyankee]

14. that's so nice! Congrats to parents and grandparents!

[onehandle]

16. Hillary: 'My most exciting title yet: Grandmother-To-Be!'

My most exciting title yet: Grandmother-To-Be! @billclinton and I are thrilled that Chelsea and Marc are expecting their first child!

37. That smile Hillary had on the short recording was unbelievable

haven't seen a smile like that in a long time.
She is some kind of happy!

[chervilant]

17. Do we get to call Bill

PawPaw Big Dog?

[hamsterjill]

20. Can you imagine the life that child will have?

He or she will live an amazing life. It would be kind of neat to have a grandfather who was a former President, and a grandmother who has already esteemed herself in history, and may occupy the White House (again) one day, as well.

I wish them all well!

[CTyankee]

18. I wonder if they are going to find out the sex of the baby ahead of its birth?

My bet is that it is a girl...

[kpete]

19. OMG

!!!

[Cirque du So-What]

22. President in 2052?

Not outside the bounds of possibility.

[WinkyDink]

42. The child isn't even born yet. Fame doesn't guarantee good health.

[progressivebydesign]

23. So sweet!!!

Hillary was joking recently about wanting grandkids. Great to see the Clinton and Rodham genes will continue....

Grandkids in the White House? That would be adorable...

[AtheistCrusader]

25. Congrats!

(On the off chance she peruses DU, you never know.)

[handmade34]

27. So nice...

[wheniwasincongress]

28. Can't wait for the Grandma Truthers

The timing is too perfect: Hillary will seen on the trail cradling an adorable newborn to gain votes! They'll do anything!


Grandma Truthers, watch for it.

[AngryAmish]

33. oh, goddammit I wanted to be the first Chelsea baby truther

I could not figure out the angle. There is:

1. Not her first baby.
2. Waiting for Hillary to run...too convenient.
3. Not really pregnant...a la Beyonce
4. Not pregnant with her husbands baby.
5. Baby is a Lizardoid.

Did I miss any?

For now, I'm going with 4. But I'm flexible.

[Arugula Latte]

39. If it's a boy they should name it Ben ... Ben Ghazi Clinton-Mezvinsky

just to piss off these nutjobs.

[Beacool]

48. You are probably right.

They were saying that the shoe thrower was a plant. So I don't think that it's too far fetched to think that some of the tin foil crowd would claim that Chelsea got pregnant to help her mother in her, as yet non existing, campaign.

[YvonneCa]

30. Wonderful news! Congratulations all around... :)

[FiveGoodMen]

31. And, predictably, there are calls for dynasty in this thread.

Why did we break away from Britain again?

Apparently, we WANT a hereditary monarchy!

[lillypaddle]

40. Lighten up, fer gawds sake

It's a baby!

[Blue_Tires]

34. I remember when I was in high school

one of my life plans was to get married to Chelsea and create my own political dynasty...

But my life took a different turn and I wasn't able to get that plan in motion...

[Boomerproud]

35. Can we leave negativity out of this thread (I'm speaking to two posters)

If this announcement annoys you, go post on Freeperville or YouTube. Either wish them well or ignore the story-it's not that hard.

[rurallib]

36. and for a real stretch - paternal grandfather is my former congress critter

from a ways back. A long ways back.

[Hekate]

38. How lovely for them! All the best wishes for a healthy outcome. nt

[Dawson Leery]

44. Congratulations.

[flvegan]

45. Congrats to all involved!
