I think we can all agree on this: Chelsea Clinton is a poised and beautiful young woman

[book_worm]

Watching Sen. Clinton's rally on C-Span and seeing Miss Clinton in the background. She's smart, attractive and poised and Bill and Hillary can be very proud of how she turned out.

[Marrah_G]

1. She is indeed.

[ccpup]

2. shocking -- and still upsetting --

to think back when Rush and his cohorts used to refer to Chelsea as the "family dog". The fortitude of a teenage girl to handle those kinds of attacks must have been monumental and remains deeply impressive.

[Hawaii Hiker]

17. That was unforgivable what fat/drug addicted Rush said about her

I remember it like it was yesterday..On Rush's short lived TV show, towards the end of one show, he said the Clinton's got a new dog in the White House, & proceeded to hold up a picture of Chelsea, who was like 13-14 yrs. old at the time....

Totally despicable act from a totally horrible human f-ing being, Rush Limbaugh...

[hisownpetard]

25. Reading that remark, even now, makes my skin crawl.

He is a pig, an absolutely heartless pig.

[existentialist]

3. Agreed.

[MethuenProgressive]

4. She was a wee thing when I shook her little hand years ago.

And she was a cutie way back then too.
:kick:

[Kerrytravelers]

5. I've always said that the Clintons have raised a phenomenal young woman.

She is everything you could want a daughter to be.

[madrchsod]

6. i thought she should run when she is old enough

yes she is a lady.

[City Lights]

7. Absolutely. eom

[Hoof Hearted]

8. Chelsea rocks the house!

I'd LOVE to see her get married in it, if and when she wants.

[caligirl]

19. Can't think of a recent WH daughter who deserves it more. She is poised and well liked.

But Chelsea, don't grimace behind your mom, smile, your a knock out

[RFKHumphreyObama]

9. Yes she is

I've always thought so.

The same attributes both you and I describe also applies to Cate Edwards. John and Elizabeth Edwards should be very proud of her as well. And the same goes to the Kerry daughters. Democratic leaders are raising great children

[Hoof Hearted]

39. Even though we don't have "FAMILY VALUES"

:sarcasm:

[mmonk]

10. Of course she is. So is Cate.

[caligirl]

22. Well, Cate is just drop dead beautiful, sorry.

[DBoon]

24. empathy and intelligence = beauty

which is why Cate and Chelsea have it

and republicans don't

[caligirl]

26. that does help explain the current deficit of same at 1600 Pennsylvania.

[ldf]

11. absolutely

the contrast between her and w's spawn can only be measured in lightyears.

bill and hillary can be nothing but proud. they raised a daughter who is intelligent, and has integrity and class.

they done good.

:thumbsup:

[yourout]

12. Agreed.

[ileus]

13. agreed 100%

[LucyParsons]

14. proud except that she chooses to work at a hedge fund

when she could take her pic of occupations.

I think that says a lot.

But, yes, she is a poised and capable young woman.

[robbedvoter]

15. You mean, like a sainted candidate here did?

I was waiting for that negative comment - wasn't disappointed.

[LucyParsons]

29. yes, just like that (nt)

[Horse with no Name]

35. Why dis her? She isn't running for office? n/t

[Lisa0825]

16. Rec # 5!

She sure has grown up nicely!

[man4allcats]

18. No argument there.

I saw photos of her on the web and on television last week for the first time in years. I was amazed. She is absolutely lovely. Her beauty is only equaled by her intellect and elegance. Chelsea gets my vote for a truly class act, and yes, her parents can be very proud.

[Bluerthanblue]

20. I completely agree-

she is indeed.
:hi:

[HughMoran]

21. I agree - you can see her poise/intelligence just by looking at her

She looks like a very good kid - perhaps someday...

[Emit]

23. Yup. My sentiments exactly. n/t

[roguevalley]

27. her smile is beautiful. both her parents have beautiful smiles.

[DesertRat]

28. I'll never forget when McCain called her "ugly"

when she was just a child. :mad:

[Mr_Monday]

38. What an ass...

I thought he was supposed to be the "honorable" one. I guess attacking women isn't below his honor. I guess Karma has caught up with him though, John "10,000 year occupation" McCain.

[Jim Lane]

41. Here's another sparkling McCain witticism (not about Chelsea Clinton)

From an account of his 1986 campaign against Democrat Richard Kimball:

"In June 1986, McCain gave Kimball an opening. Speaking in Tucson, he jokingly referred to Leisure World as 'Seizure World,' the East Valley retirement community where, in the 1984 election, according to McCain's gag, 97 percent of the people voted and 'the other 3 percent were in intensive care.'" (

Now, let's all join in singing a chorus of "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran".

[Imagevision]

30. Attractive? maybe... Beautiful?..c'mon! - you do know she already had plastic surgery, right?!?

[Horse with no Name]

37. Your point?

What she does with and to her body is no concern of yours.

[Poiuyt]

31. This thread is worthless without pictures

[Tatiana]

36. Man, she looks just like Bill! Lovely pics. n/t

[Hoof Hearted]

40. As a mom

I just melted into a pile of goo.

[Raejeanowl]

32. She Visited The Maryland Ren Fest Years Ago As First Daughter

My two stepdaughters worked there (seasonally) for years. The older of the two bore and bears more than a slight resemblance to her, and at the time, it was compounded by braces and lots of unruly, curly hair.

She was on a break, shopping in another booth, when she happened to look up toward a slight commotion and-by her account-into a mirror, although she knew who it was in an instant. She recalls that she raised her eyebrows, tilted her head and smiled at Chelsea, as if to ask, "Is that really you?" Chelsea, about ten feet away, just tilted her head to the same side, smiled and nodded.

She treasures the moment. And I think it points to what a down-to-earth and well-adjusted kid Chelsea was even in the midst of those turbulent years.

[Evoman]

33. She is very articulate and clean.

:wow:

[Horse with no Name]

34. I think she is a lovely young lady.

And they certainly have much to be proud of.

[Raine]

42. Agreed

she is certainly a credit to her parents.
