It's hard out here for a pimp...

Gentle readers,

So, now I've heard everything. A major network has accused Mrs. Clinton of "pimping out" her daughter Chelsea to draw the youth vote. Now, honestly, have you ever heard anything more ridiculous in your life? Firstly, Chelsea is a grown woman who has obviously decided she believes enough in her mother to campaign for her. Good for her. Now, unlike certain other first daughters, Chelsea was quiet and despite spending some awkwardly formative years very much in the public eye, has grown in to an articulate young woman. Chelsea had the unenviable position of going through puberty in the public eye. During a period in a girl's life when our bodies are changing and you're all knees and elbows and let's face it not many of us were sexy at 14, she got regularly insulted about her looks. Did she turn to drugs, alcohol or even develop an eating disorder? Nope. She went to school, studied hard and stayed out of trouble...and out of the papers. I admire Chelsea Clinton as much as I admire her parents. She's a strong, well adjusted woman and the formula is two strong well adjusted parents and good role models.

I ask you this, if Chelsea had not campaigned on her mother's behalf, the good folks at Fox News would have asked where the heck she was. Did she not believe in dear old Mom? And as for Chelsea's looks, frankly, she's not drop dead gorgeous but she's not butt ugly either. If I had to spend an evening with either Miss Clinton or Miss Hilton, I pick Miss Clinton every time. Smart chicks are hot.

I look forward to having Chelsea as first-daughter again soon. I'm WYM and I approved this message.

Random Musing Item: Why must each political ad end that way? I don't care who you are or that you approved of the message. I stopped listening as soon as I realized it was a political ad. I can read and form my own opinion without watching you pet puppies and kiss babies and tell me that we need to build a big wall on our borders.
