I think she's hot.

Nude Spock, Friday, 6 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I can't dis, I don't knwo anything about her. You have to think she might be interesting due to her life circumstances.

Mike Hanle y, Friday, 6 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Yes. Yes. Yes.

the pinefox, Friday, 6 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

She wasn't so stupid that she would try using fake idea with the mistakenly held belief that no-one would recognize the daughter of the president. But I guess stupidity of that order is very entertaining, so I shouldn't diss Jenna Bush.

Chelsea? Seems nice, tries to quietly live down her parents' infamy and scandals.

Nicole, Friday, 6 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

'idea' = ID? Or do you have different kinds of idea over there?

Bushes: go on, diss (sp?) away.

the pinefox, Friday, 6 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Fake ID -- I really should proofread.

Jenna seems to be the one that most resembles George W., so it's not too surprising that she comes off as less intelligent than the family dog. I wouldn't be surprised if she elopes with Roger Clinton at some point.

That, of course, would be Classic.

Nicole, Friday, 6 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Is Chelsea named after the football team?...What significance does it have?

james e l, Friday, 6 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

The idea that Bill Clinton loved Chelsea FC so much that he named his daughter after her is entertaining. It's also WRONG. ;-)

Ned Raggett, Friday, 6 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Football teams are female, Ned?

Dan Perry, Friday, 6 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Good point about THe president's daughter being easy to spot. Those littel Bush Babies are bitches. I can tell.

Mike Hanle y, Friday, 6 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Oh yes. In the standard picture used in the Guardian they do look perfectly malevolent.

QPR Clinton: Classic or Dud?

the pinefox, Friday, 6 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Well, given how Mr. Clinton likes to 'love' things, I'm sure he regarded the team as such, sure. ;-)

Ned Raggett, Friday, 6 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

He loves everything.

She was named after the Joni Mitchell song Chelsea Morning . Which basically proves that Bill inhaled

. Chelsea has said the only thing she will eat with eyes is a potato. She stays in good shape by practising ballet 20 hours a week.

· Chelsea, who was a National Merit Scholarship finalist, chose Stanford because of the quality of its academic program and the beauty of its campus. "She fell in love with the place," said someone close to her.

· Her Secret Service code name is "Energy."

· White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry acknowledged that only limited knowledge has emerged about the first daughter. Unfortunately this is very true.

Chelsea, yes please. Bush daughters, yes please but only at the same time.

There was that striking photo of Ms. Chelsea sandwiched between Gwyneth Paltrow & Madonna - certainly NOT the curly haired gal we once mocked and derided during Bill's first days in office. From the looks of this pic, I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

David Raposa, Saturday, 9 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Pfft, Madonna and Gwyneth? If Chelsea was really cool she'd come to Sussed this weekend.

Chelsea used to be in Oxford. Where she is now, I have no idea.

MarkH (MarkH), Friday, 9 January 2004 11:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

matt, get the money first and then see what you can do. you can take us all out for a drink on the reward.

i mean, it couldn't be that hard to get something to her if someone actually cared. like to her dad's office or something?

and, on the original topic, i used to really like what i knew of her. i thought she'd had to deal with a lot of crap and coped in an admirable way. then she did all that crap when she was at oxford saying she would only hang out with americans because english people 'just don't understand' (this was just after sept 11) and apparently went out and threw stuff at anti-war protesters.

not such a fan now, think that the 'mysterious and shy' girl was just her parents keeping a spoiled brat away from the media, sensibly.

A close friend of mine who will remain nameless was at the same college as Chelsea and went out for dinner with herself and a few others early in the first term. Apparently said dinner ended with my (somewhat rotund) friend dancing topless on a table in front of her. No wonder she doesn't want to speak to British people.

Chelsea is neither classic nor dud. She is just a young woman with famous parents. Which can be pretty fucked, but also can open a lot of doors other young people can't walk through. It cuts both ways.

I missed the whole thing and can't find reference to it anymore on the front of the news sites - what was the "scandal" in the last day or 2 about a comment made on MSNBC about Chelsea?

Savannah Smiles, Sunday, 10 February 2008 11:06 (sixteen years ago) link

She finished her MA (international relations, amirite?) the same year I finished my degree. Her final exam was in the same building as mine at the same time, so I saw her then having not seen her once the two years she'd been her. I was a little spaced preparing for the exam so when I saw her waiting outside I did a very obvious and uncool double take, but she laughed at me so that was fine. She has my vote.

caek, Sunday, 10 February 2008 11:22 (sixteen years ago) link

two years she'd been here

caek, Sunday, 10 February 2008 11:23 (sixteen years ago) link

Savannah:

"SEATTLE - MSNBC says it has temporarily suspended anchor David Shuster from all NBC news broadcasts — except to offer his on-air apology for what he said about Chelsea Clinton.

Shuster outraged the Clinton campaign by saying on the air that the campaign had "pimped out" the Clintons' daughter, when they had her place phone calls to party superdelegates on her mother's behalf. "

Chelsea, who was a National Merit Scholarship finalist, chose Stanford because of the quality of its academic program and the beauty of its campus. "She fell in love with the place," said someone close to her.

When she was scouting out her higher education options she came to my campus. I saw her at Spike's Junkyard Dog with a gaggle of like 20 girls, it was like she was the pied piper or something. Her secret service guys were dressed casually in blue jeans and leather jackets and dark sunglasses (at night!) and stood by the door. It was rainy, maybe that's why she chose Stanford.

Chelsea was always going to have some choice opportunities, but a lot of children of privilege do, and they usually don't have to deal with as much public baggage as she does. Hardly classic... or dud for that matter.
