Flop The Nuts

Two kinds of liars in this world...those that said they quit

The only good time to quit is if someone is opening up the door.

Sorry, I've said too much.

It just shows Chelsea is still very immature.

I've heard she's been meeting with superdelegates and making college visits and other campaign stops, but refuses to talk to the press. Seems to me if you want to be out there and be a part of it, you have to toughen up and talk to the press too. What are they shielding her from, she's been out of college for what, 7 years?

Are you crazy? The masturbation questions would not nearly be relevant. I don't think the marriage and drug use questions are very relevant, though they could be somewhat relevant -- but they did not happen in public office, like the Lewinski stuff did.

Don't mistake what I posted earlier. I am not sticking up for the question's relevance. I am only saying that this sort of question can be expected and a tactful, intelligent answer to it would do much better than snapping about nobody's business and refusing to answer the question.

Please learn to separate emotion from factual occurance. You seem to have a problem with being very emotional and you can not separate your extreme emotion from the situation to assess it objectively. This is not about asknig personal questions. This question is not a personal one -- it asks about Hilary's credibility with regards to something that eventually lead to the impeachment of her husband as president.

Do you think it would be equally as bad to ask if Hilary's credibility would be tarnished if Bill had embezzled money from the government, lied about it befoer a grand jury, and she still stood by him? That is the sort of question that has happened here. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment.

In a spin driven political 24/7 media?

Are you really that naive?

She handled it perfectly..... the issue became how she handled it rather than rehashing old stuff. And I am pretty sure that was the plan all along.

Actually no you don't. She is playing the role of the "wife" as a 'daughter'. Have you seen the other candidates "wives" giving in-depth interviews? Nope. They may say stuff but then they get to shut up if they want too..... they are not the ones running for POTUS after all. Chelsea doesn't have to answer anything she doesn't want too. Kudo's to her for the cajones to realize this.

"Chelsea needs to remember she is a nobody in politics. She needs to bring herself down to the level of an average Joe."

Doesn't telling somewhere to mind their own business do just that? I think the average joe can relate to that. Or if she asked the reporter a counter-question:

"Why don't you go take a flying leap?"

Big

Her answer sounded like she was above average people and their thoughts. She said: "You are the first one who asked me this question out of 70 something colleges I visited......." She talked like she was running for President. I mean her tone, not the content necessarily.

The content sounded like she was 10 years old. None of your business. Kids talk like that.

oc

Classless question.

How can a child be held accountable for the sins of the parent(s)? The kid who asked that question also broke numerous man rules. I say kick him out of the Man Club.

Spider

She isn't being held accountable, she's just being asked a question pertaining (in the questionner's eyes and those of many others) to Hillary's candidacy. When the child hits the campaign trail running and takes an active role, he/she must expect everything that goes along with that. It would be in poor taste to ask such a question in a regular interview, but not in these circumstances.
