By now you have probably heard about a question posed to Chelsea Clinton, 28 year old daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, who is campaigning on behalf of her mother at apparently 70 college campuses.
At Butler University, who beat Southern Alabama in the first round of the NCAA tournament but lost to number 2 seed Tennessee in the second round, a man in the audience asked her if she thought her mother's credibility had been injured by the sexual relationship that the former president had with Monica Lewinsky.
Chelsea, in a calm voice, responded…
“Wow,, you're the first person actually that's ever asked me that question in the, I don't know, maybe 70 college campuses I've now been to, and I do not think that is any of your business."
Well, Chelsea, It is VERY MUCH his business. When you are running for president, like your mother, you open yourself up to all sorts of questions, good and bad. It was an embarrassing situation for any family to go through, and to be the president of the United States makes it so much worse. But as a presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton is exposed to those kinds of questions whether she likes it or not. And you, as someone speaking to 70 colleges, you are ALSO open to those questions. So while you might not like it, it is kind of like the elephant in the room, and you need to answer it.
And one other thing. I didn’t appreciate your tone when you responded. I HATE, HATE when someone says something like “it’s none of your business”, because it has an air of condescension or superiority, like you are dismissing someone below you on the social scale for making a comment not worthy of you. Watch your tone young lady, or get off the campaign trail.
Note: I apologize to all Hillary fans who think she was within her right to tell that guy to go eff himself when he asked a question about a past experience while SHE WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE that could affect her current attempt to GET BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Note 2: I love when politicians, like Hil, exaggerate or flat out lie about past experiences that are easily corroborated. I, despite many Hillary haters, don’t really fault her for it. So what, she exaggerated. We all do it, hell, I did it earlier today when talking about how close I made a flight before they shut the door. I was the SECOND to last person on before we took off. Not the last. SO WHAT? But when exaggerating, or lying, at least do it where you are not going to get caught, instead of say, when a video of the moment is easily found in YouTube or when someone can find out on wikipedia when Sir Edmund Hillary scaled Mount Everest after you claim you were named after him (i.e. Hillary was born in 1947 and Edmund climbed Everest in 1953), unless of course your parents were big fans of Eddie long before he became a world wide phenom. Big fans of New Zealanders, Hillary’s parents were.
