Back when Chelsea was a kid it was easy to defend her against bunghole Repubs like Limbaugh and narcissistic megalomaniacs like Bill Clinton, but now she is an adult who chose to wade into the polluted waters of American politics.
Last week, when that college kid asked if she felt her mother was all the stronger for weathering President Clinton's predatory behavior in the Oval Office (for those of you who are too young too remember, that was the scandal where Bill was having sex in the Oval Office with that young intern, Monica Lewinsky), Chelsea responded with the "None of your business" spin.
Well, guess what Chelsea, it was his business. It's everyone's business when a President of the United States uses the Oval Office like a cheap motel. The Oval Office is public real estate.
If you don't want to be confronted with real questions about real issues, then sit down and shut up. You are an adult now and you are fair game when you choose to use your last name as a platform to influence an election cycle.
Get used to it or go home.
You have entered the arena of Politics of Personal Destruction that your two power-hungry parents invented.
All you managed to do with your 'answer' is show the American public that your family is choosing, once again, to nurse the infected sore that is 'The Clintons' in full public view.
Had your mother possessed a modicum of self-respect or even a feigned concern for you, she would have left the philandering predator years ago.

I am an Obama supporter ,but I must say that with this question we have really gone to the gutter. I am not jumping in glee, this question was innapropriate and unfair. I have a daughter and she's good and innocent of anything that my husband and I have done. My husband was unfaithful and I remained with him. Looking back after many years, it was the best decision for me and my family. And I hope to God that nobody will ever ask a question like that to my daughter. Good Lord, have we really lost any kind of fairness and sensitivity during these primaries?
Reader:
I am sorry that your husband was unfaithful. That must hurt.
The question that the boy asked Chelsea was built on the form and foundation that Senator Clinton grew through it and ultimately showed strength because of her ability to grow, and carry on.
My point in the post is that the structure of the question was sound and fair. The boy gave Chelsea an opportunity to deliver a message of strength.
Your kind of honorable strength.
