Some job seekers are whining. Other young people are winning. Faced with a tough job market, Chelsea Clinton got even tougher. (Chelsea Clinton: I wasn't going to let my lack of talent, accomplishments, or experience stand in my way.) She traveled back in time and got herself born to rich and powerful parents... one of a president of the United States! (Chelsea Clinton: Mom and Dad's connections and surname landed me on boards of directors- and a high-paid job at NBC!) Employers want to hire. (Man: THere are jobs. But we employers have trouble finding applications with the skill sets we need. We need daughters of presidents. Chelsea is the daughter of a president. See how it works?) Look at Jenna Bush- if she hadn't resulted from coitus between a president and someone wlse, how could she be taken so seriously on the "Today Show?" Meritocracy: do you have what it takes?
Dan, it’s obvious that Chelsea is taking advantage of her famous parents, but don’t insult Hillary that way. She was ranked one of the top hundred lawyers in the country — she’s enormously competent on her own, she just lacks the charm and charisma of her husband. They’re really a quite impressive couple in terms of their intelligence and capabilities.So I also suggest you avoid being a pig and talking about her ankles, like that has anything to do with anything. Would you refer to the thick ankles of Newt Gingrich?
