The Clintons: a ghastliness that keeps on giving. Here’s Toby Harnden reporting from Iowa
Speaking of Chelsea Clinton, it seems there’s no way she’s going to talk to journalists. “I’m sorry, I don’t talk to the press and that applies to you, unfortunately,” Chelsea said tartly when asked a question about her father Bill as “first man” by reporter Sydney Rieckhoff in Vinton. Perhaps catching herself on, she added: “Even though I think you’re cute.” As the AP reports, Sydney, a “kid reporter” for Scholastic News, is nine years old.
Does she really think that if she cuts one nine-year-old some slack every news organisation is going to hire its own nine-year-old? (Actually, we might…)
Toby also has lots of examples demonstrating that, as I’ve also suggested before, Hillary’s claim that her experience as First Lady gives her the necessary foreign policy chops to be President is balderdash.
