How About President Chelsea?

Posted May 22, 08 4:33 AM CDT in Politics 

(Newser) – Bill Clinton hasn't given up hope of a Clinton woman getting into the White House—but it may be his daughter rather than his wife, ABC reports. Clinton says he would never have thought Chelsea would consider running for office—until she proved a natural on the campaign trail this year. Clinton calls his daughter's emergence the second-best thing of the campaign, after his wife's amazing endurance.

"It all changed after Iowa. She realized her mother lost Iowa 100% because of younger voters," the former president told People. She was upset, bawled, went to her employer and said, 'Look, you got to let me go or give me an indefinite leave of absence. I'm not letting my mother go down like this.'"

Bill has had a checkered ex-presidency, Todd Purdum reports in Vanity Fair, as a phalanx of former aides spills about girlfriends (including, maybe, Walter Mondale’s daughter), cash, "cavernous narcissism," and a coterie of dubious friends and associates.

The first spouse wannabe says bias has been such that “I thought I was literally lost in a fun house.” Still, he partly faults himself for his wife’s fortunes, CNN reports, regretting that he spoke “late at night...'cause if you are tired or angry, you shouldn’t be talking.” More »

    Chelsea Thesis May Clarify Hillary's Role in Irish Peace While Hillary Clinton stands accused of exaggerating her part in the 1998 Irish peace process, the answer might lie in an unlikely 150-page document—Chelsea Clinton's senior thesis from Stanford. Only problem? No one seems to know where it's gone, Newsweek reports, and a Clinton spokesman warns it was "written to satisfy an academic requirement—not media curiosity." More »
