Meet America's newest victim - Chelsea Clinton.
Nobody knows the troubles she's seen. Chelsea's got a right to sing the blues.
Last week, in the Los Angeles Times, someone named Ann Friedman laid out the former First Spawn's credentials as a modern Democrat in good standing. Chelsea is oppressed, as opposed to, say, another first daughter with blond hair. {Well, in three respects, that is all too true ... Ivanka is drop-dead gorgeous, highly intelligent, and socially adept, while Chelsea is butt-ugly, dumb as a box of rocks, and a social klutz.}
"Chelsea," Friedman wrote, "like her mother, never gets a break - unlike Ivanka and her father." {Chelsea's mother has been given an unending number of breaks - 99.99% undeserved - and she has stupidly squandered every one of them through sheer incompetence.}
You don't say. Now that I think about it, it really must be arduous being Chelsea Clinton. This L.A. Times op-ed appeared a day after it was reported that after a nationwide search, she'd been added to the board of Expedia, a travel company owned by Clinton-connected billionaire Barry Diller.
The pay: $250,000 a year in stock options, plus $45,000 cash. It's her second no-heavy-lifting director's gig at a Diller company - she also grabs $299,936 a year for sitting on the board of something called IAC Interactive. Nice work if you can get it. {Good thing Chelsea is so butt-ugly. If Diller had done this for any other, moderately attractive woman, he might have some expectation of her being on her knees in front of him before and after every board meeting, eh?}
Chelsea Clinton. How did her father's aide, Doug Band, describe her?
A "spoiled brat." In the WikiLeaks emails, Band said she had dipped into Clinton Foundation funds for "her V.I.P. wedding," which he described as "not smart." {Well ... what do you expect from a box of rocks, eh?}
But then, how could a graduate of such lofty institutions as Stanford, Oxford and Columbia possibly concern herself about such mundane matters as the provenance of money.
"I was curious," she was once quoted as saying, "if I could care about (money) on some fundamental level, and I couldn't." {Because you don't have a clue where your money comes from, dearie ... it just gets delivered from mommy and daddy.}
What exactly are Chelsea's credentials? She made $600,000 a year "working" for NBC News alongside anchor-fraud Brian Williams. Somebody did the math on her on-air packages (put together by a producer, of course) and discovered that she was paid $26,724 for every minute she appeared on NBC.
Chelsea Clinton was born on third base and thinks she hit a triple - can I actually say that about a member of a protected class (Democrats) and not be brought up on hate-speech charges? Of course, when the exact same thing was said, and rightly so, of George W. or Jeb! Bush, it was marvelously droll and speaking truth to power.
This Ann Friedman can't understand why the spawn of Bill and Hillary is so resented for winning the lucky sperm contest. {"Lucky" ovaries contest, yes ... from a financial standpoint ... but, sperm? THAT is still hotly debated. Enter Webb Hubbell and a turkey baster.}
"The laser-focused Chelsea vitriol is perplexing when it comes from the left," writes Friedman, who is easily perplexed. "Shouldn't such first-daughter hatred be reserved for Ivanka?"
Like Ivanka Trump has had it easy, being screamed at on a JetBlue flight to West Palm by an unhinged homosexual in front of her three babies. Or having her clothing line purged from dying department-store chains on grounds of insufficient Political Correctness.
Chelsea, on the other hand, gets a total free pass. She starts tweeting, and her family's media rumpswabs swoon.
The fake-news Washington Post says her tweets are "edgy." Politico describes them as "spicy, sassy." CNN agrees - Chelsea's tweets display "sass." {Oh ... like the brain-dead one about whether a MAGA hat appearing on Abe Lincoln's head was a photoshop or not?! ROTFLMAO! The bazillions of tweeters who are presently abusing her for that one aren't saying anything about her tweets being edgy, spicy, or sassy - that's for sure!}
She only makes $65,000 per speaking engagement. Her Gramercy Park apartment in Manhattan cost a mere $10.5 million. Her net worth, at age 37, is but $15 million.
No wonder she can't care about money on some fundamental level.
Chelsea Clinton. She just can't get a break.
BOO HOO!
