Yeah. Chelsea Clinton, Off-Limits in the 1990s.
June 10, 2009
It wasn’t just at Saturday Night Live.
It was everywhere.
The comedy writer whom I was seeing at the time complained about his boss sending out a memo that specified no one could make fun of Chelsea Clinton.
“Come on,” I said, “I know Mrs. Clinton was being a bit high-handed about it, but don’t you think that maybe this could be a good thing? I mean, maybe it will set a precedent, and people will stop making fun of politicians’ underaged kids.”
“What is going to happen,” he told me, “is that it won’t be okay to make fun of Democrats’ underaged kids. The moment we have another Republican in the White House, it will be completely acceptable again.”
“You are such a cynic,” I replied.
And that is what I thought.
Was anyone ever so young? I was 33 years old. I was still a Democrat. And I thought most people tried, really tried, to behave decently.

Miss Attila, for a little even handedness, check out the picture accompanying Ralph Peters opinion piece in the NY Post about Obama’s frigid relationships with Europeans. The picture is of the president and sec-state Clinton in Cairo. My suggested caption: Why did President Obama take a Russian peasant with him to Egypt? Doubt that you’ll be seeing it on Letterman.

Are you at all surprised at this after Bill Clinton was given a pass by all the leftist womyns’ rights groups for his sexual depravity and abusive relationships with women?
I’m not.

John Casteel, those who have willingly made themselves public figures are fair game. But it is completely dishonorable to drag the children of public figures through the mud.

Why cannot Letterman be sued for libel?
Should not the NYPD arrest this sick 62 year old pervert for defamation of a young child’s character?
There must be some sort of legal avenue for this sick liberal and Obama supporter to be jailed for suggesting that a 14 year old was raped watching America’s pastime with her mother.

America has played the liberal game for too long.
We have got so used to democrats and liberals beating up on Conervatives that we have lost sigh of what our rights are.
Is there some legal mind who can advise if this pervert can be jailed ?
