The Dem's Bench: Legacy Edition

Oh god, please say the buzz is true. Please let Chelsea Clinton run for public office. God, Hashem, if you let this happen I'll start going to synagogue again. Honest Injun and pinky swear.

It's not that I think a local Republican will beat her. He wont.

It's that I want to watch the media (those fake news experts) fawn all over themselves telling us how great Chelsea is. How qualified she is, how the depth and breadth of her experience working for mom and dad (her fake one, that is) and marrying into another Dem political family qualifies Chelsea for political office.

Also, I want to watch her on the campaign trail. It will be a challenge to see how vapid her stump speeches will be.

Honestly, what could she talk about in her life?

Let's review. She grew up in the Arkansas Governor's mansion and then the White House.  When her fake dad was elected president and resigned the governorship the Clintons had no place to go. Then she went to college, and then grad school. She worked at NBC for a brief time (wonder what the network thought it was buying with that hire) worked at one of those investment firms for a bit, and then at mom and dad's charitable foundation.

Charitably [there's an interesting word choice-Ed] Chelsea has done absolutely nothing. Uncharitably, [that one's more accurate-Ed] she's a vampire princess.

Now I suppose Chelsea could run for a congressional spot in her new home district in New York State. Coincidentally this is my old congressional district. As it happens we know exactly where her mom and dad's (the fake one) house is. We have no idea where Web Hubbel lives.  Anyhoo, this is small potatoes. Congresswoman Chelsea? Please. Why aim so low? We need Senator Chelsea. Chuck Schummer isn't going anywhere, so Senator Gillibrand is simply going to have to find something else to do.

We'll war game that in another post.
