And those who elect her will deserve what they get.
[Iran Press TV] The daughter of former US president Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is... says that she is open to a run for a multitude of offices, from mayor of New York to the Senate.
"I live in a city and a state and a country where I support my elected representatives," Princess Chelsea Clinton told Fast Company.
"If at some point that weren't the case, and I didn't support my mayor or my city councilwoman or my congresswoman or either of my senators -- and I'm lucky to live in a state where I have lots of women representing me, you know -- maybe then I'd have to ask and answer the question for myself, and come to a different answer," she added.
She said in an interview last month that she's been getting questions about her presidential ambitions since she was a toddler.
"Very few days go by when I don't get that question," the 34-year-old said.
When asked in another interview if she'd consider a political seat, Clinton said: "I don't know. For a long time, my answer to that question was no. At the moment, I find it pretty discouraging that almost none of my friends think about running for public office as an option."
Chelsea's mother, former first lady, senator, secretary of state and failed 2008 White House hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton ... sometimes described as The Liberatress of Libya and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Edward Livingstone ... is a possible contender for the next US presidential election in 2016.

Ohferfoksake... Bad enuf I learned just this week that Harry Reid had spawned a clone. Her en-laws appear to be of a similar ilk. I blame whiskey running Joe Kennedy for starting this Camelot redux horseshi*. Wen will it ever end ?
This is why many of us believe the Democrat Party is not the real enemy; the Democrat Party is just the Customer Service Division of Worldwide Socialism, Inc.

In addition to which the average public sector worker now makes MORE than the average private worker. Any society where this is the case is by definition an autocracy.
In 1960 the total percentage of nonmilitary public workers and grant/subsidy recipients was 5% of the work force. It is now 20%. Absolutely unsustainable. Fifty years ago out of every twenty people working, one worked for the government, two worked to sustain him, and the other seventeen paid taxes to fund road surfaces, textbooks, fighter planes, etc. now, four guys work for the government, but because they make more than private workers, it takes three per public functionary to maintain their magic paychecks. So that means twelve in addition to the four for a total of sixteen. Leaving only four guys' taxes to pay for road surfacing, textbooks, fighter planes, etc. It is mathematically impossible that this can work.
The unified theory on how to fix our problems? Deport every illegal alien by whatever means is required. Force employers to hire above the table. Let go half to two thirds of the public work force, and oblige them to choose between doing the jobs the illegals were doing or facing starvation.
They'll probably, in most cases, take a major hit to their income stream, but oh well. The country cannot afford them where they are, and if we don't get them out of public funding and into the dreaded private sector within a few more years there won't be an America. Too many people at EPA, HUD, OSHA, NMFS, etc., pulling down 60-200K for showing up at work late, reading the NYT until an 11:00AM meeting, having lunch, doing a little work after, and going home at 3:30PM. With no real metrics and no possibility of being fired and losing their magic income stream. And retire at 58 with a pension that is not justified by how much they actually put into the system. At best they produce nothing, at worst their activities include costly regulations that produce nor real benefit to society and make it harder for businesses to be profitable and create wealth and jobs.
Let them do a job in the private sector where they have real metrics, have real anxiety injected into their too-comfortable lives, and deal with the physical effects of hard work and psychological stress that come from that life. Maybe that would give them an understanding of what it takes to create real wealth. Maybe then they would vote on something other than which candidate would be most likely to keep the gravy train going.
The public work force has forgotten the first rule of successful parasites and it is time to remind them.

You know nothing about the Federal Workforce. That is obvious from your rant. I wish it was half as much of a gravy train as you seem to believe it is.
No metrics and no chance of being fired? 200k a year? Show up late and read NYT until 11am? Retire at 58? What planet are you from?
I'm sorry, but you are completely retarded, you need to quit spewing bullshit about something you know nothing about.

They never gave up on the plantation system. Just added some nuance to it. Just like Man Made Global Warming suddenly transitioned to Climate Change even though they still keep pushing the CO2 angle.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
Hillary Rodham Clinton
