I say, "good for her!".... [View All]

From NBC's Lauren Appelbaum

Campaigning in Indianapolis for her mother, Chelsea Clinton had a quick retort when asked a question she had never had before. When a male student asked her if her mother's credibility had been hurt during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Clinton quickly responded.

"Wow, you're the first person actually that's ever asked me that question, in the, maybe 70 college campuses that I've been to," Clinton bitterly said at Butler University. "And I don't think that's any of your business."

Apparently, some are surprised that Chelsea Clinton was short with someone when asked about the Lewinsky scandal. :eyes:

This is one of the issues I will continue to mourn about this culture. The fact that people believe that nothing is off limits. There was a time that some issues and topics were considered in poor taste to ask people. In these days of celebrity stalking, reality tv, blogging and myspace too many have forgotten, (or maybe they just never knew) that not every person on the planet wants to share their personal life with the masses. Every person that is part of the "public domain" isn't obliged or interested in having intimate details of their life discussed and analyzed by strangers.

Sorry, but I don't go in for the belief that "public people" are obliged to kiss that aspect of their lives good-bye.

Chelsea Clinton had no choice in her parent's life decisions, and the fact they became "politicians." Just because people lack the ability to discern that it's tacky to ask her questions about what had to be an incredibly difficult time in her life, doesn't mean she should be seen as the bad person here. Shame on the idiot that went there and asked her such a brain-dead question.

Ok--I'm done. lol.
