Character, some have it and some don't. Do as I say not as I do. Unlike Chelsea, Bush Daughter Flying Commercial after Terror Attack
Less than a week after terrorist hijackers had many Americans wondering whether they'd ever fly again, first daughter Barbara Bush reportedly hopped a commercial flight to Texas from New Haven, where she attends Yale University.
"Buzz on a recent Southwest Airlines flight was that four Secret Service agents had accompanied current first daughter.... on a Southwest flight several days after the attack on America," reports Chicago Sun-Times gossip columnist Michael Sneed.
But while President Bush's daughter braved the not-so-friendly skies, ex-President Bill Clinton was reportedly taking no such chances with his Chelsea.
"Remember Clinton saying no one should be afraid to fly and that he was taking four different domestic flights last week?" reminded Lucianne Goldberg on her website Monday. "Last Sunday he and Chelsea hopped onto a grocery mogul's private jet at Dulles and whisked off to Oxford."
According British papers, Chelsea will continue to enjoy unprecedented protection for any former first child, with at least two Secret Service agents guarding her while she continues her studies in Britain.
In one of his last acts as president, Chelsea's father signed an executive order extending the heavy security, with the White House explaining at the time that it would last only until she graduated Stanford University last June.
And that's not the only protection Miss. Clinton will continue to enjoy. While campus tipsters continue to feed the tabloids dirt on both Bush daughters, an Oxford University official warned of stiff penalties should the former first daughter's privacy be breached.
"Chelsea is entitled to the same privacy as any other student and the College will regard it as a serious disciplinary offence if anybody is discovered deliberately giving out information to the media," reads a letter from Oxford's Dean Orchard to all members of the college -- according to a report in London's Independent newspaper last week. newsmax.com tom watson tosiwmee |
