Watch that emotion. Sympathy leads to votes. Votes leads to election. Considering how she was raised, a powerful Chealsea is potentially more dangerous than either of her parents combined.

>>Can you imagine being Monica's father Her father was last seen cursing Clinton for turning Lewinsky into shorthand - a new verb - for a sex act. Editorial: Lewinsky, the verb THE LONG-term historical repercussions of the Clinton impeachment are impossible to predict. But the Lewinsky episode has produced at least one short-term contribution to the popular culture lexicon: an eponymous euphemism for oral sex. Television usually is a reliable reflection of pop culture, and in this case at least three programs have recently featured a character referring to a "Lewinsky." For example, in last week's episode of NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,' a character is described as "getting a Lewinsky." Similar references have appeared this fall in NBC's "Cold Feet" and HBO's "Sex and the City." "Law and Order" was the last straw for Monica's father, Dr. Bernard Lewinsky. He is demanding an apology from the show's producers and NBC for using his last name in such a suggestive manner. "I deserve an apology and so does Monica," Mr. Lewinsky told Variety. "It's not right she be dragged down to the floor again." That's an interesting choice of words. We were under the impression that his daughter was a willing participant with the nation's chief executive -- indeed, she initiated the, um, relationship when she snapped her thong underwear to Mr. Clinton outside the Oval Office. "The point behind my outrage is that there is a family behind this name," Mr. Lewinsky said. "I think it's disgusting they would even consider saying something like that." It's a little late for Mr. Lewinsky to worry about reputations. His indignation comes long after his daughter acted like a trollop, wrote a book about her affair with the president, gave numerous print and television interviews about what she did (including a plum prime-time spot with Barbara Walters), appeared on "Saturday Night Live" in a skit in which she was Bill Clinton's wife in 2001 and recently gave tips on how to prevent lipstick from smearing (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). Clearly, discretion is not Monica's strong point. Yet, her father blames TV for tarnishing the family name. It's not hard to see where the poor girl got her moral bearings. savannahnow.com

This is very sad. This young lady is a victim of extreme emotional child abuse. Pics Show Chelsea Drunk and Disorderly Photographs showing former first daughter Chelsea Clinton staggering bleary-eyed into a popular London watering hole will appear in next week's edition of the supermarket tabloid Globe Magazine. The Globe's cover story headline, "Boozing Chelsea: Clinton Daughter Out of Control," appears over a photo of an unidentified friend grabbing Chelsea by the face in an apparent effort to keep her from passing out. Other Globe photos show Clinton, eyes bloodshot and looking disoriented, reeling as she emerges from a car with friends, one of whom is steadying her by the arm as the group weaves its way into the popular London nightspot Groucho. "I thought Chelsea was about to topple over," a source who witnessed the scene tells the tabloid. "She was wobbling on her feet and a friend had to put her arm out to steady her." The Globe reprints one passage from a British media report that claims: "Looks like Chelsea Clinton stumbled on a staggeringly good time when she hit London's West End this week. And it took a firm pair of hands to stop her from actually hitting the pavement as she swayed happily into the trendy Groucho Club, where dad Bill - the former U.S. president - was partying with U2 star Bono." The drunken night out was not an isolated incident, according to others cited by the Globe, one of whom said the former first daughter is "spinning out of control." "Chelsea's out on the town into the early hours every chance she gets," a Clinton schoolmate adds. "She loves a good time, but everything seems to revolve around drinking." If the reports are accurate, Clinton's problems with alcohol would mirror a family pattern that saw her Uncle Roger finally admit to a life-long addiction to booze and drugs just last summer after entering an Arizona drug rehab center to dry out. Last month another of Chelsea's uncles, Tony Rodham, admitted that he was boozing and smoking marijuana with a neighbor before he ended up entwined on the living room couch with the man's girlfriend. In her younger days Clinton's grandmother Virginia was a fixture on the Little Rock party scene, with one account describing her as "a barfly." According to one friend quoted by the Globe, Chelsea has turned to liquor "as a defense against jokes about her father and Monica Lewinsky and jibes about Hillary." "One night when somebody cracked a Clinton joke, she walked into the bar and ordered a double vodka on the rocks," the source told the tabloid. "She downed it in two swallows and then walked out." Last week the New York Post's Page Six reported that Clinton attended a New York party with sportstars Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter and Ahmad Rashad where "bottles of Veuve Clicquot and vodka" were consumed, but made no mention of Chelsea herself bellying up to the bar. The Globe reported in April that the former first daughter was spotted boozing it up for spring break at several popular nightspots in Aspen, Colo. newsmax.com tom watson tosiwmee
