Chelsea Clinton to Univ. Student: Lewinsky is N.O.Y.B.

And Chelsea has grown up and is her own person!

Crooks and Liars:

While campaigning for her mother Tuesday at Butler University in Indianapolis, Chelsea Clinton fielded a question from a student that she obviously had no intention of answering. Kudos to the former first daughter for handling the situation with class.

“Wow, you’re the first person actually that’s ever asked me that question in the, I don’t know maybe, 70 college campuses I’ve now been to…and I do not think that is any of your business.“

On a side note on the boo boo from Hillary:

Sen. Clinton erred again even as she admitted she misspoke about her experience in Bosnia as First Lady:

Clinton backpedalled Tuesday, saying that she had “made a mistake in describing it. “We were … very much told by the Secret Service and the military that we were going into a war zone and that we had to be conscious of that,” Clinton told an audience. “I was the first first lady taken into a war zone since Eleanor Roosevelt during World War II.”

Pat Nixon’s biographer, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, wrote as follows in Pat Nixon: The Untold Story (1986):

The [July 1969 South Vietnam] visit marked the first time that a First Lady had been in a combat zone, although another First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, had also visited troops on her numerous travels to England and throughout the South Pacific, Australia, and New Zealand during World War II. National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger later described how the President and his party were “whisked from the airport to the Presidential Palace in a helicopter that seemed to go straight up out of range of possible sniper fire and then plummeted between the trees of [President] Thieu’s offices. I never learned how often the pilots had rehearsed this maneuver or,” he added ruefully, “how its risk compared with that of sniper fire.” While my father met with President Thieu, Madame Thieu hosted a formal tea for Mother in the Presidential Palace. The palace was an armed fortress, with sandbags in every entrance to douse fires from shelling and bombing attacks. Mrs. Thieu told Mother she had sent her children to the country, out of danger of the war zone, and how much she missed them.

Certainly the Obama and Hillary campaign are heading up and some slips up from both side is misspeaking on certain topics. But, I found it amazing that the media would put these two under microscope on what they said and do, yet they don't that with McCain. There certainly wasn't an outcry from the media on McCain misspeaking about Iran/Al-Queda connection and how Lickerman had to correct Grampa John. The media should be concentrating on the amount of voters in Pennsylvania that are switching parties.
