Chelsea Under Wraps
Margaret Talbot (Dec. 3) seems concerned that the press has somehow given Chelsea Clinton a pass; after all, she's an adult now and making appearances with her mother, accompanying her parents on official foreign visits and so on. I am wondering what Talbot might ask Chelsea that might interest readers. Are there issues relating to education, social security or the economy where Chelsea might offer some new vision? Perhaps, but I doubt it. More likely, the questions would be rather embarrassing ones about her father's foibles, in which she played no part. That would be unfair and unseemly.
Of greater interest to readers is why the press gave Chelsea's mother a pass during Mrs. Clinton's long campaign for the Senate seat in New York. As a candidate for a major office, she traveled all over the state for some 18 months and never held a news conference where questions were freely asked and answered.
