Why does CC get a free pass on this? Even the conservative media at Foxnews is saying she handled this situation well. Well, I have news for you Chelsea, when your father is POTUS, Commander-in-chief of the most powerful nation in the free world, then it most certainly is our business when he gets a blowjob from an intern in the Oval Office while his wife, the current candidate for president, sleeps unaware of all this in another room of the White House.
Even so, as a compassionate conservative, I could accept if Chelsea just said she would prefer not to address this topic. But to say this is not our business is just not correct!
And the question was not about the blowjob anyway, which admittedly is an unseemly topic, but rather about whether HRC, the candidate, was any less credible because of how she blamed the whole scandal on a vast right wing conspiracy. I mean this blowjob is not something completely out of the blue for HRC; her husband, WJC, has given her plenty of evidence of his infidelity in the past. For her to deny the whole affair and even worse to blame it on a vast right wing conspiracy, speaks volumes about her intelligence, her judgment, and her powers of discernment. Given the way HRC handled the whole Monica Lewinsky affair, is this really the person we want to lead the free world?
Chelsea Clinton has been given a marvelous opportunity to defend her mother in this whole Monica Lewinsky affair; she could do much better by answering the question rather than saying, however illogical, that it is none of our business!
Chelsea Clinton Continues to Dodge Lewinsky Question

As Chelsea Clinton barnstorms from state to state touting her mother’s accomplishments and answering voters’ questions on global warming and the economy, one unwelcome topic has seeped its way into the discussion.
Monica Lewinsky.
The daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was first confronted with a question about the infamous intern while campaigning at Butler University in Indianapolis, Ind., on March 26.
A male questioner earned a terse response when he asked whether her mother’s credibility had been hurt during the scandal. Before learning the truth about her husband’s relationship with Lewinsky, the former first lady had claimed the allegations against him were fabricated by a “vast right-wing conspiracy.”
“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,” Clinton said.
The question resurfaced five days later, when Chelsea Clinton was speaking Monday to students at North Carolina State University.
Clinton again declined to speak about her father’s relationship with Lewinsky, telling students, “It’s none of your business … that is something that is personal to my family. I’m sure there are things that are personal to your family that you don’t think are anyone else’s business either.”
She added, “I don’t think you should be voting for or against my mother because of my father.”
Political strategists say that Chelsea Clinton is the Clinton campaign’s best tool for attracting young voters on the campaign trail. She is a counterweight to the appeal of Democratic opponent Barack Obama, who has attracted young voters drawn to the Illinois senator’s energy and idealism.
But whether she can continue to avoid the topic may depend on whether it picks up steam as she travels from campus to campus.
“If you ask the typical student on the college campus, what do you know about Bill Clinton? The first thing they’re going to say is Monica Lewinsky,” said Tiffany Wilson, a reporter with ThePalestra.com, an online news organization that targets college students.
Wilson said she does not believe a concerted effort is underway on college campuses to raise the issue with a “malicious intent.” However, justified or not, some youth voters feel it is a topic worth addressing.
“It’s a big part of what my generation remembers about former President Clinton and something they’re curious to know more about in preparation for a possible Hillary Clinton White House,” Wilson said.
“It would probably help college students understand more than simply dismissing it. Just saying ‘It’s none of your business,’ doesn’t really resonate well,” she added
