Clintons stifle Chelsea on campaign trail

[DesertFox]

It's one thing for Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign to turn down interview requests for the candidate's daughter, Chelsea. But can't a 9-year old reporter catch a break?

Sydney Rieckoff, a Cedar Rapids fourth grader and "kid reporter" for Scholastic News, has posed questions to seven Republican and Democratic presidential hopefuls as they've campaigned across Iowa this year. But when she approached the 27-year-old Chelsea after a campaign event Sunday, she got a different response.

"Do you think your dad would be a good 'first man' in the White House?" Rieckoff asked, but Chelsea brushed her question aside.

"I'm sorry, I don't talk to the press and that applies to you, unfortunately. Even though I think you're cute," Chelsea told the pint-sized journalist.

They're afraid Chelsea might slip up and tell the truth about something.

"Do you think your dad would be a good 'first man' in the White House?" Rieckoff asked, but Chelsea brushed her question aside.

Chelsea: Oh, he would make a fabulous First Lady... There was many a time where I walked in on daddy wearing a blue dress and mommy wearing a suit smoking a cigar... :smirky: Oops, did I say that!

Secret Service: Young lady; do you wan't to ride in the nice black car..........
