Chelsea Clinton dodges question about Bosnia sniper Incident
She was asked about Snipergate at a town hall. Her response:

"Well sir, I think that my mother’s on record as having talked about this and I support what she said. I mean, I was there as well and I’m so honored that I was there."

20. Chelsea throws Momma under the Bus
She was clearly uncomfortable answer...maybe trying to figure out if she should repeat the lie or just keep it short and let Hillary deal with this disaster.

5. Funny, Hillary never mentioned her concern for teenage Chelsea, in all
of this sniper fire and running for cover.

6. Leave Chelsea alone!
Ouch. It's really too bad Chelsea has to be drawn into defending her Mom's lie, but I don't blame the media for asking. "No comment" would have been a better answer.

14. They've got Chelsea at Town Halls
So I figure that means the campaign expects people to be asking her questions.

18. Chelsea was an eyewitness to Tuzla and is an official member of Hillary's PR team
Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 01:57 PM by rocknation
questioning her on the matter is perfectly kosher. Oh the other hand, I think the fact that she HAS said nothing until now speaks for itself.

11. She supports what she said?
Does that mean she confirms it? I find everything about this incident perplexing.

16. How far will the Clintons go? Well, it seems like
they are willing to have Chelsea ruin her own future.

If this isn't asking too much of a daughter you've got to wonder.


David Schuster should never have been suspended.

23. Poor Chelsea
I feel badly for her, having to stand up to the brunt of this, caused by her Mother's stupidity. What possessed Hillary to say these things?
