Chelsea pimped out.

Anyone think that this is way out of proportion? Maybe the word isn't the best, but it seems to me that Chelsea has effectively been pimped out. Just like every politician's family is when they make calls, etc for the candidate.

"I'm not going to come to your debate if you don't do x" wha wha friggin wha. Reminds me of when they didn't want that restaurant guy to show the pic she posed for.

It could be all political maneuvering. With the Clinton's I wouldn't doubt it.

But really, if it was my daughter they said that about I would be pretty angry. Especially considering the history of comments made about Chelsea.

I'll give Clinton the benefit of the doubt. And the reporter should not have said what he did.

so who would be the pimp Bill or Hilary? It may have been out of line but sometimes the truth hurts.

True.

Then I would have to agree with Skylark and say it is a rare thing when a politician doesn't pimp out their family.

Now that I think of it those family photo ops always creeped me out. They just seemed so fake and just ewwww. The only one I liked is where the kid was running around out of control.

Edit

And to answer your question, Hillary. She has always been the pimp daddy.

**Trooper** · 02-08-2008, 11:01 PM

he has 2 daughters i think

**El_Gringo_Grande** · 02-08-2008, 11:09 PM

Well then I will have to put that on the plus column for now.

(Positive for Obama hasn't used his kids that I know of...yet.)

But back to the Chelsea thing. She is now 27 years old. I think she is big enough to make her own decisions.

**Trooper** · 02-08-2008, 11:11 PM

Who knows because of this they might go over to fox and do the debate there......HAH!!!

**Ferris Bueller** · 02-09-2008, 02:46 AM

of course theyre pimping her out. she was asked for an interview by a six year old (this was on CNN some time back) and she turned the poor little girl down because she "cant talk to the press". So a six year old, who's toughest question would probably be "would you like it if your mommy was president" is now considered "the press"? Thats such crap.

**LuckyStrike** · 02-09-2008, 03:53 PM

politicians pimp out anyone that can.... including family

I just love how the guy who made the comments is now trying to profusely apologize, as is MSNBC. It's great.

I love seeing people fall all over themselves when they screw up.

**whistler** · 02-10-2008, 02:24 AM

This is really not a big deal. It's slang.

Chelsea jokes have a long pedigree.

He apologized for that eventually.

What's appalling is the way MSNBC is caving over this. There's no credibility whatsoever in such media. "We'll report whatever the leading candidate wants us to report, and suppress the uncomfortable truths stated by the longshot candidates as the words of tin foil hat wearers."
