(232 posts)15. "Chelsea Clinton Leaving Her Unbelievably Cushy Fake Job at NBC"
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/08/chelsea-clinton-leaving-her-fake-job-at-nbc.html
Kicking off the annual Labor Day Friday News Dump, Chelsea Clinton has announced, via People, that she will no longer pretend to be a reporter. The once (and future?) First Daughter has been a special correspondent for NBC News since 2011, when she was dubbed, following her debut, one of the most boring people of her era. For the occasional feel-good segment or interview with the CGI Geico gecko, Clinton earned a reported annual salary of $600,000, or approximately $26,724 for every minute she was on-air.
She switched to a month-by-month contract earlier this year, allegedly because of her pregnancy and her mother's impending run for president, not because she was being paid an insane amount of money to do almost nothing.
But she just doesn't have time to occasionally appear on TV for a few minutes anymore and is departing, amicably we're sure, to continue focusing on my work at the Clinton Foundation and as Marc and I look forward to welcoming our first child, Clinton told People...
A search for her recent work turns up Oscar-Winning Actor Jeff Bridges Fights to End Childhood Hunger and Homework Diner Serves Up Education With a Side of Food (a follow-up to the same story from last year), along with Chelsea Clinton Pregnant: Marc and I Are Very Excited, Chelsea Clinton: Im Very Excited About First Child, and So Thrilled: Chelsea Clinton Announces Pregnancy.

The Clintons are morally bankrupt. They and their lying minions need to be shown the door.

Doubt it. Chelsea has little ambition for herself beyond lording it at CF and living a .0001% entitled life.

All hands are on deck because the SS Clinton hit an iceBern on the way to the coronation.

I'm guessing her short political career just tanked...badly. Stilted, hesitant, didn't know

That was already her weakness—trustworthiness. Who is making these decisions for her?

Of course they screwed up: have you seen what Third Way did to the country?
