5. Wow, what a hate filled cartoon...

Drawn by a small, stupid, hate-filled cartoonist.


"I wasn't going to let my lack of talent, accomplishments, or experience stand in my way," says Rall, putting his words in Chelsea Clinton's mouth.

From Wikipedia on Chelsea Clinton:

Clinton was a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist in 1997, and is a veteran of the Model United Nations.

Clinton graduated (from Stanford) in 2001 with highest honors and a B.A. in history.
In July 2001, President Clinton revealed at Wimbledon that Chelsea would attend University College, Oxford in the fall – the same college where he studied politics between 1968 and 1970 on a Rhodes Scholarship. Chelsea did not apply for a Rhodes(*).

(*) This allowed it to go to someone less financially able, like her father once was.

At Oxford, Clinton was awarded an M.Phil. in international relations in 2003.

In the spring of 2010, Clinton completed a Master of Public Health degree at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health.

She is presently pursuing doctoral studies at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, New York University.



Accusing someone else of lacking talent is especially rich since Rall has clearly never learned to draw.

7. So you think that family connections

have nothing to do with it?

In the same reality based community I live in, where you got your degree, and what are your family connections are THAT important.

You seriously think a kid that went to City College in New York and was a Rhodes Scholar would have the exact same changes? Seriously.

9. I was a national merit scholarship semifinalist

I didn't get accepted to any ivy league school, or Stanford.

Your love for the Clintons blinds you to the fact that they have capitalized on their fame and connections, big time. That's not hate, that's reality.

6. You'd think they'd know better...

...but maybe they just don't care how it looks to the rest of us.

8. Just another lucky sperm club winner.

In this society we reward luck. Not accomplishments, not ability, not expertise.

If you are lucky enough to be in the right job market at the right time.

If you are lucky enough to be born during a time when your talents are worth something. Do you think a potential computer genius would be worth anything in 1800? Would Bill Gates have succeeded if he had been born in the Philippines to an unwed mother?

If you are lucky enough to be born at the right time and place you too could be successful like the handful of 1% in the US.

But the other 99% who are not so lucky well, then it's their own fault they were born with bad luck.
