From NBC's Lauren Appelbaum
Campaigning in Indianapolis for her mother, Chelsea Clinton had a quick retort when asked a question she had never had before. When a male student asked her if her mother's credibility had been hurt during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Clinton quickly responded.
"Wow, you're the first person actually that's ever asked me that question, in the, maybe 70 college campuses that I've been to," Clinton bitterly said at Butler University. "And I don't think that's any of your business.""
The student who had asked the question was taken aback by this sarcastic rebuke, as he was a Clinton supporter who was constantly having to defend his support of Hilary to his friends who would always bring that up as a reason that they would never vote for her.
My wife has verbalized in teh past that she views her as weak and that she would never vote for her because she didn't divorce Bill during that scandal. It seems to be a legitimate question and maybe Chelsea did miss an opportunity to convince some fence-sitters out there who perceive her mother as too weak to lead this nation...
What do you think?
