If Chelsea got engaged, it would also be top news. This is not an "arranged marriage"; Chelsea has also been frequently linked with guys whose parents are politically strong in the Dem party and will likely marry a powerfully linked Dem. That's just the way these things go - for instance, Julie Nixon married an Eisenhower. You haters out there need help, serious help. You don't need to hate Jenna, just because you don't like her dad. I don't dislike Chelsea just because I have no respect for her parents. Many here are being quite petty. If Chelsea got engaged, it would also be top news.

Thousands dead in Asian flooding. Miners still trapped. Inadequate bridges all over America. Death toll could reach 500 in recent bombings in Iraq. Major offensive in Afghanistan against the Taliban. Now let's see: If perpetual party girl Jenna, who has had her stomach pumped and has entered rehab to curb her reckless drug and alcohol abuse did ANYTHING charitable to help the flood/earthquake victims, THEN I could possibly care about this story. She is a spoiled, irresponsible brat who has millions, doesn't have to worry about health care or where to buy her prescription drugs. I guess I am tuning in to BBC World News from now on. At least they tell me stuff that MATTERS!!!!!! Let's see:

Hundred dead in Peruvian earthquake.

Thousands dead in Asian flooding.

Miners still trapped.

Inadequate bridges all over America.

Death toll could reach 500 in recent bombings in Iraq.

Major offensive in Afghanistan against the Taliban.

I'm as conservative as one can get, and I too was annoyed by it...so much so that I took a moment to comment not only on the story but on the comments themselves :-) It does make it look as though the White House is desperate for good press...just wait for the report on how we're doing in Iraq, guys!!

You bring up one time where she had a few brews and got buzzed and that was a big deal, Gores son got CAUGHT WITH DRUGS, SPEEDING etc, etc and many on the other side of the aisle like myself tried to take the "high road" (No pun intended) and wish him a speedy recovery and the desire to see him get help. Pathetic. If this was Chelsea Clinton I would write just what I wrote about Jenna. Good luck to them both. Good grief to you losers that can't say anything nice.

I am happy for her as a person. Granted it may have warranted being in the news. It did not warrant being a breaking news, e-mail generating media frenzy. Give the woman some space and concentrate on her daddy's silliness. Dipwads!
