There’s much chatter today that Chelsea Clinton, while headlining a North Carolina State campaign event for her mother, was once again asked about l’affaire Lewinsky and how it affects her mother’s candidacy. And once again, she briskly dismissed the questioner.
But (sorry Chelsea!) the door’s been opened. So whichever lucky interviewer (Matt Lauer? Barbara Walters?) lands the first big Chelsea get, they’ll be able to shield a creepy question with something like this: “Chelsea, how did it feel to be asked about Monica Lewinsky?”
