Cry me a river

Chelsea Clinton, when not being "pimped out" (more on that later) by her mother to have breakfast with starstruck 21-year-old "superdelegates", is apparently not happy with her employer-provided health insurance, according to Ben Smith at Politico.com:

"'If you have health care and you're not happy with it -- like me who has employer provided health care, but I'm not happy with it -- and if you are one of the 100 million who are uninsured at some point throughout the year... you'll be able to buy into a Congressional health plan,' Chelsea Clinton said in a Milwaukee appearance broadcast, in part, on MSNBC today" (Emphasis mine)

If she's not happy with what she has now, than just exactly what plan, pray tell, would satisfy a person who currently makes a six-figure income (when she bothers to go to work, that is), has millionaire parents, and receives health insurance through her employer? What could she possibly be missing? Pre-warmed speculums?

Oh, and about that "pimped-out" comment, the use of which got David Shuster of MSNBC News suspended: Where was the Clintons' outrage over these types of comments when James Carville, one of their top advisors and closest friends, made the following statement about Paula Jones after she filed a sexual harassment suit against Bill Clinton:

"Drag a $100 bill through a trailer camp and there's no telling what you will find."

You know, that same Paula Jones that the Clintons ended up paying 8,000 $100 bills to, after they settled the case rather than go to trial in the midst of the Monica Lewinsky scandal?

When you are the ones that start the name-calling and character assassination, spare us the fake outrage when others do it to you, please.
