Our dispicable, smutty, press corps

She certainly brings experience to the job. At age 12, she appeared in Bill Clinton’s “Man From Hope” video, testifying to his fatherly virtues. (Mr. Clinton also told viewers of his daughter’s forgiving reaction to his admissions about marital transgressions.) During the Monica Lewinsky scandal six years later, she was photographed hand in hand with her parents, seemingly holding them together.

When Mrs. Clinton first ran for the Senate, her 20-year-old daughter crisscrossed New York State by her side. Now, at 27, Ms. Clinton is still clapping and beaming on her parents’ behalf, accompanying them on trips (recently, to Aspen, Colo., Germany and Israel), fund-raising ( she helped bring in more than $20 million for her father’s foundation this fall) and playing a more glamorous version of her lifelong role: model daughter.

“It’s ‘The Truman Show,’ ” said Jill Kargman, a friend of Ms. Clinton, citing the movie about a character whose entire life is a reality television program.

But like Truman, who eventually breaks free, Ms. Clinton now has her own life: a hedge fund job, a serious boyfriend, a tight circle of friends and a permanent place setting on the New York party circuit.

Lately, Ms. Clinton has been able to have her celebrity and control it, too, enjoying the perks but fewer of the drawbacks she used to suffer, like jokes about her looks and tabloid speculation about a canceled wedding or secret honeymoon. She retains a publicist, but mainly to fend off publicity; she and her parents turned down interview requests for this article, as they have for countless others on the subject.

Here is our press corps, once again, being smutty and sleezy. Honestly, I don't know why there was any need for a profile of Chelsea. But if there is going to be one, what the Hell is Monica Lewinski doing in it? Oh and the jokes about her looks. Could this writer be a bigger hater?

This is smut. This is pure, evil, dripping smut. I don't care what you think of Hillary as a Senator or a Presidential candidate. This isn't about her. This is about our discourse. The Stanley Cup would be played in the seventh circle of Hell before the likes of Jodi Kantor would tell you about health care or any other issue that mattered. It is much more fun to regail us with tales of Chelsea the ugly duckling and Monica the horrid slut.

Ms. Kantor and her cadre of lying liars couldn't care less about the 3500+ dead in Iraq, the 45+ million without insurance, the children that Bush would allow to die without health care, the millions of dead Iraqi's, the trillions of national debt, or any of the other calamities that Bush has brought. They are why we are in this mess. They made up smutty tales about Gore. They let Bush lie to our faces because it wasn't as much fun as telling us smutty tales.

Remember the name Jodi Kantor. She will bring us smut. Today it is Hillary. Tomorrow it will be some other Democrat. Unless and until we tell them we won't take it anymore. Tell them to clean up their sewer. It is stinking up our house.

2. Since when do National Enquirer pieces...

get printed in the New York Times? Oh yeah, all the time.

I had an argument with a fundie at work today. He said that Hilary's cleavage was inappropriate on the floor of the senate. I said "Get a life."

3. It is simply astounding.

4. The Clintons have a daughter to be proud of

Unlike another pResident. Can we kindly give Chelsea's appearance a miss? So what if she doesn't look like a supermodel: she's a lovely, poised young woman. My son has had a crush on her since they were both thirteen (the kid has good taste).

5. Well, the scary part is that "Jodi" and her ilk

haven't even warmed up yet. This is NOTHING compared to what they will indulge in if/when Hillary actually gets the nomination. They do want her to be nominated, so they are toning it down now.

6. Could we all possibly steer dear Jodi to some real SMUT. Look to the twins, Jodi,

LOOK TO THE TWINS. If you want to report smut, jodi, we will help you find it!
