For any copyright, please send me a message.  Chelsea Clinton is making a move.  The question is: Toward doing what, exactly? Does she even know?  It seems doubtful. As happens every couple of years, the erstwhile first daughter re-injects herself into the public eye, only to perseverate about what to do with her life.  Now, as she conducts a joint book tour with her mother — who, quixotic and stubborn and tone-deaf as ever, continues to tease a 2020 run — the duo have sat for interviews with no shortage of outlets, with Chelsea granting her lone solo profile to New York Magazine, long sympathetic to the Clinton machine.  Chelsea, the piece solemnly declares, is “trying to figure out what her own life looks like.”  In February, Chelsea Clinton will turn 40 years old. Hamlet had a less dramatic existential crisis.  Please, please, please: Can it stop? Why does the media continue not just to cover but to coronate a woman who has contributed nothing to public life, has accomplished nothing, and who, by her own admission, has never felt truly motivated to do anything?  What, really, is the story here?  New York Magazine couldn’t crack it, despite spending about 7,000 words trying. The most revealing detail is that Chelsea Clinton has a chief of staff. Not a personal assistant, not an organizer, but a chief of staff.  Lack of self-awareness is certainly one trait she shares with her mother.  Perhaps this go-round feels particularly insufferable because Chelsea and her mother continue to act as though Donald Trump won the election despite Hillary, rather than in large part because of Hillary. They expect sympathy from us, rather than the other way around. The cynical subtext of whatever they’re shilling — in this case, “The Book of Gutsy Women,” which has the heft and sizzle of a social studies text — is to re-state the case for a Clinton dynasty.  And when Chelsea deigns to speak, we are rewarded with these scintillating thoughts:  “You know, I think there is this sense, this perception now, that … you know, Is it just too hard? And yet, so many of the same people who are asking that are themselves persisting to ensure that it’s not as hard tomorrow.”  “While I don’t have any plans to run for office, I think it’s something that all of us who care about our communities and our country and our world should be thinking about.”  “I’m so proud of my daughter already asking questions and teaching her brothers. She already looks up to and understands gutsiness.”  Chelsea’s daughter is 5. If you’ve ever raised or known or spent two hours with a 5-year-old, you know how authentic that last statement is.  And that brings us to what else is specifically, particularly grating about Chelsea Clinton: There’s no there there.
