Did anyone catch today’s New York Times lovefest fluff-piece about Chelsea Clinton? There’s nothing she can’t do, from working in finance to reading “Goodnight Moon” at a college level to dating Jews. And as any truly well-fluffed piece will tell you, merit carries the day throughout Ms. Clinton’s orgy of success.
For instance, how did Chelsea deal with 9/11? In a bold, career-defining moment, Chelsea shuns the materialistic ambitions of her post-collegiate peers and decides to devote herself to good works. From the Times:
Ms. Clinton shared her answer in an earnest essay a few months later in Talk magazine: “For most young Americans I know, ‘serving’ in the broadest sense now seems like the only thing to do,” she wrote. “Is banking what’s important right now?” Her words are reminiscent of the young Hillary Clinton, who, as the campaign frequently reminds voters, chose children’s advocacy over corporate work after law school.
Chelsea’s true desire to “serve” and shun banking led her straight into a career in finance when she got back from Oxford. Nothing fulfills that desire to serve more than firing a few people from a struggling company in a management consultant role. More from the Times:
after Oxford, Chelsea Clinton signed up with McKinsey, a consulting company known as an elite business training corps. She was the youngest in her class, hired at the same rank as those with M.B.A. degrees. Her interview was more like a conversation, said D. Ronald Daniel, a senior partner. “That’s why she was a good consultant, because we are professional question-askers and professional listeners,” Mr. Daniel said.
Let me get this straight fluff-piece, Chelsea Clinton’s rare and unique business acumen resulted in her catapulting the entire McKinsey class?
Word on the Street (and from a couple tipsters) is that Chelsea was job shopping and resume padding like any other post-grad. McKinsey wanted a Clinton so badly that they were willing to give her a post-M.B.A. job. Other consulting firms laughed at the idea, even though word has it that Chelsea tried to play some hardball.
Chelsea was interviewing with BCG and a couple other places only prepared to throw her in with people of the same skill level who didn’t live in the White House. Apparently consultants at other firms didn’t have the right “conversations” with her, namely the ones deferred to her parents. The nerve.
Like her father, Chelsea is as drawn to integrity and character in her personal life as her professional life. This is why her boyfriend, Marc Mezvinsky is that rare combination of a Jew working at Goldman Sachs and the son of criminals. Mezvinsky’s father pleaded guilty in 2002 to swindling a bunch of investors out of $10 million, using his son’s bank account to transfer money undetected and often bragging about his Clinton connection. Papa M gets out of jail in November 2008.

lol consultants..
those guys are great
Ugh… That graphic was uncalled for.
yes, it’s like the girl got the worst possible aesthetic genes from the parents. and Hilary isn’t all that bad.
nice cross to wear when dating a jooo
“This is why her boyfriend, Marc Mezvinsky is that rare combination of a Jew working at Goldman Sachs and the son of criminals.”
I just peed my pants a little. Hilarious.
when’s the NYT going bankrupt?
My god – it’s hideous!
Can we maybe replace that graphic with one of her in braces from Beavis & Butthead Do America?
I don’t give a rats ass about politics but that bitch is fugly. I’ve seen her in person in Union Square and her faces makes me wince in pain.
What a sleazeball bitch! Just like her parents. And she’s dating a Jew-boy banker with a criminal dad? She’ll fit in just fine. This is as disgusting as it is hilarious.
Don’t be too hard on her folks. With a face like that, the only guys who’ll date her are jews and negroes.
So I know someone who was at McKinsey during Chelsea’s tenure, and the word is that during meetings (you know, the kind where associates bust their asses on the presentation and then are expected the shut the hell up), after the CEO would make his/her comments, some senior guy would turn to Chelsea and say, “And now Chelsea, what do you think?” Every. single. time.
Chelsea Clinton’s response as KH would have it: “Yes, I know that you are offering to hire me for a post-MBA associate role, but frankly, the rest of my age group is at the analyst level and I think that’s where I belong. Yes, for half the salary please.” How many DB readers would do the same? I hope KH will do the same in his next review.
Put up side by side, Chelsers would make Barbra Streisand look desirably fuckable. I’d need half as much tequila to put a leg over Babs as I would to steel myself for the act with Ms C.
No one’s faulting Chelsea’s decision… aside from herself and her ideas of “where we should be looking right now.”
…but the Times pointing out that Chelsea was the youngest member of her class without a hint of subtext and trying to pull the merit card with supporting quotes from her superiors is a bit much.
It’s like the interstitial parts of the fluff-piece were already written and the actual details had to be filled out like Mad-Libs, which is why they’re all so hilarious or contradictory.
Anon 3:21, the comment about Jews and negroes was almost verbatim the same thing i said about BSD’s mom just last night. But i added “blind and lacking all olfactory senses” to it, because on top of her hideousness, her hatchet wound smells like 3 day old roadkill. Probably where she got her nickname, “Roadkill Beaver”.
chelsea is a whore who got a job she didn’t deserve and the NYT can blow me just like the do slick willy.

she’s got some big balls demanding she start as an associate after her extensive undergrad experience of doing nothing. perhaps a little TOO big.
KH – I see your point now. Thanks for the follow up. The interview is very funny from a mad-libs perspective. Keep on rocking.
I don’t see how anyone could expect her NOT to get special treatment.
That is hilarious but i’m not sure i believe the part about them asking her for her opinion all the time
So, the way McK handled hiring at the time is that anyone with a Rhodes or Marshall scholarship comes in as a post-MBA. BCG has avoided this practice. Chelsea’s McK offer was for a post-MBA job since she did a year in England, but her BCG offer was for an Associate job. She picked the one with the 2x higher comp.
SO … this chick is now a distressed debt analyst at Avenue Capital, is this what we are to understand?
I mean, she sounds smart and all, hopefully she is smart enough to take advantage of her position and not just get paid to be on board
I can assure you it’s true
I can assure you it’s true
Chelsea is really admirable, and her post-9/11 service to the country is an example to all young people. John Kennedy, George HW Bush, Bob Dole and John Kerry all served their country in time of war, and were wounded. Chelsea chose a similar path, at McKinsey, pushing paper around in a job for which she isn’t qualified. She should get a purple heart for all those papercuts.

did she serve her country or did she service (someone) at McKinsey, that is the question.
seriously though of course she’s gonna get special treatment, and so would any presidential offspring with at least 1/8th of a brain
That picture reminds me of a time I picked up a girl outside of a bar name woody’s in philly. We started making out and i put my hand between he legs to find out she had a penis tucked between her/his legs. After rubbing our units against each other for an hour i threw the tranny head first into a fire hydrant. Go to see that he has recovered and got a solid job.

I think WWKD is transgender
well shit, they made W president and he may not even have a whole 1/8th to work with. nepotism is the american way.
If focusing on the whole Clinton/finance correlation, why not run a piece about how Hilary made six figures in the pork bellies market despite not knowing the location of the exchange.
disgusting but nobody should be surprised
McKinsey hiring a name for bogus credibility? Yawn. Just don’t slag bf Mark. He’s a good guy. Covered me for a few years and never dropped a name. Way better than most of the monkeys in sales, which is probably why he’s trading prop now.
Chelsea needs to intern under Amy Carter, focusing on lay-low and STFU strategies.
Haha he went from sales to trading prop? Whew what a firm!
Bah. As you say, it ain’t the special treatment – I’d treat myself to some if it were in the cards – but the pathetic attempts to pretend that the special treatment isn’t just that. As long as Ms. Clinton doesn’t start believing her own BS, she’ll do well. And if she does start believing it? She’ll do well.
And yes, that picture is some hard times. Girl looks like me in a spoon.
rumor has it that she tucks her penis behind between her legs and puts it in her own ass. She must be hung pretty well so at least she has that going for her. Also i heard she took a shower in piss before this picture was taken so give her a break.
You clowns are just a bunch of anti-semitic assholes. Marc is a good guy.
Clinton for president!!!
