[BootinUp]

7. lol. Good one!

[Marr]

59. Yuck... really?

Should we just forge the crown now?

[joshcryer]

[nolabear]

10. Welcome to the world, Little One.

I hope the journey is grand. (And that's quite the gramma you've got there.)

[BlueMTexpat]

11. Congratulations, Chelsea!

[calimary]

12. Awwww... Happy baby! Happy Mom & Dad!

Happy Grandma & Grandpa!

John Derbyshire will be most unhappy today! To which I say - GOOD! Let's PARTY!!!

http://www.johnderbyshire.com/Opinions/USPolitics/chelsea1.html

Years ago, he wrote a column in the National Review, advocating the murder of Chelsea Clinton - simply because she WAS a Clinton and he argued that the Clinton lineage should be wiped off the face of the earth. He stunk up the joint so bad by doing that - that the National Review fired him.

Too vile and odiferous even for the National Review! That's really saying something!

[Ellen Forradalom]

35. The National Review came out strongly against Trump

They have their limits.

[ReRe]

36. Sometimes, when I see her pretty face...

... I think of what Rushbo said about her when she was little. He's been eating crow over that one for a long time. "Asshole problem", himself. I bet he's never had any mirrors around his house.

[Joe Bacon]

39. F Rush!

He is the Mr. Creosote of the GOP!

[ReRe]

42. I concur...

... him and FAUX Noise

[nxylas]

58. I thought they fired him after he "came out' as a white supremacist?

Not that the National Review has a problem with white supremacists per se, but they like them to hide behind code words, dog whistles and phony outrage that anyone would dare call them a racist. Actually coming right out and saying it is going too far, even for them.

[Hekate]

13. Congratulations Chelsea and Marc, and welcome little Aidan!

[Surya Gayatri]

14. Congratulations!

[chapdrum]

15. And when Aidan's older,

he too can join his mother and his grandparents by giving speeches at events sponsored by the Peter G. Peterson (former Reagan Sec. of Commerce hack) Foundation, which amongst its many noble goals, promotes the privatization of Social Security.
The same day I learned this was also the day that Chelsea and Marc bought a condo in Manhattan's Flatiron Building, for a cool $8 mil.

One political dynasty isn't enough; we need two.

[PatSeg]

17. You can't just say "Congratulations"?

We are talking about a baby here. Does everything have to be politicized?

[Raine1967]

25. Is this really needed?

sheesh.

[TeamPooka]

29. Thanks for letting me know to put you on ignore.

[cwydro]

31. It must be difficult to live with so much bitterness in your heart.

Smh.

[ReRe]

40. I hate Pete Peterson...

... and am not fond of the Clinton Foundation, but I would never have thought to connect him to this newborn baby boy. Seriously, contain your hate for half a minute, will you?

[rury]

44. I'm with you. I LOVE your post!!

Eom

[Gabi Hayes]

46. amen. you can imagine the wingnut replies to her tweet; probably some

that make the mild negative response here look immeasurably tame

it's difficult to enumerate all the very bad moves by WJC, but can we start with the 96 Telecommunications Act?

eight mil for a crib?

maybe more?

Chelsea Clinton's new $10million pad is New York's longest apartment - stretching an entire block from 26th Street to 27th Street off Madison Avenue.

Described as 'a luxury fortress' with one full-time doorman to the horizontal building's four units, it takes almost 30 seconds to walk the 250-foot hallway, according to New York Daily News.

The former First Daughter, 33, bought the four-bedroom, 5,000-square-foot apartment with her husband Marc Mezvinsky, 35, after putting their nearby $4million pad on the market earlier this year.

do they have a special room for all the cake they'll be eating? so egalitarian-sounding

[chapdrum]

85. Thank you rury.

[riversedge]

52. Oh grow Up!1

[MFM008]

56. Really?

Congrats Chelsea and Marc
Hillary and Bill

[leftofcool]

61. tick tock!

[chapdrum]

86. So "left" of you.

You'll enjoy the comforting bubble that keeps out inconvenient truths about the Clintons.

More war, more veterans returning with PTSD, more speeches to Goldman Sh*ts, more promotion of the TPP and fracking.

Live it up.

[LanternWaste]

107. More or less "left" than assigning political motivations to a mere infant?

More or less "left" than assigning political motivations to a mere infant? Live it up, part II

(insert creative rationalization below to better justify holding others to a higher standard than you hold yourself to)

[JoePhilly]

66. There there ... get it all out.

[Zynx]

72. ......What the fuck?

[George II]

92. It just never ends, does it?

[wysi]

99. clock is ticking

Only a few more hours left!

[bluestateguy]

102. Wow

You are a really bitter person who hates life, aren't you?

[stevenleser]

104. LOL

Tick tock!

[Equinox Moon]

16. Blessings & Congrats

Aidan, good Irish name.

May Aidan grow up to be a strong progressive!

Plus, good timing for Hillary and Bill to be able to be a part of it for a while, before things get really busy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Congratulations to the entire family!

[sheshe2]

19. Congrats~

Happy Birthday Aidan!

[Her Sister]

20. Happy News! woohoo!

My congrats to the whole family! Mother, Father, Big sister, all the Grandparents, etc...

[NastyRiffraff]

21. Congrats to the family!

Chelsea, Marc, Hillary, Bill, Charlotte and of course little Aidan. (I love his name!)

[BootinUp]

22. Its a common Irish name, isn't it?

[NastyRiffraff]

24. It is indeed

I'm not Irish, but I love the name.

[Walk away]

23. Wonderful news!!!! Now that's a Dynasty!!!

[chillfactor]

26. Congratulations!

What a wonderful family!

[Tarheel_Dem]

27. Congrats to the Mezvinskys!

[Hortensis]

33. Lovely news, BootinUp. Congrats to all the

happy grandparents today too.

[wallyworld2]

34. another

member of the lucky sperm club is born

[davidn3600]

37. Since we seem to love the idea of treating political families like royalty now

Should we call him a prince?

[JI7]

38. congrats on a baby is treating like royalty ?

[davidn3600]

47. It can be

The baby is being born into a family of power and wealth. Both his grandparents are in the White House. And his father is a major hedge fund manager on Wall Street. His birth is being retweeted countless times all over the world. The media follows these families like they do the Kardashians.

And just because of his name, he could run for Congress in 30 years and easily win.

This boy hit the jackpot.

[Marr]

96. Glance up-thread. There are already several posts from Clinton fans assuming this baby will

join the political elite and even become President.

This is getting sick.

[JI7]

97. i don't see any

[stevenleser]

105. Oh there were one or two jokes along those lines. Anyone taking them seriously needs

to take up Yoga or something.

[JoePhilly]

67. Some one has a sad!

[Kingofalldems]

78. Wow. Reads like something Rush Limbaugh would write.

[moriah]

83. I am about ready to skip DU until the 20th, but for all I know it's going to move again.

I am sickened at the posts, but don't want to alert even on something as trashy as this one because free speech and not being a sore winner and feeling like as a Hillary supporter I could have argued easily to unite behind Bernie but it's not going to come out right from me....

Still, I expected more class from someone who had been here as long as you have, than to attack a baby for being born to the parents they were. Chelsea might be fair game now, but leave the grandkids alone. Geez.

[LanternWaste]

108. I'd suggest simply using the child's name-- regardless that it would ruin your narrative.

I'd suggest simply using the child's name-- regardless that it would ruin your narrative and unsupported premise.

[ReRe]

41. Congratulations to the Mezvinsky family...

... upon the birth of their first baby boy!

... may he get lots of kisses

... and lots of hugs

... and grow up to be a strong boy!

[panader0]

43. Congratulations--a very fortunate son.

[MyNameGoesHere]

48. #bernout eom

[panader0]

49. Not a CCR fan eh?

[MyNameGoesHere]

50. Not a fan of someone that doesnt

know where the commode us.

[JoePhilly]

68. I was born into a poor family.

My son was not.

Did either he or I chose that birth?

[mrr303am]

80. Very appropriate song.

[riversedge]

51. Peace to the family.

[smirkymonkey]

53. Congratulations Chelsea and family!

I love the name Aidan. Do the Clintons have Irish heritage?

[BootinUp]

54. Bill's father was of English and Scots heritage

not sure about his mother.

Hillary's father was Welsh and English.

[pnwmom]

89. This list includes Bill Clinton as being of Irish descent, also.

[mcar]

55. What a lovely Father's Day gift!

Health and happiness to the family.

[msanthrope]

57. Congratulations! nt

[Cha]

60. Cool! Mahalo, Boot~ Congrats to new parents & grandparents!

[OldRedneck]

62. Let's see if I understand this.

Chelsea Clinton got married, waited a couple of years, THEN got pregnant.

Why didn't she get herself knocked up at 17, drop out of high school; have the baby; go on Dancing With the Stars; try her own reality TV show; get knocked up again; get engaged; break the engagement . . . .

Chelsea must be some special kind of stupid.

[Ilsa]

63. Well, at least she's not trying to tell everyone else how to be "a good Christian girl."

Bristol Failin' can all the babies out of wedlock she wants. But she has no business giving abstinence pep talks to teens, or pretending she's morally superior to anyone.

[leftofcool]

94. Good one!

[Ilsa]

64. congratulations to the parents.

I'm glad their daughter has a sibling.

[JoePhilly]

69. Crazy idea ... the Parents get to decide.

Oh ... you think that the woman takes the man's name, and then the kids must as well.

Trump would approve.

[BootinUp]

71. You are the one trying to tell them what to do.

That seems dictatorial to me.

[BootinUp]

74. Glad you don't care. Most people would agree probably. nt

[uppityperson]

79. Having the mother's maiden name as a middle name is not uncommon

[radical noodle]

81. Even my grandmother had her mother's maiden name

as her middle name. My husband's sister gave her maiden name as a middle name to one of her sons.

[Geronimoe]

76. Long live

Prince Marc

[radical noodle]

82. Congratulations!

A beautiful little family. May he grow up to be a good and kind man.

[MisterFred]

84. O-M-G. Did Prince William tweet a response? *faint* nt

[Ino]

87. Made sure he had the Clinton name to mark his heritage.

[pnwmom]

88. Thanks for the sexist comment.

FYI, Chelsea is a Clinton. Many women want to include their last name in their child's name, not just their husband's.

[pnwmom]

90. Congratulations to Chelsea, Marc, and Charlotte!

[RoccoR5955]

93. The next generation

of the Clintons has arrived. Two more presidents of the future.
YUCCH!

[blackspade]

95. Congratulations

But the political and social fawning over our oligarch families is grotesque.

[Bucky]

98. I'm eager to see what the conspiracy nuts do with this one

[wysi]

100. Just look upthread

They are all over the place. Getting their last licks in.

[BlackLivesMatter]

101. Princess Chelsea bore a prince?

Awesome!!!
