# On November 6, 1992, three days after her father won the elections, when Chelsea was still in braces, Rush Limbaugh said the following: "Everyone knows the Clintons have a cat; Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?" He then pointed to a video monitor, which switched to a picture of Chelsea. Although Limbaugh has claimed that it was a technical error, as Al Franken documented in his book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, since the show was on a tape delay, if it truly was a technical error, it could have been corrected prior to airing of the show.
# Senator John McCain circulated a joke that Chelsea was "so ugly" because her "real father" was Janet Reno, for which he later apologized personally to the President.
# In 1997 Stanford University senior Jesse Oxfeld was fired for writing an article about Chelsea for The Stanford Daily, after the paper stated a policy of not writing about the new freshman unless she did something newsworthy.
# In 1998 the New York Post ran a story about Chelsea breaking up with her boyfriend of the time and seeking treatment for stress. The White House objected to this level of attention. The Post later apologized.
# In 2001, as Clinton was leaving office, The National Review contributing editor John Derbyshire authored a column specifically attacking Chelsea, in which he wrote "I hate Chelsea Clinton", and " Chelsea is a Clinton. She bears the taint"
