I Hate MySelf For Loving You: Chelsea Clinton

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Well, it's really "I Love Myself For Loving You: Chelsea Clinton." Just in case she reads this one day when we're going out.

Chelsea Clinton is really hot in person. I was at a party once and saw a dolled-up redhead in a slinky green dress, shuffling through the crowd with a decorated Marine on her arm. At the time, I was partly distracted by conversation with a very hot, spiky-haired Iraq war vet who was telling me about her taking a tank out for a spin and blasting some death metal into the Bagdad streets, just for laughs. She looked exactly like a girl I fell in love with in New Orleans on her last night before reporting for duty with the Army, and who I never heard from again after she went to Afghanistan.

The redhead came over to us and said a polite hello. When I realized it was Chelsea, my eyes nearly popped out of my head. And not because she's famous-- although that must have been what she she thought my reaction was due to-- but because she had changed so much... and for the better.

It also helps that I'm totally her type:


I should superimpose my face over his, like that candidate did in Texas. Then she'd see, then she'd see.... Okay, I'll stop now.

Remember how she was all awkward and weird-looking when her dad was first elected?

The wise pubescent boy is the one who makes friends with the dorky and fat girls in his class.  They're the ones who'll be hot when they grow up.
