You obviously haven't seen the US news shows gushing over "The
closest we come to American Royalty" (and you though the British had a
low threshold for Royalty) and a couple have actually called this the
equivalent of Charles and Diana (with your comment above, I am assuming
that Chelsea in this case is playing the part of Charles- grin).


I only look at Web pages, but at least on the Web, CNN, USA Today, and Fox
News don't seem to be saying much, which is just as well.

Chelsea Clinton is proof that, if you're famous, many people will
automatically call you beautiful, no matter what you actually look like. I'm
not sure where she got the ugly genes from, but even at 2000 feet AGL she'd
crack a lens.

Besides it isn't about Chelsea, it is about Bill and Hill. THAT,
along with the likely guest list, would bring the paparazzi out in
force.


Times must be hard for paparazzi these days. How much does a photo of Hilary
bring?

Anyway, it's really hard to see why a TFR is required. Chelsea is not part of
the government. Neither is Bill. And Hilary is only in a minor Cabinet post.
If every Cabinet member needs a TFR whenever she attends a party ...

Wikipedia: "The Secretary is a member of the Cabinet and the
highest-ranking cabinet secretary both in line of succession and order
of precedence. "

Hardly a minor post....

Hardly a major one. Not enough to justify bringing traffic to a halt overhead
for a garden party.

However, if keeping a few photographers away from Hilary's social gatherings
is more important to you than the freedom to fly where you wish, that's your
prerogative. Don't cry when that freedom is gone, though.

Hardly a major one.


In your mind, what are the major cabinet posts other than Secretary of
State?

I am not at all sure why you are making that statement as it has absolutely
no relevance to the thread which you started.

There are no major Cabinet posts.

In fact, only the loss of the President really has much of an effect on
continuity of government, and even then, the country does not collapse into
chaos. The importance of individual government officials is sometimes
dramatically exaggerated (especially for the President).

In any case, there's no reason here to establish a TFR. Nobody is conspiring
to photograph Hilary from the air, given that she's easy to photograph under
so many other conditions (and given that there is so little demand for
photographs of her). And besides, taking pictures doesn't hurt anyone. If the
party participants want privacy, they can go indoors.

The resto of the world seems to disagree with you; what a surprise.

Point totally missed as usual as you wander off to things totally unrelated.

Pretty major cabinet post. And now there is speculation that Hillary
and Biden could switch jobs or that Hillary might even run against
Obama.

Well, she did once before--and would hardly be the first perenial candidate.

No, but usually they aren't in the cabinet of the person they run
against.
