As if Joe Biden succoring his son with Ukrainian oligarch cash weren't enough nepotism for the princeling political class, here come the big leaguers in that game, the Clintons.
According to the New York Post:
The retirement of longtime New York Rep. Nita Lowey could open the door for a political newcomer with big political name — Chelsea Clinton.
“Is Chelsea Clinton going to make her move?” one New York Democrat asked shortly after learning of Lowey’s retirement.
Page Six first reported in 2016 that the former first daughter was being groomed for the 17th district seat. The district includes Rockland County and portions of Westchester, including the Chappaqua home of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
“Chelsea would be the next extension of the Clinton brand,” a source said at the time.
Ugh.
Rather than have Chelsea prove her chops at a minimum in a contested district, Democrats have wheeled out an easy one for her, a safe, solid blue district with no major exertion needed to win, as if to ensure that there is always a Clinton somewhere in power.
Funny how that coincides with Chels also signing her name to the claptrap book about 'gutsy women' her mom Hillary Clinton was shilling as her possible new presidential campaign entry, which is just the thing for getting press coverage before announcing a candidacy.
It's like the whole thing was planned all along.
And it's an amazingly bad idea. For all Chelsea's fantastic collection of academic honors or $100,000 a year consulting jobs, has the presidential daughter ever said so much as one thing that suggests any scintilla of talent or creativity? She's exists as a reminder that the ivy league system is probably to at least a certain extent, rigged.
So is the New York City and northward district ready to help perpetrate a Clinton dynasty by handing the pampered princess this easy seat? It will be if these people vote for her. It's possible they won't - this time it seems there is some primary competition which might have been what prompted Lowey to throw in the towel. But it won't be a good thing for the Democrats to entrench an elite, built on scions of past lions, in place of the current dinosaurs who, like Lowey, are getting ready to retire.

Take a look a Nita Lowey and Hillary Clinton. The reason Lowey decided not to run for the Senate in 2000 failed the smell test:
Lowey strongly considered running for the United States Senate in 2000, but stepped aside when First Lady of the United States Hillary Rodham Clinton announced her candidacy. Lowey was considered a top contender for appointment to Clinton's Senate seat after Clinton was nominated to be Secretary of State, but in a December 1, 2008 phone interview with the Associated Press, she stated that she isn't interested in giving up her senior seat on the House Appropriations Committee.

After Lowey handed Clinton the Senate seat in 2000, the “tough NY press corps” was not taking any chance that an empty suit, Rick Lazio, would pull-off an upset; so the “tough NY press corps” insured Hillary’s victory by asking powderpuff questions while she was tiptoeing around the state on her infamous listening tour:
The committee has been in operation for almost a week, but now she can officially start the exploring, which she will do today, when she begins a summerlong "listening tour" with a four-day jaunt through Upstate New York.
The tour opens at the farm of retiring Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.), the intellectual heavyweight she hopes to replace, and continues with an education round table at the State University of New York at Oneonta. Thursday she will start early with another "listening event" in Cooperstown -- this time about health care, a topic with which she has some familiarity.

"Hillary Clinton is eager to begin this tour and looks forward to listening to New Yorkers across the state," Wolfson said.

New York's 17[SUP]th[/SUP] congressional district

NOTE: Agent 006 & 7/8[SUP]ths[/SUP] reports that Chelsea Clinton is starting small. Her planned listening tour will not take her beyond the boundaries of New York’s 17[SUP]th[/SUP] congressional district.
In 2006, Hillary had a cinch in the person of Kirsten Gillibrand who dived in the tank faster than a Cormorant dives for a fish. Gillibrand got the Senate seat as a payoff when Hillary resigned to become secretary of state. (Gillillbrand went on to win a special election in 2010 against a Republican cadaver.)
In 2008, Hillary could not beat a community organizer right out of the Chicago sewer system.
Now jump to 2011:
NY-18 Rep. Nita Lowey's office says it's not true she's leaving the office she won in 1988 to pave the way for a Chelsea Clinton bid for Congress.

Lowey "stepped aside for Hillary once. She ain't going to do it for the kid," said one skeptical Dem.

Update 3: Our Glenn Blain spoke with Westchester Democratic Chairman Reginald LaFayette, who said he’s heard no talk of Clinton running for Congress. LaFayette fully expects Lowey to run for re-election next year.

Team Lowey Squashes Chelsea Clinton Story (Updated x 4: Now With More Squashing)

Time marches on. Nita Lowey is retiring next year. QUESTION: Is Lowey stepping aside for the kid? ANSWER: My best guess is that a little money changed hands in order to provide Lowey with a few creature comforts in her retirement years.
An article by Keith Riler An Aristocracy of Incompetence could have been written for the Clintons today. In every field of human endeavor —— except politics —— competence is easily measured. A worthwhile competent businessman or a talented artist may, or may not, pass skill on to an offspring. Naturally, an individual may very well be the first in his or her family to have real talent. More often than not talent and competence ends with the original.
In politics, incompetence passes for governing skill because the test of time is the only measuring tool. Unfortunately for media darlings, incompetence is obvious right from the start. Happily, history punishes incompetent those ‘leaders’ despite media efforts to canonize them by forgetting them, or worse still by telling the truth.
Bill Clinton, more than any other president in recent years, is living proof that presidents are wasting their time when they are driven to acquire the kind of fame that ends up being taught to school children for centuries à la Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, and so many more. I cannot put America’s Founding Fathers at the top of every list of historical men who had competent governing skills in abundance because the Department of Education is erasing them from public school curricula. I should say replacing the Founders with filthy Democrats like the Clintons, Obama, and Joe Biden etc.
A slew of Socialists/Communists who acquire political fame while they are alive are forgotten more quickly than every other kind of political animal. Joe Stalin is a Communist that Russians cannot forget fast enough. In time, even Lenin will only be remembered because of his tomb; much like Ulysses S. Grant. Lenin might make a comeback if a Russian Groucho Marx asks “Who is buried in Lenin’s tomb?”
NOTE: Karl Marx is still hanging in there as a Communist like a dead pope, but not remembered as a politician.
In order to claim competence a live politician need only preach one of the following: We’s all God’s Chillun, the common good, feed the poor, cure the sick, educate the illiterate who remain stupid after they can read and write, and so on.
Moralizing is an incompetent politician’s substitute for competence. Media support is the one sure thing an incompetent politician can hand down to an offspring.
Former co-president, Hillary Clinton, had even less governing competence than Bill. Neither of the two ever had a political thought that was good for individual liberties. They only think government control and whatever strengthens government’s grip on free people.
Chelsea running for Nita Lowey’s seat convinces me that Mrs. Clinton is laying the groundwork for establishing a matriarchate rather than going for traditional, male-dominated, dynasties like the Kennedys, the Longs in Louisiana, the Rockefeller clan who combined a private fortune with a political dynasty, et al. At first glance Mrs. Clinton only has one daughter to work with. A closer look includes her Feminazi sisters.
Experience
Presidential candidates are supposed to have governing experience. The MSM makes a big deal out of lack of governing experience when the candidate is not one their favorites. Obviously, experience is not required for the House or Senate.
When Hillary Clinton ran for the Senate in 200 her experience consisted of marrying Bubba, being a crooked lawyer in Arkansas, being first lady, and being in charge of bimbo eruptions. When she ran for the Democrat party nomination in 2008 her Senate experience was a joke at best. Hussein had even less experience than Clinton. Did her Senate record put a dent in Hussein’s short tenure in the Senate? Answer: Both did nothing of value for the country, but Clinton took eight years to do it.
Do not look for the “tough New York press corps” to be any more critical of Chelsea than they were of Hillary in 2000 and 2006.
Everything Keith Riler said will hold true should the Clintons get their matriarchy up and running with Chelsea:

Finally, the Clinton Crime Dynasty is the closest thing to the Kennedy Dynasty you can find with one notable caveat. Ted Kennedy would have been put in jail if he openly committed the crimes the Clintons commit with impunity.
There is another piece of evidence to support monarchy’s rebirth. The reports of how elected officials are routing big bucks to their kinfolk by going through lobbying firms, passing legislation favorable to themselves, influence peddling, and so on, amounts to an American variation of ancient nepotism.
Totalitarian Communist countries and monarchies have much in common, not the least of which is fierce nepotism. Nepotism at the state and local levels is not new. Previously nepotism meant soft-touch government jobs for relatives. Today, nepotism amounts to millions of tax dollars directed to worthless family members.

It is no mystery why the late Senator Ted Kennedy liked big government? Uncle Teddy never had to face a flock of chronically unemployed relatives hitting him up for a double-sawbuck every now and then.
NOTE: When John F. Kennedy, Jr. died in a plane crash in 1999 it was reported that there were over 80 Kennedys in “public service.” The end of famous Kennedys might be in sight, but nepotism guarantees that the American people will be supporting the Kennedy family for generations to come.
Now that nepotism is running rampant in the federal government, America’s early promise of a fair government is further diminished.
Interestingly, monarchies codify nepotism. The concept of civil service was a solution to the evils of nepotism. Contemporary nepotism not only sterilizes the procedure for becoming a civil servant, civil service itself was turned into a joke every time anyone claims they are going into government because they want to give something back. Many immigrants dive into the public trough as soon as they get here; so I have to ask exactly what they give back? From the things I heard educated immigrant parasites say on the talkies over the years, I would just as soon they not give anything back.
