Is Chelsea Clinton fair game?
It has become a college sport to ask Chelsea Clinton, when she is campaigning for her mother at college campuses, about her father's affair with Monica Lewinsky.
She has been asked three times in the past two weeks. Each time, she gives a different but non-committal answer.
"I think that is something that is personal to my family. I'm sure there are things that are personal to your family that you don't think are anyone else's business, either," she said during a visit to North Carolina State University in Raleigh last week. "But also on a larger point, I don't think you should vote for or against my mother because of my father."
I kind of liked that answer. It was better than the "none of your business" answer she gave the first time at Butler University in Indianapolis.
How do you think Chelsea should answer these questions? Do you think they're out-of-line?

Tastelessness abounds everywhere. It was tasteless of her father to get himself into that situation, it was tasteless of Monica to out herself there, and it is tasteless for the press to ask Chelsea about it. I am impressed with her grace in answering though, I did not expect that from a Clinton.
