The Chelsea Clinton parallel is completely empty. The "leave Chelsea alone" thing came about in part from Rush Limbaugh calling her "The Whitehouse dog." She wasn't breaking any laws. She was being viciously torn apart by the conservative press for no other reason than their hatred of the Clintons.

In contrast, Jenna Bush was breaking the law, and, further, involved in an alcohol-related crime. Coming from a family infamous for its substance-abuse problems, that is noteworthy in and of itself. It would be like Ted Kennedy's daughter driving drunk. Hardly comparable to the "crime" Chelsea Clinton committed: that of being born to parents despised by the Righteous Right.

To compare the press's treatment of the Chelsea to the press's treatment of Jenna is quite disingenuous if not downright absurd.
