••• “Chelsea Clinton to headline fundraiser at SoulCycle in Tribeca” on Jan. 27, and Twitter is very upset. But how is this different from, say, George P. Bush hosting a fundraiser for his father at a country club? (Also, isn’t SoulCycle Tribeca Bush Daughter territory?) —Politico

It’s different from the standpoint that the fundraiser George P Bush held for his father at a country club did not impact the citizens of Tribeca. And as far as I know “Soul Cycle Tribeca Bush Daughter” has not forced street closures inconveniencing those that have to walk through that area after picking up their children after school. Politicians do what is good for them and not the citizens they supposedly represent.
But the (hypothetical) Bush fundraiser presumably impacted the members of the country club and people in the area, so it’s not different at all. I honestly don’t see how objection to this is anything but anti-Clintonism or sexism. As for the hypothetical after-school street closures, they hardly seem like something that’d ruin your day.
How much worse could this upcoming political event be for Tribeca than this past one below?

Obviously, my irritation with the Obama event is due to, based on Erik’s expert analysis, is being a racist as well as a sexist. Hopefully, we can have more events like this to comment on to reveal more character flaws.
Clearly just a publicity stunt ahead of Soul Cycles ridiculous IPO. The greatest short of all time…..
all the controversy/her parents…everyone with an opinion…
*I* protest because I had the displeasure of sitting at a table with Chelsea’s husband, who was a total King D-Bag…
@andy I too had the (dis)pleasure of sitting at a table with son-in-law Mark at a charity event and he is quite the d-bag! He woke up on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple…..a real putz!
