Just bringing up
the subject of biological fathers (as opposed to those whose names appear on
birth certificates) is repugnant. Leave it to an orange cat to dive in.
Because her
mother is a candidate for the presidency, Chelsea Clinton is back in the news,
and not just for drawing a $600,000-a-year salary from NBC for doing
practically nothing. (That gig ended in 2014.) Also back, mostly at right-wing
news sources that despise the Clintons, is speculation that Bill isn’t her
biological father. Truth be told, at age 35 she looks a lot like Webster
Hubbell, Hillary’s former law partner who went on to become an associate
attorney general.
This story was
ratcheted up a level when a new book by Roger Stone and Robert Morrow flatly
labeled the speculation as fact. According to WND website, when Mr. Morrow
asked Chelsea about it as she signed her children’s book in a bookstore, she
replied: “I’m so proud to be my parents’ daughter.”
Give her points
for a great choice of words and the grace not to tell a fellow author to piss
off. Chelsea’s campaign appearances will be curtailed this summer as she makes
Hillary a grandmother for the second time. (This part we can be sure of.)
Elsewhere in the
liberal parallel universe, former MSNBC host Ronan Farrow doesn’t look at all
like his legal father, Woody Allen. His mother, Mia Farrow, has admitted that
he might “possibly” have been fathered by her ex-husband, Frank Sinatra.
At 28, Mr. Farrow
is looking more like his Italian dad every day. Mr. Sinatra is long dead, there
has been no DNA testing and none of the other parties seem to care. Good for
them. As Mr. Farrow tweeted in 2013: Listen, we’re all “possibly” Frank Sinatra’s
son.
