"'I grabbed her ass,' one young woman exclaimed to her friends after snapping a picture with her arm around the former first daughter."
"Chelsea Clinton stopped traffic Friday night as she wandered the streets of Philadelphia on a gay bar crawl, winning rave reviews for both her politics and her appearance.
"Led around the neighborhood by Gov. Ed Rendell, Chelsea was mobbed by local gays and lesbians, as she walked from one club to the next. They ran up to hug her, posed for pictures and certainly invaded her personal space.
“'I grabbed her ass,' one young woman exclaimed to her friends after snapping a picture with her arm around the former first daughter.
“'Chelsea, the gays love you!' one fan exclaimed, as she took the microphone at Bump, a restaurant and bar that was her first stop. 'Oh, gosh, I don’t know if everybody loves me,' she responded.
"Most of those at the bar seemed to, squeezing past one another in the cramped space to get a photo. Even some patrons, donning Obama stickers—a rally for the Illinois senator had taken place a few blocks away earlier in the evening—tried to get a snapshot as well.
"In all, she visited four bars in Center City, concluding her tour at Woody’s, the city’s most famous gay bar. Getting from one event to another proved difficult at times, as she was constantly stopped by admirers while walking down the sidewalk. She reached into car windows to shake hands and was followed by several young women who tried to pose for photos on their camera phone, but seemed incapable of properly saving the pictures."

This comes as no surprise, since we already know how much Chelsea enjoys her gay partying.

Meh. I'm still voting for Obama.
Does visiting four establishments a "gay bar crawl" make?
@BettyCrocker: Fair enough. But Chelsea rocks.
@Helman: Her hedge fund job was in my office building - she always seemed very professional. Nice to know she can suck down fruitinis with us.
@In Other News...: I think that is the number of gay bars in Philly. So yes by default.
Bye-bye to Tori Spelling's hope of becoming the next gay icon.
@BettyCrocker: i saw her one day waiting outside coffee shop at union sq ... low key, friend showed up, off they went
@BettyCrocker: me, too
however, chelsea totally smacks down the bush spawn in the offspring category
I HATE HATE HATE when one gay speaks for the rest! No Tori Spelling, Paris Hilton, etc. The gays DO NOT love you!
My stream of consciousness on arriving at the line, “Chelsea was mobbed by local gays and lesbians”: duh, chelsea is a gayborhood, it’s always mobbed ... wait, wasn’t this in philly? ... oh, chelsea, right. where am i?
... and then a handsy, bi-curious Monica Lewinsky grabbed her butt and offered her a cigar, and the universe folded in upon itself.
@In Other News...: It does if you live in Philly. That's all of them.
God-she's really working it for her mum!?
'I grabbed her ass,' one young woman exclaimed...
(Singing)
But I felt nothing,
I'm feeling nothing..."
A 9-year-old girl attempting to ask an innocent question of the Chelz gets rousted by Secret Service agents, but a gay gets to grab her ass?
Priorities.
Oh yeah. Thank God Miss Chelsea loves the gayz. Because her mother belongs to the extraordinarily and explicitly anti-gay Methodist Church and her husband signed DOMA and Don't Ask Don't Tell.
My stupid stupid fellow gayz. Hillary is not Judy Garland, girls.
@VoxPopuli: Nice!
@SayHeyJay:
"... except the feeling that this bullshit is absurd."
@oneninesevenfour: @MattGaymon: Do any of them serve those cheez whiz and steak-umm sandwiches I hear so much about? Or are they all like the bar in that Danny DeVito-produced show on FX?
And BTW, there MUST have been more to that "I grabbed her ass" quote from the young woman. Was it firm? Spongy? Like two-week-old marshmallow pillows from the Mall of America? Was it fine, like an aged (pronounced "AY-jed") cheese shat by a goat ensconced in a copse of fig trees found in the deepest reaches of Galilee? When pennies toward it are tossed, dost said pennies bounce back with such a ferocity, sonic booms are heard in wilds of Chile and frightens rebel malcontents into subservience? Was it an ass that formed the very substance of heaven? Speak, woman, SPEAK!
@In Other News...: I think that's a stroll.
I spoke to her for about 3 mintues in one of the gay bars in Philly. We actually had a conversation and she had intelligent things to say. After we spoke, some very big men made me vow to never repeat it.
@In Other News...: Her ass was like two puppies fighting in a duffel bag. Specifically, Jack Russells. What I'm trying to remember is if she inherited the huge cankles of her dear madre. Thank God Hillary now wears pants exclusively.
Did she explain to the crowd why her father signed the Defense of Marriage Act, and then took out ads on small-market Christian radio stations boasting about it?
@timbnyc44: That she did not. I debated with her about her mother's commitment to fiscal responsibility. She referred me to her website and then cited a number of votes of her mother that didn't really tell me anything. At this point, I'm really more concerned with this country not borrowing itself into a black hole and not destroying the credit markets and the world economy with our unsustainable spending. But now that you mention it, I do agree that her father signing that bill (it was a compromise to get something else he wanted, I believe), was a little shameful. But he's not running for president, so I didn't bring it up.
Oh, and Chelsea in person doesn't look that bad. She's very thin. I think the cable news programs are still having fun with PhotoShop at her expense.
