Sleeping in EQ is an unknown quantity at this point

No doubt. Out of curiosity I looked up her involvement in ballet. Apparently, her interest goes back to when she was a toddler and she now serves on the board of the School of American Ballet. I see little political value in such service, but I'm sure it can be woven into the web of Clinton conspiracy.

When she's stumping for her mom or something she certainly invites scrutiny. But Rush Limbaugh asking, "Did you know there's a White House dog?" and then holding up a picture of 13-year old Chelsea on his TV show was just cruel. David Shuster declaring she was "pimped out" in Hillary's campaign was also pretty thoughtless.
