Chelsea Clinton is Quitting Her $600,000/Year NBC "Reporter" Job

Shortly after it was revealed by Politico that NBC had stooped to new lows in favoritist nepotism, having paid Chelsea Clinton an annual salary of $600,000 for "occasional" reporting work, in effect making her one of the highest paid if not the highest paid "reporter" in the world, the former first daughter quickly stunned everyone when, in the aftermath of her mother's just as stunning commentary on personal wealth and what being "broke" in the New Normal apparently means, she stated rhetorically that "I was curious if I could care about money and I couldn't."

So, moments ago, to prove that she really no longer cares about such earthly things as money, since between her hedge fund husband and her parents, she has more than she can possibly spend in one lifetime, AP reported that Chelsea Clinton is finally quitting her job as a reporter at NBC News.

From AP:

Bill and Hillary Clinton's daughter has been working at the network since 2011, sporadically doing feature stories on people or organizations doing public-spirited work. Politico magazine reported earlier this year that NBC was paying her $600,000 a year.

 

The network announced her exit on Friday. She was initially hired to do stories for Brian Williams' "Rock Center" newsmagazine, but that program was canceled. Her work occasionally appeared on NBC's "Nightly News."

 

Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, announced this spring that she is pregnant with her first child.

And now we await as NBC replaces Clinton with some random Columbia journalism school graduate who will do the same amount of work and will, naturally, be paid the same money.

There's an old saying : "Look at the mother; that's what the daughter will look like in 20 years".

Mark M. you have my sympathy.

Ahhh, it is good to see things are back to normal in the world.  In this guilded age you just have to be yanked from the proper cunt and you get to run the world! "Le droit divin des rois!"

Imelt hires only H1-b workers, unless it's someone who can influence broadcast licenses.

The Clintons make me want to puke. I hope that hedge fund husband of Chelsea's has a good stockpile of paper bags to cover her head!!! She is a two bagger, one for her head and one for his in case her bag falls off!

Clinton's Thumb on the scales of justice can't get out of its own way; always trying to have it both ways, depending on what is, is.

Her nut and bolts analysis, relentless pursuit of the facts, and insightful commentary will leave a gaping hole in the NBC news coverage that may not be filled in our lifetimes — not to mention the power vacuum.

Exceptionally high snark per square inch factor!

I'd do her from behind, only. Of course, that's how I do chicken and/or pigs, so nothing new there.

I do wonder whether she'd cluck or squeal, though.

You guys are being so mean.  Chelsea didn't choose her greedy amoral parents any more than a thug from the projects chose his crack ho mother and absent father.  Sadly, both offspring are FUBAR.

She didn't choose to disassociate herself from them, either.

she's probably due in Israel soon, to support its right to kill hundreds of kids.

Next up, Chelsea will "donate" a big chunk of change charity - maybe  the fight against ebola.

This is a necessary move to make the Clintons look like decent souls ahead of the primaries.

Not to worry, though. Chelsea will never lack for $.

I shut my eyes each time I scroll by that pic. Sometimes I open them too soon.

Which govt. dept. do I claim the compensation from? - Not that any amount of money can compensate for the trauma I suffer .... each time :(

Who is this person and why do we care she exists?

Basically, she works from home, has goals that can't be measured and doesn't need to show up to get her check (direct deposit). I'm shocked they didn't offer her more money to stay.. Or a promotion.

Chelsea used to be ulgy, but plastic surgery on her nose has really helped her looks. Now she is a 3 out of 5.

Chelsea may be ugly, but she can fetch the stick and bring you your slippers.
