What would we say about an aspiring politician, born into privilege, who works at a hedge fund, hangs out with celebrities, and refuses to talk to the press?

Well, first of all, she sounds like a Republican, right? And second, we’d be skeptical of someone whose every act seems to manifest contempt for the more democratic aspects of American democracy.

Nonetheless, this week in New York magazine, Lloyd Grove suggests that Chelsea Clinton would make a great politician.

Chelsea Clinton turns 28 in a few days—around the same age her father was when he ventured into electoral politics for the first time, in 1974, waging an unsuccessful campaign for a congressional seat in Arkansas—and she is, at long last, plunging into the family business, moving from prop to propagandist.

Maybe. But would she make a great public servant?

You’ll laugh, but the presidential daughter I’d prefer to go into politics is Jenna Bush. She teaches at a charter school in Washington, she wrote a book about teenagers and HIV, and instead of hanging out with poncy Brits at Oxford, or attending fashion shows with Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna, she’s getting married.

So how come the media doesn’t portray her as a rising star?
