YouTube Debate, Plus Twenty-Foot Snakes!
I liked the YouTube debate. The questions ordinary people ask are generally better than the ones journalists ask. Biden was funny, if a bit weird at the end when he said he likes Kucinich's wife. Clinton was sharp as usual. I think she found a good leverage point on Obama when he said he'd meet with Castro and Chavez et al. [More on the debate here from Jay Rosen & Co.]
One answer from Clinton didn't quite make sense: "Chelsea went to public schools, kindergarten through eighth grade, until we moved to Washington. And then I was advised, and it was, unfortunately, good advice, that if she were to go to a public school, the press would never leave her alone, because it's a public school. So I had to make a very difficult decision."
Um, she went to Sidwell to escape the news media? What? Can reporters and photographers go stomping onto public school property (say, Wilson High right down the street) whenever they want? Her explanation doesn't ring true. More likely: Sidwell was a better school than the best public alternative in DC. Besides, if I'm not mistaken the press corps stayed away from Chelsea until she turned 18.
Here's Peter Baker in the Post's new political blog, The Trail.
'That's not what the White House said in January 1993 when it announced the decision. "They chose Sidwell Friends because it's a good school," spokesman George Stephanopoulos said at the time. "It's an academically challenging school." And, he noted, "one of the things that was particularly attractive to the family was that Sidwell has a service component that goes along with their academic requirements."
Nothing about the mean, nasty reporters. Who by the way over eight years pretty much left Chelsea alone, regardless of school.'
See also this, from the Post, Dec. 9, 1992:
'They might have consulted a number of friends, however, who send or have sent their children to private school: the Gores, whose kids attend St. Albans and the National Cathedral School; Strobe and Brooke Talbott, who sent their children to Maret; and Marian Wright Edelman, whose children went to Sidwell Friends.'
[This is the shocker, from the Post story of Jan. 6, 1993: "Tuition is $10,400 for the middle school..." Wow. For that kind of money, today, you'd be allowed to go to Sidwell only until about 11:15 in the morning, when they'd insist you leave the premises.]
[Yeah, you say, but what about inflation? OK, so tuition at Sidwell has nearly tripled, but according to this online inflation calculator, inflation between January 1993 and January 2007 increased only 41.95 percent. This reflects the general gold-plating of Northwest DC that puts into sharp relief my own downward socioeconomic spiral.] [Soon this blog will be all about class warfare 24-7.]
[ScienceTim in the boodle speechwrites for Hillary: "We sent our daughter to a private school in which it's not that much out of the ordinary to have your parents in high government office, so that she could have a more normal relationship to her peers. Also, it's no secret that the Washington, DC public schools have major problems. As a parent, I need to make the choices that are best for my child, and I was able to afford an expensive private school."]
