I got yelled at when I leered at Santorum's daughter.

Carter, Clinton, Bush Jr all had children in the White House.

I think Shelf meant like elementary age.

Amy Carter was nine when Jimmy was inaugerated.
Chelsea Clinton was eight or nine.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

No shit.  I figured them both for older.

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Chelsea blossomed from a gangly, awkwardly unattractive pre-tween to a gangly, awkwardly unattractive young adult during that Administration.

And Amy had three older brothers, none of which ever stumped for Pops.

Chelsea looks better than her parents.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Well, yeah...but that's because their faces have started to melt from old age.

Spelling it like he pronounces it, eh?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
