Huh? Hillary attacks Hedge Fund Mgrs

Tue Feb 19, 2008 at 03:21:52 AM PDT

From today's New York Times article, relating how both Democratic candidates are increasing their populist rhetoric on the campaign trail:

Mrs. Clinton, speaking on the eve of the Wisconsin primary but looking forward to primaries in Ohio and Texas on March 4, issued a 12-page compendium of her economic policies that emphasizes programs aiding families stressed by high oil prices, home foreclosures, costly student loans and soaring health care premiums.

In public appearances here and in her economic booklet, she took aim at hedge fund managers, oil company profits, drug company subsidies and trade agreements that she says encourage companies to export jobs.

Umm... isn't Chelsea on leave as a hedge fund manager?

Is this an "oops, we forgot about Chelsea's choice of careers" or an "ahh fuck it, let's say it anyway" moment?

Update: From the comments I gather that Chelsea is a Hedge-Fund-Manager-Wannabe, not an actual Hedge Fund Manager.
