Chelsea gets friendly with the natives...

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Chelsea Clinton extended her tour of gay America over the weekend, stopping in at four bars in Philadelphia's Center City neighborhood, where her rear end discovered that the City of Brotherly Love was all about grabbing a little ass.

Led around the neighborhood by Governor Ed Rendell, Chelsea was mobbed by local gays and lesbians as she walked from one club to the next. They ran up to hug her, posed for pictures and certainly invaded her personal space.
"I grabbed her ass..." one young woman exclaimed snapping a picture with her arm around the former first daughter. "Chelsea, the gays love you!" one fan exclaimed as she took the microphone at a bar that was Clinton's first stop.
She visited four bars in Center City, concluding her tour at the city’s most famous gay bar: Woody’s. Getting from one event to another proved difficult at times, as she was constantly stopped by admirers while walking down the sidewalk.
