Though she has already been honored with a lifetime achievement award at the ripe old age of 37, former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton seems to be a bit disconnected from reality… and history.

Lincoln just got off his unicorn and just when the Bosnian sniper fire started, he put the hat on.

You're not particularly bright, are you ? Better rack up those lifetime achievement awards now before it's too late.

No, I'm afraid it's real.
