Chelsea Clinton to Marry in August.

[AtomicKitten]

Buzz is building that Chelsea Clinton will get married on Martha's Vineyard this summer. Sources on the island tell us that the former first daughter will wed Marc Mezvinsky at Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen's home in Chilmark this August. The wedding coincides with President Barack Obama's rumored vacation on the Vineyard. To prepare for the A-list affair, Danson and Steenburgen are said to be doing extensive renovations on their property. Vineyard caterer Jaime Hamlin, who helped throw one of Bill Clinton's birthday parties on the island, said there's plenty of local excitement about Chelsea's upcoming nupitals, especially among vendors who hope to get some business from the Clintons. "They haven't called me yet," Hamlin joked. "Maybe they will." The young Clinton met Mezvinsky years ago through her parents. He is the son of former Iowa congressman Edward Mezvinsky, and like Chelsea, studied at Stanford University in California.

[ErinBerin84]

1. a report like this came out a month ago

and her spokesperson said she wasn't getting married (though it's understandable if they didn't want to talk about it), but that would be pretty cool if she got married this summer.

[AtomicKitten]

2. maybe it's just buzzzzzzzz

[SharonRB]

3. If true, congrats, Chelsea!

She's a fine young woman and has done her parents proud.

[Cha]

4. I saw that on Huff News but this is the pic

they had and it doesn't look like that guy, does it?

[Sultana]

5. That dude in the (other) pic is her ex

[AtomicKitten]

6. fixed it

thanks

[Cha]

7. Yeah, I thought I recognized him

as a former.

[pnwmom]

8. Too bad her future father-in-law was a crook. n/t

[rurallib]

13. I was wondering. We had a congressman Ed Mezvinskey in the

early '70s. After he lost his seat he apparently got into some pretty bad stuff. Embezzling from rich old ladies or something. Is this the boyfriend's father?

[Cha]

14. Yes..

"He is the son of former Iowa congressman Edward Mezvinsky, and like Chelsea, studied at Stanford University in California."

[rurallib]

15. Thank you.

[Freddie Stubbs]

94. He was also Chairman of the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee

[Baby Snooks]

20. It is and he was running scams out of Nigeria...

Really a mess as I recall. He will fit right in on the golf course with Bill Clinton and George HW Bush. Chelsea of course is a hedge fund manager. Devoting herself to public service obviously.

[babylonsister]

19. She's not marrying him. nt

[pnwmom]

23. In-laws are a part of the package -- unfortunately, in this case. n/t

[babylonsister]

24. Baloney. They don't have to be, and are you privy to their

private life? No, I didn't think so.

[pnwmom]

25. So you think the father might not be attending the wedding?

And the media won't be reminding us over and over again of how he was a financier who bilked old ladies out of millions?

And there won't be lots of pictures of the four in-laws smiling and standing together?

You're more optimistic than I am then.

No, I don't have any insider information on the family, but unless Marc has completely and permanently cut off relations with his father -- and there is no indication that he has -- then his parents, to some degree of another, ARE a part of the package. And if he and Chelsea have children, that will be even more true.

[WinkyDink]

29. I trust you despise the Bush twins.

[AtomicKitten]

41. hey, what's not to like?

[tblue37]

58. I wish the Bush girls had rerained from campaigning for their father, but he is their father.

The evidence, though, is that the girls are far more liberal than their father (remember Barbara's gay friend who used to have dinner with the Bushes at the White House, and who later wrote an expose of sorts?). Also, Jenna at least is trying to do something with her life that involves helping others, even if she did marry a RW bootlicker.

Since I don't know enough about what the Bush girls really believe, and since a lot of people party hard while in college, I am not willing to pile on where the Bush girls are concerned just because their father is a slime.

I think they are both just cute girls who enjoyed being rich and privileged, as most rich, privileged, and attractive young women do.

[AtomicKitten]

77. I'm glad they ultimately kept a low profile although their antics were amusing!

I do think the children of politicians should be off limits.

[madmom]

62. Not necessarily so, My SO has not broken ties with his family, but

we haven't spoken to them in about a year. They live about 7-10 miles from us. He speaks with his mother on the phone occasionally but that is all.They are not part of our package, I have nothing to do with them.

[MoonRiver]

34. Unbelievable.

Even in a totally neutral, happy news thread, the Clinton bashers have to spew their hate. Rush would be so proud of their efforts. :puke:

[polmaven]

43. Unreal, isn't it?

There do seem to be some of them missing so far, though. 'Course, I havent been to the bottome of the thread yet.

I expect that most of them will come out of the woodwork soon enough.

[MoonRiver]

49. I used to wonder, well I still do, what makes the rightwing nutcases tick.

Sadly I now am similarly amazed with the DU rabid Clinton haters. Their behavior is so irrational it borders on the psychotic. :crazy:

[Beacool]

53. Go check my positive thread on Hillary

and see what they have done to it. I refuse to respond to their little nasty sub-thread.

x(

[Lord Helmet]

56. ...says the person responding to their little nasty sub-thread.

*snrk*

[Beacool]

59. Excuse me, was I talking to you?

I thought not...........

:eyes:

[Lord Helmet]

60. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize that this was a private conversation.

Nothing would give me more pleasure than to get into the dirt with you over how much the mean ol' Interweb people are being mean to your dear leader, but it's much more fun to sit back and laugh while you set your hair on fire over something that doesn't mater to anyone else.

Please, carry on.

[MoonRiver]

72. Do you respect the decisions of President Obama?

He chose Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State.

[Lord Helmet]

73. Better question - Do you know the difference between a President and a Secretary?

I do not understand the mental gymnastics you perform to place the Secretary of State as an equal to the President, let alone above the Vice President. The cabinet serves at the pleasure of the President, not the other way around.

She's the Vanna White to Obama's Pat Sajak - she's not in charge of the wheel, she just points at the prizes.

[MoonRiver]

82. I am not equating them as equal. He's the President, she's HIS choice of Secretary of State.

:wtf:

[Lord Helmet]

85. On that note, what does her being Secretary of State have to do with Chelsea getting married?

I'm amazed at how you were able to derail this thread with your knee-jerk reaction to an irrelevant topic.

[MoonRiver]

87. I'm not derailing anything.

I'm reacting to the derailing. I like and admire Chelsea and wish her the best. Some Clinton hating trolls on here don't though.

[MoonRiver]

64. I saw it.

When I read those responses, the word "deranged" comes immediately to mind.

[Beacool]

68. We can't have ONE positive thread about any Clinton without someone crapping all over it.

It's as if only half of the party is allowed to be represented here. They remind me of the Borg.

x(

[MoonRiver]

71. Too bad some here can't follow President Obama's exemplary example.

He obviously completely respects and trusts Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. I think a lot of people just like to hate.

[AtomicKitten]

74. Too bad some people here can't respect that he is POTUS

and continue to wage the primary battle here 24/7 because they don't like the outcome, squatting in threads to protect their precious.

[hyphenate]

88. The secret is to hit the "alert" button

when things start to degrade. After the initial shot, the sharks enter into a frenzy. If the shot is clipped, it takes longer for them to have their fun. And like most immature beings, they go elsewhere to get their cheap shots in.

[AtomicKitten]

89. "alert" also works on passive-aggressive flamebait labeled "positive thread"

[TankLV]

84. Noticed that too, huh?

unfuckingbelieveable....

[msongs]

9. millionaires blow a wad while the average american goes down the tubes nt

[marshall]

12. that money ain't gonna spend itself!

And it will provide day labor jobs to dozens of people,

[Baby Snooks]

21. Daddy and Mommy are worth somewhere between 50 and 100 million...

So comparatively speaking a million for a wedding will be just your average wedding. Well except for who's getting married.

[Hekate]

27. I'm sure the caterers, landscapers, et al are VERY happy for the work. nt

[WinkyDink]

30. Americans love their millionaires. Watch TV sometime.

[old mark]

32. It's part of the Martha's Vinyard Stimulus Package.

Good luck and happiness to them.


mark

[busymom]

52. They ARE providing jobs

for caterers, etc. I mean...no offense here, but shouldn't people with a lot of money be ENCOURAGED to spend it lavishly to help provide the rest of us with ways to earn money too????

[Egnever]

79. Good! Spend it please millionaires!

They need to be spending right now.

[Barack_America]

10. That bitch!

I'm getting married Aug. 15 and I'm inviting Pres. Obama to my wedding.

Guest thief!

:grr:

;)

Congrats to the Clintons.

[firedupdem]

11. ROFL!!!

:rofl:

[AtomicKitten]

75. Seriously?

If so, mazel tov.

:fistbump:

[Egnever]

80. Grats to you!

[saltpoint]

16. Good for these two young people.

You don't have to be the daughter of a couple of extremely famous people to want to be happy, and I hope these two young folks multiply all their good choices with this marriage.

Congratulations to them both.

[question everything]

17. Congratulations and best wishes

You deserve your own moments of happiness.

[babylonsister]

18. Good for her! If she's happy, I'm happy.

Really! :party: :toast:

[moez]

22. I would love to hear

the advice that mom gives her....

[elleng]

50. Read about his FATHER!

[AnnieBW]

26. Jokes about Bill chasing bridesmaids in 5..4...3..2...1....

n/t

[Aragorn]

51. Top this

Bill is said to be giving each bridesmaid a cigar....

[ClarkUSA]

76. lol

And they're each wearing blue dresses....

[jillan]

28. He's a cutie. Hope they have a happy life together.

[ccharles000]

31. Good for her

[wyldwolf]

33. somehow some way this is all part of a DLC conspiracy involving Bill, Hillary and Rahm...

... to hijack the Obama presidency.

[Bluenorthwest]

35. Good luck to them both!

I've heard Chelsea speak, and she is one smart woman. An excellent memory for facts and figures, especially figures, she's very modest in her approach and unlike many political speakers, she answers questios in great detail.
May they be very happy together.

[Paladin]

36. Brace Yourself For A Torrent Of Ugly "Jokes" From Right-Wingers....

....about her looks, about her supposed parentage, etc.---just like it's happened before. Sure bets for the earliest "jokers": Coulter and Limbaugh.

Congrats to a classy, intelligent young woman on her planned wedding. The Bush daughters should wish they had one-tenth the grace and ability that Chelsea Clinton exhibits every day.....

[nichomachus]

38. What the right wingers don't realize yet

is that they have become the "ugly jokes." The whole right wing of this country is just one big joke.

Look a the GOP. It's leaders are Caribou Barbie, Bobby "The exorcist" Jindaloo, Cranky McCain, Joe the Plunger, and a lardass Oxycontin junkie.

The latest anti-gay spokesmodel is a bottle-blond airhead with fake boobs.

What a collection.

[Baby Snooks]

48. Sponsored fake boobs,...

Did anyone find out who sponsored them?

[Beacool]

40. They already started

and I see that so have some here too, same as usual.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2242455/posts

x(

[polmaven]

44. I was just thinking

about going there to see what they are spewing. but no need to taint my computer now...Thanks for doing the leg work.

Hope your computer tubes can be cleaned easily.

[Beacool]

45. Oh, I tend to laugh when I go there.

The poor things are infected with a chronic case of CDS. I get upset here because some should know better. The Freepers are just a lost cause.

:D

[polmaven]

46. Oh, God!!!

I just went there via your link. Oh, my! Do they have no idea at all how absolutely hypocritical they are?

It took 40 posts for anyone to suggest that their going after Chelsea is as wrong as us going after Bristol Palin.

A few comments about how she is typically not having a church wedding.!! If I recall, Jenna was married at the Bush Ranch, was she not? Do the Bushes have a church on the Ranch? I have seen nothing in the article refernced that there will not be an ordained pastor presiding.

They, like some here, of course MUST comment on how rich the Clintons are. I guess the Bushes are now poverty stricken, do ya think?


Then, of course, there are the mandatory Chappaquiddick references. Never mind that an investigation opined that Ted was probably a passenger, and not driving the car when it went into the water.

For me, wading in there is like going into a toxic waste dump. But that is something most of them have no problem having here either. (Unless it is in their own back yards, of course).

[Beacool]

57. That's why I never participated in the Bristol bashing done here.

It was just as vicious as the Freepers' posts on Chelsea. Both equally disgusting, it's not the children's fault if they have a parent running for office. Really below the belt to go after them. Ditto for the nastiness expressed against the Bush girl.


:thumbsdown:

[Common Sense Party]

96. Absolutely right. DU should have been embarrassed for the Bristol

treatment; it was lowbrow and deplorable. FReepers should be disgusted by the Chelsea stuff--but they must have consciences to realize they're wrong. I doubt it will happen.

[Jakes Progress]

66. You don't have to read right wing sites.

You will get them right here. There is a strong bastion of Hooters clientele here on DU.

[Beacool]

70. Very true................

:(

[PopSixSquish]

37. If True, Then Best Wishes to Chelsea

I remember the little girl and now she's a grown woman...

[wisteria]

39. I wish her much happiness. n/t

[fujiyama]

42. Good for them

It will be cool to have Obama there too at a wedding. Martha's Vineyard sounds like a nice place. I've never really been up in the Northeast (other than the cities). Damn, I need some rich friends!

[cherish44]

47. Chelsea has always been a class act

She took a lot of low, cheap shots from the right when she was just a kid and makes fools of them by being a poised, classy, smart young woman.

[Beacool]

54. Since she was 6 years old her parents would explain to her

that people would sometimes say mean things about mommy or daddy, but not to let it affect her. She learned her lesson well and adores her parents as much as they adore her.

:-)

[tblue37]

55. My daughter and some of her friends went down to Oxford during

her junior year, when she spent a study abroad semester in London. They ran into Chelsea there, and the lovely girl not only chatted with them in a polite and friendly way (when she must get really tired of being pestered by strangers), but she also was nice enough to pose for photos with them. Everyone who has ever encountered Chelsea says she is a sweet, serene, and charming young lady. The way she turned out is evidence that Bill and Hillary were great parents.

[Yavin4]

61. Damn, I'm Getting Old

Wasn't she like a little girl just five minutes ago?

[Faygo Kid]

67. I'm with you. Same with my daughter.

Wasn't I taking her to see Santa five minutes ago?

She will be 33 this year.

I feel like singing "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler On The Roof.

[AtomicKitten]

78. Mine too.

and it does seem like 5 minutes ago she was in kindergarten ...

[hulklogan]

63. I don't believe in opposite marriage so as far as I'm concerned, she isn't getting married.

:patriot:

[LooseWilly]

91. She's just getting a partner?

Like in a buddy cop movie?...

Well, that's cool too.. just so long as the checks to the caterers clear...

[PassingFair]

65. Danson and Steenburgen are "A-List"....?

They seem a bit farther down the
alphabet to me...

[Beacool]

69. Mary is from Arkansas and has been their friend for many years.

I don't think that the Clintons could care less if she's A-List of Z-List.

:-)

[alcibiades_mystery]

81. Something else to place in my "Shit I Don't Care About" Folder

Awesome.

[AtomicKitten]

83. you're welcome

:rofl:

[alcibiades_mystery]

86. I've placed it next to "Trish Nixon's poodle euthanized after raptor attack"

Tremendous!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

92. but you care enough to remark about it. thats funny. nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

93. Oooooo...BURN!

:rofl:

[regnaD kciN]

90. OMG! So, she's going to be experiencing "bedroom pleasures"...?????

:wow:

(In case you don't know, that was a reference to a tabloid-worthy article in Murdoch's New York Post several years ago, analyzing a photo of Chelsea and a boyfriend at a tennis match, and declaring that her expression betrayed that she had been "experiencing 'bedroom pleasures'." :eyes: )

[kwassa]

95. I saw Chelsea up close ...

at a rally for Hillary during the primaries. She is very nice-looking, actually. I was within about five feet or so, and have a couple of good pictures of her, and many of Hillary.
