Stop dumping on the Clinton wedding
Look, they've earned the right to this wedding. They delivered $Trillions to their patrons - totally-deregulated banks, almost-free trade with China, and so forth. This wedding may seem extravagant, but it is a mere trifle given the incredible wealth that the Clintons have created.

Stop the bitterness already: they won, and we lost, fair and square.

Nah. Just trying to appeal to the inner-fairness of said OP.

8. Um, ok. The Clintons were nearly ruined by having to obtain counsel for every frivolous charge

That came at them.

President Clinton made a ton of money speaking to groups and organizations. (Who wouldn't want a 2-term President to speak?)

17. One was duly elected twice, the other was the side-effect of an unusually partisan Supreme Court. nt

6. Yes, it is very stupid.
Chelsea Clinton deserves the kind of wedding she wants. At least her parents care about non-wealthy people, unlike the other rich bastards around who would rather see poor people die off.

20. Stupid and sarcastic comment. Good luck to Chelsea & Clintons.
Remember when Rush Limbaugh called 13-year old Chelsea a dog?

Now she's a beautiful young woman.

And, guys, stop repeating Fox News talking points and facts.

10. I don't understand why Chelsea's wedding has anything to do with her parents' work

21. It's at least consistent with her parents' oft-repeated view...
...that only some people ought to be allowed to wed.

Even fewer get multimillion-dollar weddings.

11. Sorry, I missed when Chelsea deregulated banks and formalized free trade....
Quite an exceptional young woman to do all that in her teens. Did she also sign welfare reform and DOMA?

Are Sasha and Malia responsible for the lack of a public option too? And how about Ron Reagan Jr and all those tax cuts for the rich he handed out while his dad was president.

What a load of crap
