Early Show Apologetic For Letting News Interfere With Coverage Of 'Royal' Clinton Wedding
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/31/2010 7:43:59 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

It's "royal." It's of "historic proportions." It's Chelsea Clinton's wedding, and CBS apologizes for letting actual news get in the way of its breathless coverage.

Anchoring the coverage in Rhinebeck, Early Show weekend co-host Erica Hill, after referring to the event as "America's royal wedding," threw it back to a remorseful Chris Wragge in the studio, who promised to get back to Erica in "just a couple of minutes" after a couple of news items "we have to address." When she got the ball back, Hill described the wedding as being of "historic proportions.

'Royal' Clinton Wedding

I give the marriage four years - tops. Just think about the heck that poor guy will have to go through - because of the mother-in-law.

Why is the wedding of a former president’s daughter so historic? It’s never happened before? Didn’t a president’s daughter just get married a couple of years ago? Don’t remember a tenth of this coverage for her wedding...actually not watching any of it, but the amount of coverage I’m seeing in the press on the internet is astounding. I must say, though, what a HOMELY bride! geesh!

I knew many rational, even seemingly normal females who went absolutely gaga over the Charles and Diane wedding. In a way this *is* as close as we get here in America, with the political power angle and the celebrity angle verging together.

As a musician, and one who has friends and associates in the floral and catering business, I’m happy for folks in the area this is happening who are making some good bucks. On one hand I think lavish weddings rather silly, OTOH I’ve taken home some very nice paychecks, bottles of wine and (nearly) bridesmaids (making it more than worth having to play ‘Just The Way You Are’, and/or Achy Breaky Heart!).

I find this mind-boggling…two crooked families getting such attention …I can’t believe it.

Invited are about 500 other crooks. It is one big mafia gathering.

Can someone get out there and throw a few skunk bombs into the tent?

Oh, bullshit. She ought to be eating oats out of a burlap sack.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

My bet is that anyone who wasn’t paid before the wedding gets stiffed.

I just thought of a question:

Shouldn’t she have to pay taxes on her shower and wedding gifts? Each one of those gifts must have cost mucho dinero.

That would be hilarious.

Marc Mezvinsky must be happy that his father has been released from Federal Prison and will be attending the wedding. It's interesting how much an impeached and disgraced Bill Clinton and Ed Mezvinsky will have in common. For example, after pleading guilty to 31 of 69 charges of bank fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud in 2001, Mezvinsky went on to serve federal prison time and was released April 11, 2008. While Bill Clinton lied to federal prosecutors, lost his law license and is the only elected President of the United States who was impeached.

Disgraced criminal father-in-laws of the bride and groom would seem to have a lot to discuss.

“I give the marriage four years”

Good guess. But I think Chelsea’s model mother showed her how to put up with anything. Besides her hubby is ugly. Chelsea is definitely marrying down. I predict death do part.

What is the difference between the mafia 1957 meeting in up state NY and the reception at the Clintoon wedding?

You can bet that not one of the major florests or caterers are local! The only bucks they might make is being second hand help.

If I was the groom, I’d think I’d skip the wedding night, and live in seperate quarters. That is one ugly skank.

I don’t think he’s ugly. Big, strong, strapping with an intellectual-Jewish look.

They’ve been dating (and more) since she followed him to Stanford — it’s not like he doesn’t know precisely what he’s getting into here.

“Achy Breaky Heart”

I used to make our band play the last bar in that stupid guitar solo as 5/4. It was funny as all get out to watch the line dancers bump into each other, then look around in total confusion about what to do next! I hated playing that solo! I’d play it backwards, parallel fourths, anything I could think of to make it more appalling!

It’s their job to goose their ratings. If flogging this wedding will work, they’ll flog the wedding. (And yes, they are Democrat shills too.)

The only thing about Scarlett Johansson is that she is proud of the fact that she has slept with half of Hollywood. She stunningly beautiful (Chelsea lookalike? Are you high?), but man, I wouldn’t want to be guy #468 out of ????......

this is the best distraction from what is going on in the country and world that the media has this week. Consequently they will milk it breathlessly until the find one for next week.

I am disgusted by the wedding. Who the hell do they think they are? good gawd, man, half the country is living hand to mouth, and taxed to death to support these sickening royals. A POX on their house and their wedding. The chicken entrails are reading extreme pain and suffering is about to descend on all the ruling elite.
