£7,000 for the cake at Chelsea Clinton's £3.2 MILLION wedding
Daily Mail U.K. Online ^ | July 28th, 2010 | DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Posted on 07/28/2010 8:12:56 AM PDT by DontTreadOnMe2009

Tents costing £400,000 have been set up, £70,000 is going on tables and crockery and a staggering £320,000 is being spent on flowers, thought to be Casablanca lillies and orchids. Miss Clinton’s dress, designed by Oscar de la Renta or Vera Wang, is rumoured to be a cool £16,000, and the jewellery she wears on the day is worth £160,000. The cake alone will cost £7,000 and security a further £130,000. Estimates put the cost at between £1.9million and £3.2million, far more than most celebrity weddings. When Liza Minnelli and David Gest tied the knot, it cost £1.6million, while Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes spent £1.2million.

Meanwhile, the little people are expected to welcome having their energy costs skyrocket in the name of global warming, while the proceeds from the energy taxes go to the ruling class and their buck-toothed progeny.

Indeed. To him, this was part of his retirement/life package deal that he could not let go. Thanks to his folks & future in-laws.

Wouldnt it be great if all the people the Groom’s father scammed out of their money showed up and demanded admittance? Or if all the people who got sick from the tainted blood Bubba sold showed up and asked for a piece of the cake.

One of the things that really gets to me is that we all know of their past. We all know what crooks ,perverts, and scam artists they are and yet they unashamedly show their arrogance by parading themselves and their ill gotten wealth in from of the nation.

Worse yet many Americans think this is great.

LOL!

I don’t think Hillary is known for paying her vendors.
How many of these schmucks are going to be asked to make their services a “donation”?

Speaking of donations, is Hillarys campaign debt fund on Chelsea’s gift registry?

Smart Jewish boys usually do.

Which reminds me.

With HILLARY'S known disdain for Jews, why is her daughter marrying a Jewish man?

Is this going to be a Jewish Wedding?

Will Bill and Hillary claim they ARE Jewish?

How come this nightmare just keeps going and I never wake up?

A large razorback will be roasted by the see-ment pond, then all invited guests will retire to the Billiard Room to dine high off the hog on the plush green felt, using pot-passers to spear the swine-flesh, and all under the visage of the mighty, mounted Billiard.

Hmm.. as an amateur cake decorator, I was kind of hoping to see who got the commission, to see if it was a name I recognized. But the article is woefully short on that kind of detail.

What’s it to you? Limbaugh spent a cool million just to have some guy sing for an hour or so.

She’s picking a jew because he’s probably the only guy she’s been with. If she met him in 93, she was 13. Poor girl never had a chance to play the field.

Limbaugh’s not a Cabinet member and federal employee who is expected to abide by regs regarding gifts.
