Chelsea Clinton's Vineyard wedding

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

Just think how many homeless people that money could feed.

Any chance of a tsunami?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Looks like the elitists are going to have another major extravaganza for the untaxed “rich”. Maybe we, the little people, can watch it on TV if we’re nice until then.

[Joe Boucher]

Unless my name was Satan I would not marry in to that FAMILY.

[steelyourfaith]

I hope they festoon the Chappaquiddick Dike Bridge for the nuptial event.

[freekitty]

I wonder when donation requests will go out to pay for it.

[Big_Monkey]

"Any chance of a tsunami?

One can dream.

[Tax-chick]

I’m sure they’ll be as happy as Bill and Hillary.

[MaxMax]

Obama is taking another Vacation? Lazy B!

[Michael.SF.]

The Clinton's will probably shop this for an HBO pay per view special.

The money of course will go to Charity................... The Clinton Foundation!

especially among vendors who hope to get some business from the Clintons. “They haven’t called me yet,” Hamlin joked. “Maybe they will.”

Be careful what you wish for, IIRC they are not too good at paying their bills.

[Big_Monkey]

"I hope they festoon the Chappaquiddick Dike Bridge for the nuptial event.

It's not a legitimate Democrat shindig unless someone drowns, or is raped.

With Clintons and Kennedys in attendance, both are excellent possibilities.

This kid's father was still in prison until this last November.

Where is the three bag barf alert??

[azishot]

Can’t wait to see the color of the sweater, belt and stretch pants MO will wear.

[Kickass Conservative]

Look at the Mother to see what the Daughter will look like in 20 years.

Save money for a nice wide angle lens and a lifetime supply of Viagra...

[Disambiguator]

This seems like as good a thread as any for a Helen Thomas pic.

[stboz]

Oh! Please!

I'm concerned for the safety of all.......why would you have a wedding in the path of a tidal wave? I mean....like ....uh....uh....somebody's teleprompter could be hurt.

[KLT]

[taillightchaser]

If Teddy is on the guest list, I hope they don’t give him an Oldsmobile. Does the bride know how to swim??

[maggief]

[FlingWingFlyer]

muawiyah. Thanks for the link. I hadn’t seen this. Man, talk about a messed up gene pool. The groom’s daddy don’t seem to be very bright. Most NORMAL Americans find those Nigerian scam emails very annoying and delete them. This guy seeks them out looking for new opportunities! LOL!

[Neoliberalnot]

What happened with Ted and Whoopi-the-gorilla’s affair? Did she dump on Teddy?

[PLMerite]

“...Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen’s home...”

I thought they split up. She’s even dumber than I thought.

[muawiyah]

The boy's father is originally from Ames Iowa, the place that isolated (and then provided the name for) the Anthrax type used to attack the US.

Now, something that'll make the moonbats howel, it didn't take long to find that former Congressman Ed Mezvinsky is a not too distant cousin of Senator Mitch McConnell.

[billorites]

Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. Ed.

[GreatDaggar]

didn’t she have a job at one of those EVIL hedge funds?

[Cincinna]

This is like Michael Corleone's son marrying Tony Soprano's daughter. The marriage of two major American crime families.

And just who is Mezvinsky?

Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky (born January 17, 1937) is a former congressman who was later sentenced to 80 months in prison for a series of white-collar crimes involving fraud. As a Democrat he represented Iowa's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives for two terms, from 1973 to 1977.

Mezvinsky was also involved in a series of business transactions that ultimately became his downfall. Prosecutors later would call him a one-man crime wave. In 2000, after examining his business deals since 1980, prosecutors said that they uncovered elements of fraud in nearly every one.

In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud. Nearly $10 million was involved in the crimes. Shortly after his indictment, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but the judge at his trial disallowed a mental illness defense. According to the Bureau of Prison's Inmate Locator, Mezvinsky was released from federal prison on April 11, 2008.

CHELSEA CLINTON : AMAZING WHAT $100K OF PLASTIC SURGERY CAN DO

APPROPRIATE PING LISTS PLEASE COPY

[Tax-chick]

That’s a dweeb.

[ikka]

Just like the little people who view them as heroes ... I have never even been to Martha’s Vineyard ...

[freedom1st]

Marc Mezvinsky is the son of former Iowa congressman and convicted felon Edward Mezvinsky and former NBC reporter and congresswoman Marjorie Margolies M.

[muawiyah]

BTW, that makes him a pretty close cousin through just lots and lots and lots of lines to his (for the moment) little bride.

And, that now provides a relationship by marriage between the Clintons and their own daughter!

[A_Former_Democrat]

Don’t dare pick a church, Chel

Go with some dysfunctional Hollyweird types instead

[GILTN1stborn]

and includes a "stimulus package"

[GOPsterinMA]

She looks like Webster Hubble...

I guess this guy hasn't heard how many businesses the Clinton's have stiffed over the years. With the Clinton's, business moves only one way -- their way.

[Oldexpat]

What a joke. This will keep the MSM busy for weeks.
And at the center of the whole thing..another Rat criminal.
I always kinda wonder how this big criminals manage to retain their social standing and their wealth inspite of big convictions.
I suppose it was all in his wife’s name.

[Oztrich Boy]

I didn’t even know she was pregnant.

[SouthDixie]

Yall going off on Chelsea is like the libtards going off on Bristol Palin, stop it.

[Cincinna]

He works fpor Goldman Sachs.... what a coincidence!

Our beloved former Senator from the State of NY is marrying off her daughter in Massachussetts.

I guess the Chappaqua McMansion was just for show. Ya think?

I guess the Clintons are not going for a Church wedding.

[LRoggy]

People, why are we lowering ourselves to Daily Kos territory?

I for one hope that they find happiness in the future.

Just because we disagree on the politics doesn’t mean we need to write like this.

We are supposed to be the side of family values, remember?

[Feline_AIDS]

Hahahaha do we know the lucky guy’s middle name yet?

He may be satan...

or i could say...

she’s not marrying obama, so that’s out of the question.

[doc1019]

AMAZING WHAT $100K OF PLASTIC SURGERY CAN DO

Didn’t spend enough! IMHO ;-)

[StandUpChuck]

I hope Jaws swims up and eats the whole lot of them.

[traditional1]

[Joe Boucher]

Look, you can dress a pig any way ya care to and it still will look like Chelsea Clinton.
What an ugly bag of bones and crap.

[Cincinna]

Mezvinsky is Jewish. So is his wife, Marjorie Margolis. I don’t think Mitch McConnell is Jewish.

[Cincinna]

When you are marrying into a family where the father was a crooked Congressman, and convicted felon, that is news.

[Cincinna]

The resemblance between the pre-plastic surgery Chelsea and Webb Hubbell is striking.
