A grifter coupling!
Will her soon-to-be husband's father-in-law express a similar sentiment?
Ivy League educated grifter bump for later.........
Now, Chelsea's father-n-law... is that Bill Clinton?
Too bad the families didn't hook up sooner.
The guy could have been given a government job appointment that would have made him virtually immune from the law instead of doing the time.
At least he's safe from now on.
Ah well, being “sorry” doesn’t cost anything.
The poor man’s son married down.
IOW, a typical elected Democrat.
Well her father is a criminal too, nothing to see here. Move along.
Well, now that he has some 'connections' the entire threat of going to jail has been removed. He is finally free to "Carry on in that proud Democratic tradition".
What about her father? Is he sorry too?
He is 66 and serving the beginning of an 80-month sentence in federal prison for numerous charges, including bank, wire and mail fraud. He took people's money - more than $10 million - in elaborate lies and schemes.

Chelsea's New Family:
If reports are true that Chelsea Clinton and her boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky are considering marriage, the father of the groom won't be able to attend the wedding until he is released from prison in November 2008.

Ed Mezvinsky, a former Democratic Congressman from Iowa, is serving a seven-year sentence for fraud after getting caught up in a series of Nigerian e-mail scams.
Initially, Mezvinsky became the victim of "just about every different kind of African-based scam we've ever seen," federal prosecutor Bob Zauzmer told 20/20 for a report to be broadcast this evening.
• But then, says Zauzmer, Mezvinsky began to steal from clients and even his own mother-in-law to raise the money to try yet another scheme.
• "He was always looking for the home run. He was always trying to find the business deal that would make him as wealthy as all the people in his social circle," said Zauzmer.
After leaving Congress, Mezvinsky moved to Philadelphia's Main Line suburbs with his wife Marjorie Margolies, a former television reporter, who won a seat in Congress herself as a Democratic congresswomen from Pennsylvania.
"They were seen as people of means; they were a legitimate power couple," said Gar Joseph, a political columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News.
The Mezvinkskys were also close to Bill and Hillary Clinton and were frequent guests at White House state dinners.
Prosecutors say Mezvinsky used his connections to the Clintons and his son's social relationship with Chelsea to persuade people to give him money to participate in the scams.
Mezvinsky traveled to Nigeria numerous times and ultimately lost more than $3 million as a victim of the scammers.
Prosecutors say Mezvinsky fell particularly hard for what is known as the "black money" scam. Victims are told millions of dollars have been coated with black ink so the money could be smuggled out of Nigeria.

The scammers then offer to sell a special, expensive chemical to remove the black ink so the currency can be used.
Prosecutors say Mezvinsky fell for at least three separate "black money" schemes that he thought would bring him millions.
Mezvinsky declined requests sent to him in prison to speak with ABC.

But consider that the unsaid details are extremely interesting:
Both mom and dad were Congressmen, from different states!!!
Prosecutors say EVERY deal step-dad ever did since 1980 had fraud within it.
$10,000,000 stolen !!!
So, who is paying for this wedding and what money is being used?
Step-dad’s fine was “only” $3,000,000” so clear net profit is $7,000,000.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I wonder, I wonder,
Bill, Hillary, step-dad, bernie madoff, I guess this is how people have $5,000,000 weddings in modern America.
All bow down to our new rulers!
Or perhaps the money came from the “hedge fund” where C works and for which she went to bat in Congress for (and where she got laughed at for trying it).
Has she fallen down drunk lately?
Ordered any more $25,000 bottles of wine lately???
BTW
Do you KNOW anyone who drinks $25,000 bottles of wine or has $5,000,000 weddings?
I don’t.
Chunk-spewing barf alert!
Sadly, this is a former congressman of mine. what an idiot.
This is strange and hard to believe. She is marrying into a crime family - how did Mother Groans take this? She couldn’t be happy.
By his own admission, however, he is insane.
