Daddy Bill Clinton took his daughter and her beau, the pride of Belvedere Ca., Ian Klaus, around the new Tate Modern Art Gallery in London last week.
Says a conviently placed Londoner to a London paper, 'President Clinton seemed comfortable with Ian and glad that his daughter found a decent man.'
The trio toured the galleries with the rest of the public, but with a security detail of 12
Bubba bought drinks for the young couple.
Chelsea and Ian, who met at a rally of students at Oxford post-9/11, are expected to announce their engagement by June
In case you are wondering, Klaus's parents, the eminent and respectable Robin and Patricia of Belvedere, are both longtime Democrats.
- February 3, 2002 -- There may be one very good reason why Chelsea Clinton has fallen for her new man, fellow Oxford University student Ian Klause - he's a dead ringer for her father at the same age.
Klause's mop of long curly hair, easygoing manner, buggy eyes - even his Rhodes Scholar status - mirrors the image of a youthful Bubba at Oxford 33 years ago.
And a new study has discovered that men and woman are far more likely to pick partners who resemble mom and pop.
[snip] Chelsea met Klause, 22, through a close-knit bunch of American friends last semester. The pair began dating in November and have gotten serious in recent weeks.
But it's not just the mop of hair, broad shoulders, ruddy cheeks and alluring grin that make Klause, an American, so much like a young Bill Clinton.
His outgoing personality, ability to mix easily with British students in the often anti-American university and a love of the good life makes Klause seem like a chip of the old Clinton block.

Last week, Chelsea's two bodyguards were left sipping mineral water and averting their eyes at the bar in the trendy Quad restaurant while the former First Daughter and new beau openly made out and giggled together on a nearby leather sofa.
The pair even like to party one block from her pop's old digs in North Oxford - where the ex-prez smoked dope but "didn't inhale."

Chelsea and Klause also sometimes dash 50 miles to London for a night out, just as Bill did in his college days.
The only difference is that cash-strapped Bill hitchhiked to the capital, while Chelsea jumps in a limo to meet her new showbiz friends.
They'll get Terry McAuliffe and some of their other scumbag friends to donate funds so that they can attempt "The Wedding of the Century." (gag!)
Having 42 as a father-in-law.
Hillary and X-42 probably have the phones going already...
Waldorf Astoria, Le Cirque for food and cake the sky is the limit to troll for future donations.
Or having a pervert and rapist for a father-in-law!
