CHELSEA Clinton is not getting married this year, despite constant rumors of impending nuptials. Maybe the former first daughter or her fiancé, Marc Mezvinsky, just isn't ready yet.

THOSE rumors of an imminent Chelsea Clinton wedding have picked up steam. A Post reporter yesterday spotted preparations in full gear for a very large gathering on Chappaquiddick island. A big stage was being built and a large tent, capable of seating hundreds, was going up near the property's breathtaking water view. Martha's Vineyard has been abuzz all summer with speculation about Chelsea's supposed nuptials with her investment-banker boyfriend, Marc Mezvinsky. But so far, there have been nothing but denials from the Clinton camp, and talk that President Obama was going to attend seems to have no foundation, as he...

MSNBC's David Shuster, who was suspended in 2008 for proclaiming that Chelsea Clinton was being "pimped out" by her then-candidate mother, on Monday challenged a representative of Free Republic as to what he would do to try and "discourage people" from using "hateful, vile language" on the website. Guest Kristinn Taylor, a spokesman for the Washington D.C. chapter of Free Republic, appeared on the show to battle with the MSNBC Live host over offensive comments that were posted on the site about 11-year old Malia Obama. Taylor combatively contradicted an assertion by Shuster that some racist remarks featured under a...

As Mark Finkelstein reported on Newsbusters on the 7th, MSNBC’s David Shuster made a rather interesting comment about Chelsea Clinton as he was hosting “Tucker” that evening. Shuster asked if Hillary Clinton’s use of her daughter on the campaign trail seemed “like Chelsea’s sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?” Well, NBC has now announced that they’ve suspended Shuster over the comment…. so much for free political speech. In a press release, NBC says the following: On Thursday’s “Tucker” on MSNBC, David Shuster, who was serving as guest-host of the program, made a comment about Chelsea...

Unknown, unfortunately. Maybe all references to this will also be pulled.

Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton may get married in Kennedy country this summer. Martha's Vineyard is abuzz with rumors that the daughter of ex-president Bill and current Secretary of State Hillary is set to walk down the aisle with longtime beau Marc Mezvinsky, the Boston Globe reported Saturday.

The National Enquirer reported that the former first daughter, 29, is tying the knot with Marc Mezvinsky, 31, in a secret 1-million dollar wedding this summer. However, a rep for the Clinton family has dismissed the rumours. "This report is false," Usmagazine.com quoted the rep, as saying.

The first hard evidence has emerged that Bill Clinton dreams of turning his family into a political dynasty along the lines of the Kennedys and the Bushes. While he says he will throw his support behind his wife Hillary if she takes the job of Secretary of State, it appears that it is their daughter Chelsea who he really wants to take on his political heritage. "She (Chelsea) is the best politician in our family," he said in an interview with the German celebrity magazine Bunte. "Hillary and I are very proud of her because she never tried to take...

Berlin - Former US president Bill Clinton said he would back his wife Hillary if she became secretary of state but has even bigger political hopes for their daughter Chelsea, in an interview released on Wednesday. "If (president-elect Barack) Obama offers it to her and she accepts I will support Hillary 100%," the 62-year-old Clinton told German celebrity magazine Bunte.

"She is the best politician in our family," he was quoted as saying. "Hillary and I are...

IT'S FULL-COURT LEHMAN PRESSBy BRUCE GOLDING Posted: 3:26 am September 20, 2008 A legion of lawyers descended on bankruptcy court yesterday to pick over the bones of Lehman Brothers after one of the biggest business bust-ups in US history.

Sarah Palin has been the GOP veep candidate less than 72 hours, and already the liberals have begun assaulting her family. Specifically, her CHILDREN. You've seen the vile rumor (that Gov. Palin was "covering up" an alleged teen pregnancy by her daughter). Remember years ago, when a young Chelsea Clinton was mocked by some irresponsible people in the press? Cries came from all across the political spectrum, "Leave the children alone!" Now, however, with the attacks on Bristol Palin, NOT A WORD of "leave her alone" from the same Democrats who were so outraged by Chelsea's treatment.

Excerpt - The Faulkner County Sheriff's Office and other local law enforcement have joined a search for a man from the Mount Vernon-Enola area who ran from Secret Service agents.

I found Kenny Chesney's tour bus in a shed.'" ~ snip ~ "He had a thing for Chelsea Clinton. I don't...

The souvenir vendors outside Hillary Clinton's campaign appearances have added a new badge to their wares that reads "Chelsea in 2016" with a picture of the former first daughter. Attention, whether from badge sellers or the national media, is leaving the fading presidential candidacy of Senator Hillary Clinton behind as the former front-runner faces what most see as impossible odds to win the Democratic nomination. Now in the spotlight is her rival, fellow Senator Barack Obama, who has solidified his lead among Democrats and is setting his sights on Republican candidate John McCain in the November election. While Mr Obama...

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was Manchester United's hero as Sir Alex Ferguson's side claimed the club's third European Cup with a penalty shoot-out win over Chelsea on a night of almost unbearable drama in Moscow. As many had predicted, the competition's first all-English final ended in penalties and ultimately it was van der Sar's full-length save from Nicolas Anelka that ensured United won the shoot-out 6-5 after the match had ended 1-1 after extra-time. The triumph ensured ensured a season that has seen United mark the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster ended with both the Premier League...

ABC News' Ed O'Keefe Reports: Perhaps there will be a Madame President Clinton after all. No, not Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y. How about former first daughter and active campaigner Chelsea Clinton?

Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., had a very casual conversation with women in North Carolina, Saturday morning, that offered little news value –- but was insightful to a more personal side to Clinton. One question Clinton was asked raised eyebrows. When asked if she would go all the way to the convention -– she said, “Well, I plan on going through the next contests -– West Virginia, Kentucky and others.” Clinton has previously said she plans to go all the way to the convention if Michigan and Florida are not settled. This may indicate a possible shift in thinking about how...

DOCUMENTS AT PAULVCLINTON.COM NOTE: thanks to caller Shannon for finally raising the issue. Unfortunately, Rush gave an answer that is gibberish. I'll give my comments after you read the transcript. First, however, let's go back in time to last year. A FReeper posted an old story of David Rosen being indicted, but the headline did not reflect that it was from the FR archives. Drudge posted it on his website and Rush picked it up, reading the story as if it were news. Drudge quickly dropped it from his site (I'll go find the screen shot), and Rush has...

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) — Muslim leaders on Sunday urged Malaysians to boycott a visit by English football giants Chelsea in protest at the move to let their Israeli coach and defender into the country.

"I agree that character is very important,"...

Chelsea Clinton was in town Friday night, and boy did she have a fabulous time! And why not: She hit all the gay bars in Center City, along with Ed Rendell and Rob Reiner. She even went to Tavern on Camac and Sisters! (Her pub crawl also included Woody's and Bump. What, no Uncle's?) When Chelsea was little, Rush Limbaugh called her ugly and everybody got mad at him. But nobody's calling Chelsea unattractive now. "Chelsea, the gays love you," shouted one gay person. "We love your highlights -- you're gorgeous baby!" said another, which prompted bisexual hottie Anne Dicker...

I was supposed to ask her questions like "where are you most likely to disagree with your mom or your dad?" or "did you ever call your mom at 3 am and how did she react?"

The Clintons are resisting the disclosure of a document that could help clarify the New York senator's claims that she was "instrumental" in Northern Ireland peacemaking. The document's unlikely author: Chelsea Clinton. As a Stanford University senior in 2001, the former First Daughter wrote a 150-page thesis on the subject. Her faculty adviser, Prof. Jack Rakove, has said that Chelsea spoke with her father "at some length" about the negotiations. But the Clinton camp has declined to make it public. Through Clinton aides, Chelsea has directed reporters to ask Stanford for the document. But Stanford says it doesn't have a...

She also noted another New Hampshire...

Right now the leftwing blogosphere is abuzz about another Hillary Clinton fib that threatens to overshadow her Bosnia sniper fire fairy tale. It has to do with her changing stories about what her daughter Chelsea was doing on the morning of 9/11 in New York. One version had Chelsea ducking inside a Starbucks near the World Trade Center when the attack began. That version was later ditched and Chelsea came out with her own version of what happened that day in first person article written for Talk Magazine. Since that story didn't go online, I purchased a copy of...

Hillary, why did you go to Bosnia? Posted: March 27, 2008 1:00 am Eastern As has become painfully normative, Hillary, the major media ask you all the wrong questions. The current controversy centers on whether you and your daughter, Chelsea, actually had to dodge sniper fire upon your landing at the airport in Tuzla in Bosnia on March 25, 1996. The photographic evidence seems to suggest otherwise. But sniper fire or not, as you and I both know, this really was risky business. As testament to how dangerous trips in and out of Bosnia could be, just nine days later,...
