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 Iowa Congressman, is serving a seven-year sentence for fraud after getting caught up in a series of Nigerian e-mail scams.

None of us should be at all surprised at this turn of events.

Sorry for the dupe-- searched on Chelsea and Nigeria, nothing came up.
Funny anyway. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

So the only difference in the boyfriend's father and Chelsea's father is that the former is actually in prison, while the latter has skated.

Chelsea comes by her taste for grifters naturally, I guess.

Dad fell for Nigerian "black money" scams THREE separate times?

Father of Marc Mezvinsky's girlfriend should be in prison for fraud, scams, perjury, and selling military secrets to China.

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.
How does someone this stupid remember to breathe every few seconds? He fell for it three times.

Yes, there are those Hubbell lips on that ugly Chelsea face, but legally Bill is the father because the birth certificate says so. Without a paternity/DNA test, Bill will always be the good father even though she resembles Web.

Did you have to use the word 'taste' in reference to a Clinton?
