An ex-boyfriend of Chelsea Clinton dedicated his first book to her and got two thumbs up from her father, the former U.S. president.
In "Elvis is Titanic," an account of his brief time spent teaching in Iraq, Ian Klaus proffers the dedication "To my mother and Chelsea, for understanding."
Klaus, 28, met Chelsea Clinton, 27, while both were at Oxford University in Britain and they dated about four years. She now has a new beau but Klaus is quiet on the subject of relationships, saying he's "enjoying my private life being private."
What's clear is Klaus still has a big fan in the Clinton family. Bill Clinton took time to send an e-mail to USA Today, gushing over him and his book.
"In 'Elvis Is Titanic,' Ian Klaus tells the extraordinary story of his time teaching in Iraqi Kurdistan," the ex-president said. "He shows how much very different people can learn from each other through shared experiences. A fine book by an exceptional young man."
I’m just SO impressed. not.
WOW!!! let us all fall on the floor from excitement and delight (extreme sarcasm).
Here comes the flood of “feel good” Clinton tripe...
Klaus always seemed like a stall tapper to me.
Just wondering whether “Elvis Is Titanic” is on Oprah’s nightstand yet, or if that will have to wait for after Labor Day.
Well, gee, unless you say something good about the daughter of an ex-impeached liberal/socialist/communist president, you’ll never get your book published by the liberal/socialist, communist publishers.
To view this in proper context, we need to put aside for the moment, the contents of the book (haven’t read it, probably never will) and the identity of the woman’s (presumed) father. The sins of the (assumed) father and mother should not be visited on Chelsea.
I think it’s nice that the author would do this. He probably still has feelings for her.
There was a time, had I written a book, that I would have dedicated it to a woman known as “the-one-that-got-away”. Specifically, because of the influence she had on my life.
I got on with my life and hope he does too.
...with a “wide stance”?
He was smart enough to let that one get away.
Elvis is Titanic?????? What the hell kind of title is that?
Wasn't he the one she was dating when all the drunk pictures of her were published?
Not sure what influence that had on his life, though.
Besides, mentioning her name & getting an endorsement from Slick might make the liberal fawners rush out to buy his book.
Bingo!! I saw a pic of the two of them and his outfit was much more coordinated and better accessorized than hers - it SCREAMED of teh gay!!!
Has Chelsea ever commented on her father’s use of a cigar on the child-intern? “Mmmmmm that tastes good.” bubba Clinton
They didn’t want to call it “The Life and Times of Howdy Doody.”

Wasn't he the one she was dating when all the drunk pictures of her were published?
Not this one anyway. The dude in this picture later offered Bill a herd of goats for his daughter. I am not making that up.
Oh it will be. Oprah will definitley be used to campaign for the Queen..
Chelsea: Not according to Dad!
Bring me a bucket, I need to hurl!
