Future Chelsea Clinton In-Law in Jail

Rumors have been heating up that former first daughter Chelsea Clinton and her boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky are heading for the altar. If true, the father of the groom would likely be conspicuous by his absence – he’s behind bars.

Ed Mezvinsky, a former Iowa Congressman, was sentenced in January 2003 to nearly seven years in jail after pleading guilty to 31 fraud-related counts.

After leaving Congress, Mezvinsky, now 65, moved to the Philadelphia suburbs with his wife Marjorie, a former TV reporter who won a seat in Congress herself.

The Mezvinskys were friends of Bill and Hillary Clinton and were frequent guests at White House state dinners, ABC news reports.

Prosecutors said Mezvinsky, an international business deals broker, used his Clinton connections to convince people to hand over more than $10 million. Among his investors were friends, clients and even his mother-in-law.

At the same time, Mezvinsky himself was victimized by several Nigerian e-mail scams that cost him more than $3 million.

Federal prosecutor Bob Zauzmer told ABC’s "20/20” that Mezvinsky became the victim of "just about every different kind of Africa-based scam we’ve ever seen.

"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.”

In other words, greedy, unscrupulous and daft. You only get taken by the 419 people if you are a willing participant in what is, on it's face, a shady deal.

Several? Fool me once- shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Yeah, his wife's name I think was Magrery Margolies. I remember her under her maiden name. She adopted a little Vietnamese girl, thinking that she was never going to marry. She must have been pretty old when she had the son, because I'm pretty sure that she was ten years older than I.

Fits right in with the rest of the family : The Arkansas Grifters, the odious criminal Rodham brothers,and Roger Clinton.

I guess when you all who refuse to vote for Rudy elect Hillary, she can pardon them all.
