Clinton Wedding Is Leaving Some Feeling Left Out
New York Times ^ | July 24, 2010 | Ashley Parker

So, just what does it take to score an invitation to the hottest — not to mention most secretive — political wedding of the summer? More than a cross-country ride on a private jet, apparently.

“I’m good enough to borrow a plane from, but not good enough to be invited to the wedding?” complained one Clinton friend, who remembered the times he handed over his jet and his pilot to take Bill Clinton around the country but had not landed a coveted invitation to Chelsea Clinton’s nuptials.

Next Saturday, Ms. Clinton, 30, and her fiancé, Marc Mezvinsky, 32, are expected to marry in Rhinebeck, N.Y. But not everyone these days is feeling the love...the whole affair has left donors, supporters, aides and even true A-listers wondering just how inside the inner circle they really are.

“Would people who said they were close to the Clintons and not invited feel bad? Sure,” said Hank Sheinkopf, a political consultant who worked on Mr. Clinton’s presidential re-election in 1996 (and who, for the record, was not invited). But with the hindsight of 30 years in politics, he added: “It is dangerous to presume closeness to people in power, and it is very rare when there are real, unbreakable friendships.”...

Washington is a town that revolves around power and access to power, and Ms. Clinton’s wedding has inadvertently provided the chattering class with an imprecise — and, many say, inaccurate — measure of where they stand in Clintonworld....

Good point——should do a study-—probably find all of the dumbos who fell for the scam were Dems. LOL.

The MSM is going to absolutely soil itself over this wedding- I want them to be around a year later after she puts on 45 pounds and whinnies.

Got news for ya, "friend" -- they didn't borrow that plane because they liked you.

I was reminded of the 1993 Clinton budget deal, with its retroactive taxes, and of Marjorie Margolies Mezvinsky--who cast the deciding YEA, after having pledged to vote NAY.

That loose-lipped trick of hers got her thrown out of office.

That is what makes her stand out from the crowd.

I don’t recall W’s daughters wedding getting as near as much coverage...

Because it wasn't a political event...it was Jenna's wedding...as was the guest list.

Bushes have class...Bill and Hill are trash with cash.

I feel sorry for Chelsea... she is probably the biggest accomplishment of either parent.

I hope Hill has time to have her hair done before the wedding.

Will Linday Lohan make a surprise appearance to add to the excitement of the event?

No, the Housewives of New Jersey, especially the more wacky ones and Maybe Bubba would start to hit on them.

Now that would be excitement...:-)..

You would not be so flippant if your email and other site had been hacked by these crazy people. Mine was hacked and everybody on my email list received an email saying I was stranded down in London and needed money. I can not tell you how many emails, calls, messages I have received over this and I still can not get into my email account although it has been over a week. You do not know how many severe headaches this has brought on. I did nothing wrong, yet I am the one paying the price. I had a FB page and it, too was hacked and I had to start over again. Do you realize how many hours of my time, that has cost me? So, I am coming from the other side.

I guess Chelsea can invite who she wants to her own wedding. She’s the one getting married, not Bill and Hill. That aside, who the hell wants to waste an entire day with that unfortunate looking cow, her ball-busting mother and that revolting, gummy doughboy of a perv. Pathetic.

Falling for the same scam 3 times trying to make millions and not running a secure OS or up to date anti virus and getting phished is NOT the same thing. One is idiocy, the other a simple error of ignorance. I wish you a speedy recovery and new MAC so you won’t be hacked again.

Chelsea’s marrying into a Jewish family? I guess just SOME are Jew B___ards according to Hillary? But not anyone in this family.
