The only time I have ever seen them with ordinary, everyday black people is for some photo op. Come to think of it, they are never around any ordinary, everyday white people.

Have you ever noticed that all Dims claiming to be of, by, and for the little people are always hobnobbing with the ultra-rich? And, are ultra-rich, themselves.

It's funny. Every former first couple manages to be in the same room together more than twice a year. However, these two, who the press is always trying to represent as being deeply in love, have to be introduced to each other each time they are in the same room.

It's not the place to be in winter:
"Martha's Vineyard in winter is something else: Highest unemployment in the State; Lowest median income, and one of the lowest per capita incomes in the State; 1 out of 5 families below poverty level; 1 out of 4 families affected by drug or alcohol abuse; 509 single-parent families--the highest ratio in the State--many in poverty;"

But the Summer residents could care less, they are elsewhere when the cold hits.

I thought Chel was getting marrried? Where is her intended? Is he getting his eyes and head examined?

[ozone1]

Do they hide the ashtrays first?

[ozone1]

The beer goggles must have worn off.

[Paul Atreides]

Have you ever seen her "betrothed"? He looks as if Chelsea could break him in half. He has that same ratty hairdo as Chelsea and looks like Peter Brady. It would be interesting to see Daddy's reaction if he treats Chelsea like Bubba treats Hill.

[Paul Atreides]

Yep. As well as the used cigars.

"Ken Iscol, a 1960 Cornell alumnus, was a leader in the development of the Personal Enterprise and Small Business Management Program and a founder of the Center for the Environment at Cornell. Jill Iscol manages the family's foundation and is an educator and sociologist. Most recently, she managed the New York senatorial campaign of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Their children, Zach '01 and Kiva '03, are both Cornellians.

Said Jill Iscol: "With our own contributions, we try to combine our commitment to supporting institutions that have given so much to us with our interest in tackling social problems and fairness and equity issues. We believe these kinds of partnerships are an efficient and effective way to leverage human and financial resources."

Yes, Jill is very concerned about social problems and equity issues, yet she owns a home on the Vinyard, far away from any troubling humans....LOL!

"Rich said the location of the Iscol house should help security arrangements for the visit.

"It's well away from any public way," he said. "If you can see the house, you're trespassing."

[Paul Atreides]

Wasn't life beautiful, before those three people became a horrible fixture in the American conscience?

The Iscol family is listed on the Lincoln Bed room List.

[Howlin]

I'd *love* to get through a day without hearing about them, but, alas, they aren't going to let me have it!

[Howlin]

God save us from these vile people.

"Jill Iscol is the President of Jill Iscol & Associates, a newly formed independent consulting firm that advises not-for-profit organizations and philanthropists. She has demonstrated her lifelong commitment to education, social and economic justice, child and family policy and social change by serving as trustee for numerous organizations.

In addition, she serves on the Executive Council of the Northeast Chapter of the Women's Leadership Forum of the Democratic National Committee and is a contributor to the Progressive Policy Institute of the Democratic Leadership Council. She recently worked as an informal advisor to Hillary Rodham Clinton's senatorial campaign.

In 1997, Jill was appointed chairperson of the Annual Family Re-Union Conference in Tennessee, a post she held for three years. This highly productive conference, led by Vice President Al Gore, generated nationwide interagency networks and partnerships to promote family policy goals. Most recently Jill was a member of the planning committee for the White House Conference on Philanthropy.

Jill received her doctorate from Teachers College, Columbia University and a masters in philosophy in Sociology from Yale. She is a former member of the graduate faculty at Bank Street College and was co-director of the pre-service program in childhood education at Teachers College, Columbia University. "

"Last summer, they visited the Iscols' house for a ceremony honoring Zachary Iscol, who joined the Marines as an officer and now is a second lieutenant."

Guess he had to run away to the Marines to get away from these people. I'll give him credit.

[Paul Atreides]

Who would have thought that something like this would be at Martha's Vineyard, sponging of the rich and brainless.

[genefromjersey]

Come on ! Lighten up a bit !

Ted Kennedy will maybe drop by and give them swimming lessons .

[Paul Atreides]

I bet they wouldn't leave the daughter alone in the same room with Bubba for a second.

[Paul Atreides]

I wish he would just drop ON them.

[ozone1]

She's an equestrian rider, so she's used to horses.
