Linda Ennis, a Clinton fan who drove more than an hour in hopes of glimpsing the former president and possibly the bride, seemed star-struck about Ms. Clinton. Like many here, she said she had watched Ms. Clinton grow up, then compared her grace to that of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
“She’s turned into such a beauty,” Ms. Ennis said.
“It’s royalty,” her friend, Arlene Newman, added. “It’s our royalty.”
The media has been very excited about Chelsea's wedding over the last several days. They are behaving as if they do not remember the circumstances of her dad's impeachment.
Chelsea's new father-in-law is a failed Dem politician AND a convicted felon...she should feel right at home in yet another dysfunctional family!

Ah, but they are ROYALTY, Jaycee. Royalty.
So such considerations that you mention are apparently not supposed to matter.

On the occasions when the sewer rooter guy works at their premises, he will find conditions exactly the same as at the premises of lesser folk.

What a crock. "American royalty". I thought that we fought the British a few hundred years ago to be free of royalty?
Some have suggested that Chelsea's wedding is just the kick-off of her political career....subsequently concluding as the first female POTUS. That is why so much is being made about her "royalty wedding". Yeah, the daughter of two career politicians who didn't have two dimes to rub together before entering the White House. Now, they are American royalty. Who's paying for this royalty wedding? Has Hillary ever paid off her presidential campaign debts?

Rest assured, that all of us have NOT forgotten the Clintons . . . or can easily brush-off the long-term-still-playing-out effects that Bill & Hill had on our lives.
The coverage was not as awful as it could have been. I did notice that the wedding pictures first popped up at CNN and HuffPo . . . then wafted out to the "lesser"/redder news outlets.

Ken, I agree, except he might find a much heavier volume.:)
Stormy, I did not know there was chatter about Chelsea going into politics. I suppose we might ultimately be treated to another "anointed one".
Mary, the irony is that Obama is, in the eyes of some, making Bill Clinton look much better by comparison. I wonder if there is a Clinton nostalgia movement gradually developing. Would Hillary challenge her boss in a primary in 2012?
