Just a little "dish": Bill Clinton throws a book party for Chelsea's former boyfriend...
and Chelsea and her new boyfriend attend --

WP: 'Elvis Is Titanic' When Bill Clinton Helps Launch a Book

Chelsea Clinton lends her support to former beau Ian Klaus at his book party in Manhattan yesterday. Her current boyfriend also attended. (By Helayne Seidman For The Washington Post)

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 -- "Well," said Ian Klaus, with a thoroughly convincing gee-gosh smile, "I guess I'm just really lucky to have the support of a lot of wonderful people."

Do you think? When he uttered this epic understatement Wednesday night, Klaus was at the center of a clattering party thrown for him by Bill Clinton, amid a crowd of several hundred friends and gawkers at a haute-Indian restaurant called Tabla. Everything about the moment said, You've done it, my boy, you've done it.

The event: a party for Klaus's first book, "Elvis Is Titanic," an account of the semester he spent in 2005 teaching English to kids in Iraqi Kurdistan. The hors d'oeuvres: fab. The drinks: lemon grass-infused pineapple juice with citrus vodka, a.k.a. Tablatinis. (Also fab.) The room: like the marble foyer of a bank. The temperature: a little warm. The book: free. The reviews: positive, if the former president of the United States is any judge....

***

Let's look at the dedication page for a clue, shall we? "To my mother and Chelsea, for understanding."....There she is, Chelsea Clinton, as we live and breathe, in a long black dress, looking soooo grown up and sipping a glass of red wine, and asking polite questions of some gray-haired professor, who looks utterly charmed. Chelsea, under some surprisingly heavy mascara, whose voice sounds amazingly like her mom's. Which makes you realize -- Chelsea can speak.

Of course, the former (and maybe future) first daughter dated the talented Mr. Klaus for three years. It ended in 2005, but the two have pulled off the hardest maneuver in the X Games of love, the post-relationship relationship. Why, Chelsea even brought her new boyfriend, Marc Mezvinsky, an underdressed, wet-haired Goldman Sachs investment dude in a V-neck sweater, with a very welcoming grin. And there's Chelsea, warmly greeting Klaus. And there's Mezvinsky, giving a gracious man-hug to Klaus. Everything's cool!...

2. Well even the Hillary haters
they ones jealous over the fact she starting to really beat the pants off their candidate have to admit. Hillary did a damn good job of raising her daughter. Not like the piece of crap twins, running all over the country, drinking drugging and breaking the law. Oh I forgot the best running part - thru a hotel hallway nakid.

4. I hope you're not implying I'm a "Hillary Hater"...She isn't my first choice
but if she's the nominee I will certainly vote for her.
