Really? Do you really give a serious shit about Chelsea Clinton's wedding? Really?

Is that of great import or is it on a par with much of the low level crud peddled on Entertainment Tonight?

Personally, there is a very small chance that there are some things I care even less about.

It is something I honestly could give a lesser shit about.

is very familiar with Rheinbeck. Her mother took drawings lessons and made several paintings from the building Chelsea Clinton is getting married in. My wife remembers running around in the yard there waiting for her mother to finish up. On the NBC new last night there was a deli they were interviewing locals. We had eaten there early in a relationship (it had pretty good food at a good price). We were talking about it last night, but if her folks still lived up there, her dad probably would have found a way to be involved. He's one of those guys who always had his fingers in what was going on locally!

Oh. Nevermind! You were talking about the wedding itself!

:rofl:

The wedding when Princess Diana. Wealthy prominent people usually put on a very nice display fo just what you can do for your cdaughter on her wedding day, an Chelsea IS kinda the American version of Diana. At least in 2010 here in the US. Do I want hours on TV...NO! But I would like to see a little bit, and how things looked and the different ceremonies that were done. I guess it's sort of like how the other halp lives becasue I know I will never experience thes thigs first hand.

and missed the fact that Chelsea is getting married and I am so upset.

I can't keep up!

I just wonder how she is coping with out the vodka martinis...

She's an absolutely lovely young woman. But that doesn't mean I'm going to be glued to my TV all weekend long wanting every last detail of the event.

American idiots.

... and was treated so horribly by the right wing press. I wish her a wonderful wedding.

Will I pay any attention to "the details" surrounding it? I think not. If it weren't for DU I wouldn't even be aware of it.

didn't know the wedding was imminent until I started reading about it here.

I'm happy if struggling families in NY benefit from the shindig.

And no, I don't really give a serious shit.

I've admired Chelsea for quite some time-- but then again, I do sometimes watch television for entertainment, play computer games, and read graphic novels with little meat rather than spending all of my time on Matters of Great Import like so many here do.

As for the details of the wedding I never had any real care about it. If her or her parents have the ability to pay for the wedding then why not.

It is called being partisan versus principle.

We would hear how the bush's were 'elite' did not care about the little people, etc and so - from the same people who say now "We should thank the Clinton's for creating jobs"

was that their megalomaniac father started a war and it was INAPPROPRIATE to celebrate a wedding at the White House when soldiers were dying for our country.
I didn't care that they held it elsewhere or how much they spent--only that they not be disrespectful to the men and women dying in their daddy's war by dancing on the lawn of the White House.

throw lavish weddings, sweet sixteen birthday parties, etc. just so we can have a few crumbs thrown our way because they have been instrumental in shipping all the good paying jobs out of this Country. :puke:


We're suppose too be thankful for that? :argh:

I think the Bush family were a disgrace and really didn't want my tax dollars paying for that wedding.

I believe they had the wedding somewhere other than the White House.

Pretty keys...



Here! I'll put bells on them! Listen to them jangle...

:shrug:

I have always liked Chelsea.

I am not that interested in the social lives of the financial elite, my people are hungry and they are more in my thoughts.

Not in the least little bit.


edited to add:
But I simply CANNOT wait to watch the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton! I think I still have the taped copy of Princess Diana's wedding somewhere!

I like Chelsea. I always have. She's a great kid who never caused her parents a moment of anxiety, and who has consistently acted like a lady and she's sweet.

I will never forget how she acted when the news came out that Bill had lied to Hillary about Lewinsky. It was either the next day or just a few days after that when they were filmed leaving the Whitehouse to go on some holiday together. Chelsea walked between her parents holding their hands. She was like a mommy taking her kids' hands and walking them to the helicopter and she had her head up and was smiling that sweet smile of hers for the cameras. It made me cry then, and it made me choke up writing about it now.

And if we are going to give the concept of disparity a pass, what is it liberals really stand for?

:thumbsup:

I don't need to be derided either for noticing this manifestation of an unjust system. Its all our business:

are just using her wedding as an opportunity bash the Clintons.

Anyone watching HullabaLOU in Louisville?

Other than that I have no feelings either way.

I honestly couldn't care less.

Because only you asked the correct question.

Thank you.

I really don't care at all about it. It's a milestone in her life, not mine.

But I think that was about the level of most people's original comments.

Ironically, it was the vehemence of the Clinton's defenders that raised it to seeming to be such a big topic.

For example, if they had responded, "Yeah, oh well." instead of "How DARE you!?" or "It is STIMULATING the local economy!" then it wouldn't have seemed like people thought much of it.

I'm not sending a present. So there.

Besides, I'm sure I have something else planned for that day, whenever it is.

The right was willing to smear her. Given what the right says about family values and the Clintons, she should be living under a bridge snorting coke, and trading dirty needles for sex acts.

And yet she has defied them. Which I love.

But ... the main thing that caught my attention in all this ... was how angry some on DU got about it. That was a big surprise for me.

Makes me wonder what the threads would look like if Hillary has won ...

I'm guessing she'd be called a corporate shill ... and Bill was trying to wipe out the country ... so on.

So basically, I see the Chelsea story as more of a lightening rod for anger against the Bill and Hillary. Anger that has been hiding because Obama won.

I'm uncomfortable with media focus on peoples' personal lives unless there's a good reason for it; it's not my business otherwise.

and how good her arms look. Just another ridiculous of idiotic Americans worshiping celebrities (and politicians as well, which sucks because they should never be worshiped) as a way of avoiding looking up from the TV and realizing how their lifestyle is totally fucked.

probably the most insignificant 'news' story for me.

Her father signed DOMA in to law and stopped millions of loving couples from getting the rights they deserve. I wish her well, but I couldn't care less about her wedding.

Give them numbers and make them wear jerseys with the corporate logos of their biggest donors.

List the amount they get from donors and the bills they vote on that benefit the donors.

Make them sign a contract to serve and exile them permanently if they violate it.

Screw the drama and show biz. We've got serious matters to address and people suffering.
