Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton, 29, and her longtime boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky, 32, have notified their friends of their engagement.
The couple has a lot in common. Mezvinsky is the son of former U.S. Rep. Ed Mezvinsky and former Rep. Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinksy, both Democrats. Dad, who represented Iowa’s 1st CD for two terms in the 1970‘s, is a convicted felon who pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 charges of white collar crimes involving bank, wire and mail fraud, resulting in a bit of time in prison. He was sentenced to 80 months for the crimes which totaled nearly $10 million.
Shortly after his indictment, Mezvinsky was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but the judge at his trial disallowed a mental illness defense, although many believe that liberalism is a mental disorder.
Mom Mezvinsky, a former television journalist, served one term in Congress in the mid-90‘s. In 2000, she was running for the Democrat nomination for the U.S. Senate when hubby Ed’s business problems forced them to file for bankruptcy and caused her abrupt withdrawal from the campaign.
Chelsea’s family history is better known. Her Dad, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, is the infamous impeached former president, disbarred for lying to a grand jury and suborning perjury in relationship to his womanizing exploits.
Mom Hillary was a U.S. Senator representing the people of New York, although she never previously lived there. Also an accomplished liar, she ran for President of the U.S. and was bested by Barack Obama, for whom she now works as Secretary of State.
One plus: The engaged couple will never be able to knock one another’s family without taking a time out and calling it a draw.
