- Local newspapers enthralled but
unscrupulously ignore the local¹ connection² - Watch out for baby Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky – no seriously watch out
- Queen Mum sends message to her subjects
Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky was in town yesterday stumping for her mother before about one hundred people (that is all the loyalists and children capable of mouthing a planted question they could drum up for the celebrity princess). She took a break from her demanding job doing who knows what for hundred’s of thousands of dollars per year and of course the tribulations of ~~I come from poor “dead broke ” parents~~ and her $10 million NYC apartment.
Both the QCTimes and the Argus-Dispatch gave her appearance here glowing treatment, both front-of -section, top-of-page. We don’t remember relations of Republican presidential candidates getting such treatment. But given that it was Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky one would think it would have been appropriate to mention the local connection, her father-in-law is Ed Mezvinsky, Davenport’s former two term congressman from the mid-70’s. But that might have been embarrassing for Chelsea and the Clinton campaign. Ed Mezvinsky spent five years in federal prison (after he moved to Pennsylvania and fathered Marc, Chelsea’s spouse) for scamming people out of millions of dollars. It strains credulity that Marc’s mother, while not indicted, perhaps knew a little more then she let on.
Watch out for Charlotte
This may seem small, but seriously with the refinement she will receive from her royal lineage, both Mezvinsky and Clinton (be reminded here and here about gramma and grandpa)* if a few years down the road you are ever tempted to buy girl scout cookies from her, make sure you get a receipt. Just say’n.
We could be accused of being uncharitable but what is a prudent person too do? Besides, when it come to “charity” and a Clinton, keep in mind that with them the concept is just another scam opportunity. And now a message from the Queen (thanks to Dale C for bringing it to this subject’s attention).
As you know, my dear people, the last year for me has been an annus horribilus. The Royal House of Clinton has been tormented by questions about our handling of finances and subjected to tiresome questions about the tragic events in Benghazi – in the furthest regions of our empire. And, sadly, also questions about my Royal e-mails.
Nevertheless, I will not be daunted in my desire and commitment to serve you, the people. For the next eleveen months I will be traveling among you as one of you, to listen to your deepest longings and needs. I will be with you in your Wal-Marts and beside you in your Burger Kings. I will drive with you down the busy interstate highways of our land, sharing your poverty and streses of daily life.
How well I remember the days when the Duke of Arkansas and I were impoverished. After we were expelled from our Washington Palace we hardly had two mansions to rub together. We were so poor that we removed thousands of dollars of china, flatware, carpets and gifts from the Washington Palace just to survive. Shockingly, unscrupulous and ungrateful officials later forced us to return many of these treasures. Now, happily, benefactors from around our empire have given me just enough for us to scrape by.
During these difficult times, we had to cut back. When our daughter was married, we only had three million dollars to spend on her wedding. And, I remember our hopes, as she moved into her $10 million Manhattan apartment, that one day she would be able to move on from that humble abode to something more fitting. After working for MSNBC for a starting salary of a mere $600,000 per year, what else could she do? So I now pay her $3,000,000 a year to run the ‘Foundation’.
So, as I travel across our kingdom to meet you all, I will be listening and sharing with you. Then, when the time for the royal election (Coronation) comes, I know I can count on you to crown me as your rightful monarch, with my assurance that I will continue King Obama’s policies, and we can all live happily ever after.
Your Queen-in-Waiting,
Hilarity Rodham Clinton
