Rising Hegemon
Lavish spending on weddings is IMO disgusting enough, but add the media dry-humping themselves into a frenzy over it is just more poisonous grist for the vomit-inducing mill.
There is, however, one nice thing about Chelsea Clinton's nuptials to report (and it's all I'm going to report):
WaPo's Sally Quinn is out of the wedding writing business. And it looks as though she won't get a chance to revive the genre anytime soon.
This morning Quinn told MSNBC's dayside anchor Tamron Hall that she and her hubby, Ben Bradlee, are not invited to what's turning out to be the royal event of the year - Chelsea Clinton's wedding. She blushed as she said between clenched teeth "We're not close to the Clintons." All the while, she offered a hard smile.
She'll just have to settle for making the help work overtime on the weekend cooking, serving, cleaning and carrying them to bed from wherever they've passed out this time -- under threat of turning them in to the INS.

WTF did she expect? She called 'em white trash scumbags.
Ha!
I'm actually wondering how much of the cost of the wedding is on flowers and hall rental and whatnot, and how much of it is on keeping out paparazzi and gatecrashers. Because you know Sally is just *dying* to get in.
poor Sally not invited to the "event of the summer"... but you know she'll squeeze out several pissy columns anyway.
Oh, SNAP!
It's especially galling for Sally and Ben because Lucianne Goldberg, Linda Tripp and Kenneth Starr were invited but declined.
/schadenfreude off/

I hate this shit - "royal wedding". Sometimes I wish we had a goddamn figurehead king so that the monarchists in our midst could have someone to properly worship and would get out of politics. Probably wouldn't work though.
But making Sally Quinn cry almost - but not quite - makes up for it.
Oh, dear, the Queen of Versailles on the Potomac has been snubbed! Wars have been started for less!
Do I hear the sound of crayons being sharpened?
Never evolved past high school.
And there will be paybacks!
but has modo been invited?
Of course she's upset, and probably shocked, that she and her husband weren't invited. After all, the wedding is for the press, and not for, oh, say, Chelsea Clinton and her husband.
