It appears that former first daughter Chelsea Clinton is now engaged to longtime boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky.  Chelsea, now 29, practically grew up in public, as her father had two terms in office during her youth.  Ultimately, she attended Stanford, much to the dismay of her mom, and current Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.  Hillary would have preferred Chelsea to stay in DC and attend Georgetown.

So who is this dude Mezvinsky?  He’s an investment banker and the son of Ed Mezvinsky, D-Iowa and Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, D-Pa.  Chelsea and Marc both attended Stanford University where presumably they began dating.  Chelsea is the sole child of former president Bill Clinton and current Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

It was rumored that the couple were to tie the knot last summer in Martha’s Vineyard but that obviously was premature.  They are planning to wed next summer, according to emails sent to family and friends.

This Mezvinsky guy works at Goldman Sachs, you know, that company that’s sucking the blood out of this country right now.  It appears that although his parents are both former members of Congress, they didn’t leave gracefully. In 2002, his father pleaded guilty to swindling dozens of investors out of $10 million after getting caught up in a Nigerian scam.  Hmmm, so the pedigree to screw others is in the blood.  I guess Marc works in the right place, so that he can do the same thing in theory, but with the protection of his firm.

Marc’s mother lost her seat in a conservative congressional district after one term in part because she chose to vote for President Clinton’s health care reform.  She’s probably not feeling too good right now.  Wrong place and wrong time to have voted for that health care reform.  It’s all the rage now.

Anyway, back to the two love birds.  They became friends as teenagers in Washington and both attended Stanford University. Both now live in New York, where Mezvinsky works at Goldman Sucks and Clinton is attending graduate school at Columbia University’s School of Public Health.
