LOL.....yep it's not only one side of the political aisle that gets convicted.
Here....the man who could be Chelsey's future FIL was convicted.
lol - Friends with old bill and hill too. 
=========
from ABC Dec8th
Brian Ross and Joseph Rhee Report:
http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/12/father_of_chels.html
If reports are true that Chelsea Clinton and her boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky are considering marriage, the father of the groom won't be able to attend the wedding until he is released from prison in November 2008.
Ed Mezvinsky, a former Democratic Congressman from Iowa, is serving a seven-year sentence for fraud after getting caught up in a series of Nigerian e-mail scams.
Initially, Mezvinsky became the victim of "just about every different kind of African-based scam we've ever seen," federal prosecutor Bob Zauzmer told 20/20 for a report to be broadcast this evening.
But then, says Zauzmer, Mezvinsky began to steal from clients and even his own mother-in-law to raise the money to try yet another scheme.
"He was always looking for the home run. He was always trying to find the business deal that would make him as wealthy as all the people in his social circle," said Zauzmer.
After leaving Congress, Mezvinsky moved to Philadelphia's Main Line suburbs with his wife Marjorie Margolies, a former television reporter, who won a seat in Congress herself as a Democratic congresswomen from Pennsylvania.
"They were seen as people of means; they were a legitimate power couple," said Gar Joseph, a political columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News.
The Mezvinkskys were also close to Bill and Hillary Clinton and were frequent guests at White House state dinners.
Prosecutors say Mezvinsky used his connections to the Clintons and his son's social relationship with Chelsea to persuade people to give him money to participate in the scams.
Mezvinsky traveled to Nigeria numerous times and ultimately lost more than $3 million as a victim of the scammers.
Prosecutors say Mezvinsky fell particularly hard for what is known as the "black money" scam.
Victims are told millions of dollars have been coated with black ink so the money could be smuggled out of Nigeria.
The scammers then offer to sell a special, expensive chemical to remove the black ink so the currency can be used.
Prosecutors say Mezvinsky fell for at least three separate "black money" schemes that he thought would bring him millions.
Mezvinsky declined requests sent to him in prison to speak with ABC News and also instructed his lawyer not to speak with ABC News. His wife, Marjorie Margolies, declined to comment "in the interest of the children."
There is no evidence the Clintons knew of any illegal activity.
===============
Gotta love it. THREE TIMES he 'fell' for those scams. A little 'slow' and certainly not a genius by any means.
I also wonder IF he was one involved in all those SAME scams that a ton of EBAY users were getting emails from.

really? From what I've read of your posts...you have a 'different' way of 'reading' what's ACTUALLY stated.
No doubt you did in this case too.

EX Congressman, his son MAY marry Chelsey Clinton and if he does, SO WHAT? Who is Chelsey Clinton? Has she ever run for ANY public office? Has she EVER promised ANY member of the public ANYTHING? WHY isn't she entitled to HER PRIVACY? She is a grown woman who has done NOTHING to put herself in anyone's public spotlight? I don't get this.

LOL just pointing out that MORE friends of the clintons are STILL being convicted and sent to jail....just like so many were during his administration.
Birds of a feather...and all that.
"While the democratic party complains about everything THIS President does to protect our Nation": "What would a Democrat president have done at that point?"
"Apparently, the answer is: Sit back and wait for the next terrorist attack."

LOL LOL Linda, are you personally RESPONSIBLE for what your friends do? I am glad that I am not responsible for the actions of anyone other than myself. That must be a very heavy burden for you to carry. LOL LOL

responsible for it?
How ever said that? You're making things up now too???
Most who are friends with others KNOW them...know their character/ethics/value systems.
Again...birds of a feather in this case.
Thiefs like bill and hillary wouldn't find anything wrong with being friends with wealthy people who could help them out financially....and it appears they did.

To my knowledge Bill and Hillary Clinton have never been convicted of any crime? Are you aware of something that I am not?
If I remember my history correctly, it was a REPUBLICAN President, RICHARD MILLHOUSE NIXON, who was PARDONED of all crimes by sitting REPUBLICAN President GERALD FORD and Nixon retained THE PARDON, now didn't he?
WHY would a REPUBLICAN President need a pardon if he had not done anything wrong? Has DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON received a PRESIDENTIAL PARDON?
Since we are talking about birds of a feather and everything. LOL LOL

No, they weren't convicted....because they were FORCED to return all they'd STOLEN.
And taking the subject from individuals actions...lack of character...ethics...morals...values....to some new realm is not what's being discussed here. Trying to change the subject? I appears so.
Chelsey's potential FIL is THIEF....he STOLED from individuals....as did the clintons.

linduh's posts remind me of an old TV commercial for Car-X Mufflers....don't know if it was a national or local company but the slogan included "Rattle, rattle, thunder, clatter, boom, boom, boom" !!
Maybe she just needs a new muffler ??

dave - that's because this thread ISN'T about all the DEATHS of the clinton's opponents.
There was a long long list though. Funny how all those people were DROPPING like flies around them.
maybe another time. Like IF hillary actually does admit she's running

"Birds of a feather" equals guilt by association in Linda's mind.
That's why she agrees that all Republican senators are chasing teenaged boys. Birds of a feather. They're all Republicans, therefore they must all like the young guys!

My poor grammar is NOT the issue here mingotree.....nor is the fact that I'd rather have poor spelling and grammar than have people see me being anything like you.
A person who posts FALSE statements...that leads others to believe some falsehoods.
that's your 'claim to fame' here. Liar. Misrepresenter of FACTS.
Making false statements about what others think/feel/have said.
I pride myself on NOT being a LIAR like you are.

Yes, profe, I guess that is how I see 'friendships'
I seriously doubt that people pick friends whose values/morals/ethics are much different than their own.
I don't see bank robbers as being on my list from which I'd choose a 'friend'.
I think most people are like that. Those who find nothing wrong with taking advantage of others...or stealing...or whatever...will normally gravitate to those like minded.

And I also want to add....that I don't consider 'associates' being the same as 'friends'...or aquaintances.
Just as I didn't see the word usage 'posts' being the same as 'threads'.
Words DO have different meanings for a good reason.

Hauling out the "liar" card becuase she's running into opposition to her wacky views...losing arguments always starts linduh on the "liar" theme
You accuse me and accuse me linduh and not ONCE have you ever proven I've lied......that makes YOU the liar.
But keep screaming to cover up your weak and stupid arguments...I think everyone is used to it by now

What a ridiculous subject to bring up. Chelsea's possible future father-in-law? What possible effect would that have on anyone, even if it were true? This comes under the heading of gossip. How about Bush's DWI conviction in 1976? How about his buddy Ken Lay? Those are things to think about.

I never said any such thing.
Lowering yourself to mingo's level is so unattractive on one who wishes to have respect from others.
lol
