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.
