Who is really surprised by this...."criminals of a feather flock together."
Looks like the in-laws share a lot in common.

Oh my, how totally embarrassing can you get?

 

Who is Ed Mezvinsky???

 

Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky born January 17, 1937, is a former Democrat
congressman. As a Democrat, he represented Iowa's 1st congressional district
in the United States House of Representatives for two terms, from 1973 to
1977. He sat on the House Judiciary Committee. that decided the fate of
Richard Nixon. He and the Clintons were very politically intertwined for
years.

 

In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69
charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud.

Nearly $10 million was involved in ponzi schemes and Nigerian e-mail scams.

 

After serving five years in federal prison, he was released in April 2008.
He is expected to remain on federal probation until 2011, and still owes
$9.4 million in restitution to his victims. So who is he??? 

 

He is Chelsea Clinton's father-in-law. 

Has anyone heard mention of this in any of the media? 


If this guy was Jenna or Barbara Bush's, or better yet one of Sarah Palin's
daughters, father-in- law, the news would have replaced the oil spill.

 

And some say there is no double standard ... sure there isn't!!
