We know weddings are a way of showing off but Mr. and Ms. Slickster may be going too far. Boomers flaunt their bad taste and we can see the zillion-dollar ceremony full of it -- the Beltway mafiosi flaunting their ugliest garb as though wearing leisure suits, the Slicksters FLYYYYYYYYYYING in Lord Elton to sing the musical equivalent of Sweet 'n Low, and FLYYYYYYYYYYING in Placido to sing "Perhaps Love" (how about with Lord Elton!); and we've no doubt the ceremony proper will be cloyingly PC to the NTH, with greeting-card poesy and all manner of skirting the fact that a man and a woman are marrying, and that there might be a God. As for the reception, it will be zillionaire slobs trying to act civilized. We could understand if the bride were a raging beauty (PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!!!!!) and the groom were handsome, or even powerful, but somehow we cannot skirt the fact that the betrothed are descended from an impeached president and a convicted felon, and that a big point of the exercise is to create a dynasty that may not take. Worse it's just another way for the RULING CLASS to mock the plebeians, and it doubly stings when so many are unemployed. Or as their distant relation Marie Antoinette could have said -- LET THEM EAT WEDDING CAKE!
