Man learns casino losses not deductible
BRUSSELS, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday she is thrilled about the engagement of her daughter, Chelsea.
But she told CNN planning a wedding is "daunting" when she has a job that keeps her on the move.
Chelsea Clinton announced her engagement this week to Marc Mezvinsky. He is the son of two former congressional representatives, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, D-Pa., and Ed Mezvinsky, D-Iowa, and he and Chelsea met when she was living in the White House.
Her mother was interviewed in Brussels, where she was trying to build support for President Obama's Afghanistan troop buildup among the allies in NATO.
"I am officially an MOTB: a mother of the bride," Clinton said. "And I am very excited about it."
She said Madeline Albright, the first woman to serve as secretary of state, had been encouraging.
"Madeline Albright called me the other night and said, 'Well, when I was secretary of state and had not a minute to myself, I had to plan a wedding, so if you need any advice, just call me,'" Clinton told CNN. "And I said, "I'll be calling.'"
