Clinton dishes on Chelsea wedding to Chinese TV (Politico 5/26/10)	Permalink

http://www.politico.com/blogs/laurarozen/0510/Clinton_dishes_on_Chelsea_wedding_to_Chinese_TV.html Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warmed up for interviews with Chinese television, in one of the lighter moments of an Asia trip dominated by mounting tensions on the Korean peninsula. In Beijing with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner for the U.S.-China Strategic Dialogue, Clinton told China’s Central Television Monday that daughter Chelsea’s upcoming wedding “is the most important activity going on in my life now.” “We are looking forward to it,” Clinton said of the upcoming wedding, via the AP. “It is something that every mother dreams of. And so for me it’s … the most important activity going on in my life now, I have to confess. Don’t tell anybody that but it is such an enjoyable and exciting time for our family.” Clinton also explained the concept of a bridal shower to the television audience. “It is not where you go in and have a shower, it is where friends of the bride and family come together and you give gifts to the bride and you tell stories and you show pictures of when she was a little girl.” Clinton and Geithner also opened up in an interview with China’s Phoenix TV, discussing living life in the public eye, facing criticism, and husband Bill’s taste in movies. “Well, we have an ongoing negotiation, because my husband prefers the action movies,” Clinton said. “That’s a surprise,” Geithner, sitting beside her in the interview, said. “The more violence, the better,” Clinton continued. “And I don’t find that relaxing at all. … So we take turns. And when I go to one of his movies, I shut my eyes a lot, and listen to the music and the soundtrack. And when he goes to one of my movies, he falls asleep a lot. So it works out pretty well for us.” Clinton also says she doesn’t miss life in the White House. “I don’t really miss living at the White House, because I had eight years living there, which I am very honored to have had,” Clinton said later in the interview. “I miss the people who work there, they are wonderful people. And I love going to events now at the White House. But that time is over.” Clinton said her 90 year old mother lives with them in Washington. Clinton was in South Korea Wednesday, where she offered U.S. support for Seoul. South Korea wants the U.N. Security Council to take up the issue of sanctioning North Korea for sinking the South Korean naval vessel the Cheonan in March; China has not yet agreed, Clinton acknowledged Wednesday. Clinton is flying back to Washington Wednesday, and is due to roll out the Obama administration’s new National Security Strategy Thursday at the Brookings Institution. __________________ Nobody puts THIS baby in the corner!
