Well the New York Observer comes through with the truth about Chelsea Clinton's name:
"The wedding will take place in Rhinebeck, New York, which is part of
Dutchess county, a dutchess being just what I would be if America had a proper
class system. Also, Rhinebeck is the birthplace of Rufus Wainwright, which
reminds me that I need to email him to get him to come and sing that Leonard
Cohen song Dad likes so much. Oh no, Mom is the one who likes "Hallelujah." The
one Dad likes is "Chelsea Hotel." He told me that's really how I got my name
(not Joni Mitchell's "Chelsea Mornings," another of Mom's "convenient
fictions"). He really likes the beds there. Maybe Rufus can sing that, too." (Source: New York Observer)
