Peter Orszag has a love child!

[liberalpragmatist]

I have to admit, I didn't think he had it in him.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0110/NYPost_Orszag_love_child.html?showall

Some classic tabloid writing, and a serious dent in the geeky image of the director of the Office of Management and Budget, whose star has risen quite a bit over the last year:

President Obama’s budget guru has a secret love child — with the woman he jilted for his hot new fiance, The Post has learned.

White House budget director Peter Orszag’s ex, shipping heiress Claire Milonas, gave birth to little Tatiana Zoe in New York Nov. 17. That was just six weeks before Orzsag and ABC news babe Bianna Golodryga gleefully announced their engagement on national TV and in the press.

Orszag and Milonas, the daughter of New York-based Greek shipping magnate Spiros Milonas, were a serious item when he met the stunning Golodgryga at the White House correspondence dinner.

UPDATE: The joint statement from Orszag and his former girlfriend, Claire Milonas:

“We were in a committed relationship until the spring of 2009. In November, Claire gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Although we are no longer together, we are both thrilled she is happy and healthy, and we would hope that everyone will respect her privacy.”

The statement doesn't refer directly to his paternity and doesn't seem to anticipate her family's savaging him in the tabloids.

A source close to Orszag also denied the Post's assertion that he'd thrown Milonas over for his new fiancée, saying the second relationship began weeks after the first ended.

Congrats to both.

1. Seems kind of unsteady.

[FrenchieCat]

2. No comments...as it is not my business, and I don't have the inside scoop.

As long as both women appear to respect him, and he will be paying child support,
I'm done with this story.

After 9 weeks of Tiger Woods, I don't have anymore room for the dumbshit.
Not this year, anyways.

[vaberella]

3. I don't really care. He could have a harem---he's irrelevant.

His only importance is how well he does his job and I think he does it well, from what I've seen.

[LovinLife]

4. Ummmmmmmmmmm............... So. Everyone that's employeed by the government has to be married to

breed?

[Cha]

5. Life happens..that's a really loving joint

statement regarding the baby from the parents.

That's what tabloids do and the coporatemedia acts like they love to emulate them.

[jenmito]

6. Doesn't "love child" imply he was married and had a child with someone else?

Sounds like he was in a relationship with someone, she got pregnant, THEN he met someone else and moved on, (cheating on her AFTER she got pregnant), they broke up, and the woman had the baby. I don't think that classifies as a "love child." :shrug:

ETA: This line makes this whole story a NON-story: "A source close to Orszag also denied the Post's assertion that he'd thrown Milonas over for his new fiancée, saying the second relationship began weeks after the first ended."

[CTyankee]

10. Yep, doesn't that sound great?

I don't know what to think about this guy. I only hope he's paying for his own kid. As for that lovely Biyano Golandriga, what was she thinking? I hope she doesn't come running to us for pity when he does the same damn thing to her in years hence...repeat offender do repeat offenses...

[jenmito]

13. Did you miss this line?:

"A source close to Orszag also denied the Post's assertion that he'd thrown Milonas over for his new fiancée, saying the second relationship began weeks after the first ended."

[CTyankee]

36. Actually, I heard that today on Morning Joe.

I really hope that is true. I don't want to feel like Orszag is a bad guy, so perhaps I wasn't seeing the whole story...

[sad sally]

57. Let's hope he's paying for the two kids he has from his first marriage.

[saracat]

7. I was wondering how long it would take for this to leak.This has been known for s long time.

So even the dorky geeks play around! Seems all the DC folks are all alike.

[jenmito]

8. But he wasn't married when he got his girlfriend pregnant. He was WITH her. n/t

[saracat]

9. Soo ? All I said is this has been known for a while. And BTW, an out of wedlock baby isn't

something to be proud of. All indications were this couple was going to get hitched.And then they didn't.And he finds a replacement less than a month later.Whatever. It just doesn't "look good" no matter what the circumstances.

[jenmito]

11. It's not a "love child" like the OP states and they may have already been on the rocks when

he met the next woman. Far different from you-know-who. ;) And upon reading it again, Orszag said his relationship with his ex ended BEFORE he met his now-fiance.

[saracat]

14. And the reason to believe him is? Either way, it is not a good thing.

[jenmito]

15. Because he and his ex put out a joint statement so it doesn't seem that she

disagrees with him.

[CTyankee]

12. Sounds to me like he got a better chance with the new one and decided to take

his Main Chance. Women do that, too, so I can't say it is sexist.

You take the better chance to have at the time you have it, seems to be the ethic here.

Anybody who believes in faithful love in marriage, well, shut up and sit down...

[Xithras]

17. Stuck in the 1940's?

Nearly half of American babies are born out of wedlock, and by some estimates LESS than half of American children are born into marriages where the married couple are the biological parents. The stigma of an out-of-wedlock birth only lingers among bigots and conservatives.

[liberalpragmatist]

21. I'm not disapproving

I just found it amusing, because his love life sort of belies his geeky image.

[saracat]

28. Wow Actually, I am not "stuck" anywhere and I view it as a symbol of respect but whatever. .

You can disagree but it isn't just conservatives and bigots who think this is tacky.And wether the child born is the child of the biological parent is not at all relevant.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

44. Looks like there's a pretty big stick that's stuck somewhere.

[saracat]

45. Takes one to know one so you would be very aware, no doubt!

[KoKo]

53. Doesn't look good that he announced engagement six weeks after baby is born...

Surely he could have waited? It's unseemly that he's so cavalier. He already has a former wife and two other children. Doesn't seem to take much seriously. Not a comfortable thought since he's head of the Nations Budget in a very perilous time. Shows a lack of character. If he were a Repug in the Bush Administration and Budget Director, I imagine there would be many more questions. :shrug:

[Jennicut]

16. Only Rethugs care about the details of people's personal lives

Are we not above this?

[jenmito]

18. It's a non-story misrepresented by the title. n/t

[RepublicanElephant]

19. men. nt

:eyes:

[stevenleser]

20. But we're not going to be sexist, right? Particularly when women

dump guys in all kinds of circumstances all the time as well. If guys could get pregnant, then, yes, women would dump pregnant guys too.

[RepublicanElephant]

24. well, when that day comes, i'll say....

"women"

[stevenleser]

29. Clearly the concept and bigger picture went over your head. n/t

[RepublicanElephant]

31. dude...

...lighten-up!
:hippie:

[jberryhill]

22. "I didn't think he had it in him"

He didn't.

It was in his girlfriend.

Didn't Mom or Dad ever pull you aside for a quiet little chat when you were young?

[JI7]

23. they look ok together

[Blue_Tires]

35. that suit makes him look like a major tit -- WHY is that girl posing with a maître d'??

[vankuria]

51. Wow

This guy is getting some major "booty". Sorry if I offended anyone, but obviously beautiful women find him pretty awesome!

[JI7]

25. hot

[Arkana]

26. As long as he hasn't broken any laws or anything, this really shouldn't bother anyone.

Of course, we have the lamestream media, so it will.

[Enrique]

27. "love child" is a bit much

but I see it is the NY Post...

[Blasphemer]

30. Seems like a non-story to me. All the parties involved are obviously on amicable terms... nt

[Yavin4]

32. I Guess The Foiled Detroit Airplane Terrorist Story Gets Lost

Someone in DC actually had sex! We must investigate the sex story at once!

[uponit7771]

33. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CARES?!

[Vinca]

34. Oh, great. Another distraction for the MSM.

I bet Tiger's sending him a bottle of good champagne. I guess we're stuck unless a cute, blonde girl goes missing.

[mstinamotorcity]

37. This is not news

The man knows numbers its not like he can't count the number of months it takes to bring a child ito the world .His business is not our business.And broadcast news makes me sick when they start putting out stories about peoples children or even bringing attention to them for the public to ridicule.Get a life people.

[whistler162]

38. Hmmmm.... must be love for the "news babe".....

The shipping heiress, Claire Milonas, he jilted for his hot new fiance, ABC news babe Bianna Golodryga.

Or should we worry about his judgement!

[Myrina]

39. Seriously? A geek like him?

:shrug: Maybe there's hope for me to find someone, too, after all ...

[RoadRage]

41. Did you see the movie Juno? Geeks get laid too. :) Even Bill Gates once or twice.. LOL

[JI7]

42. many girls love geeks, but you have to accept and embrace it

and be confident with the girls.

[Hello_Kitty]

43. Meanwhile, women who are not conventionally attractive can hang it up. eom

[JI7]

46. no, the same applies to girls, look at Rielle Hunter who got Edwards

although she is a negative version.

[Hello_Kitty]

49. Rielle Hunter is conventionally attractive

White, blonde, slender. The only thing that puts her outside the paradigm is her *gasp!* advanced age.

[JI7]

52. nope, Elizabeth who has dark hair and isn't slender is a lot more attractive

than Rielle Hunter. and this is based on just looks. and i believe elizabeth is older than Rielle Hunter also yet she is still more attractive.

[Myrina]

47. Um, I'm a female geek.

:hi:

[JI7]

48. so am i

i like geeky guys better than what is usually thought of as attractive. i get turned off by guys who can't discuss political and other issues.

[Beacool]

40. Well, he's no stud muffin going by that pic.

He should lose the rug, for starters......

:7

[burning rain]

50. Knock your girlfriend up & run off down the road.

Truly a sign of excellent character on Mr. Orszag's part.

[dugaresa]

55. he doesn't have a guilty conscience because his love child's mother is a shipping heiress

no need to worry about a nasty battle over money. perhaps she is happy to be rid of him.

his track record so far is one broken marriage with two kids, a love child with a wealthy heiress and now he has moved on to a much younger TV anchor who he will soon marry.

[burning rain]

56. True. Money is everything.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

54. My only comment on Orzag --

lose the incredibly bad rug you are wearing -- I cringe everytime I see you. :scared:
