Why does Mrs. Greenspan get to ride in the inaugural parade?
Some interviewee let go with that little tidbit a few minutes ago on MSNBC.

1. he's ELITE
He's going to have his greasy fingers in anything that goes on with the economic decisions. And the dumbasses in Washington will *allow* it, because he admitted he *might* have made a mistake.

5. She was important to 2008 election cycle. If she hadn't helped protect Bush from 1999-2007, then

I doubt Obama would have even been able to run for president in 2008.

All the mediawhores who serviced Bush since he announced in 1999 will be patting themselves on the back to take credit one way or another for Bush's public demise by 2008 (as if they had been reporting his criminal actions all along), no matter how false and absurd their thinking.

6. Mitchell worked for NBC throughout her husband's tenure. So why did NBC ask Maria Shriver
to step down from her position when her husband became governor?

I see the Greenspan/Mitchell marriage, given her husband's influence over national policy, as much more of a conflict of interest than that of Ahnuld & Maria.

Why, can someone explain please???

Oh, that's right, even though married to a Repub., Shriver is a Democrat, so the ethics rules actually apply to her.
