Barabra Walters is out with her memoir, Audition. In it she provides insights into her relationship with Alan Greenspan and his chracter...
"How Alan Greenspan, a man who believes in the philosophy of little government...could end up becoming chairman of the greatest regulatory agency in the country is beyond me..."
...she had problems with Greenspan's frugality...he had a raincoat...he wore until it almost fell apart."He rarely remembered to pick up a check or buy a Christmas or Birthday card."

She did him too?..........
Greenspan: “Get off me, Baba!”
He had a raincoat...............did he FLASH you?
Dude, the ‘Span goes through aging hack reporterettes like they were Kleenex.
He is a government employee, you, BaBaH are a multimillionaire reporterette on a expense account. He didn't forget, he was not about to pick up the check and pay for your Chateau de Pin.
Is there anyone this woman didn’t sleep with? Now we finally know who Ann Nicole Smith was in competition with...
That's too gruesome to contemplate...
“He rarely remembered to pick up a check or buy a Christmas or Birthday card.”
Why would Baba think that Alan Greenspan shops for Christmas cards? I have a dear Jewish friend who is kind and wishes me Merry Christmas and Happy Easter, but she does not go out to the mall to buy Christmas cards to send to her Christian friends.
“He rarely remembered to pick up a check...
He is a government employee,...”
Sorry to disagree, but the federal reserve is not part of the government. It is a private institution and Greenspan was not a government employee.
BaBa woowoo was born to an atheist Jew
“How Alan Greenspan, a man who believes in the philosophy of little government...could end up becoming chairman of the greatest regulatory agency in the country is beyond me...”
Since when did commie-pinko libs start caring about big government?
Didn’t Greenspan marry another reporterette? Nbc’s Andrea Mitchell? Neither of these women were winners, and Greenspan could have done better.
In 1984, Greenspan began dating journalist Andrea Mitchell. Greenspan at the time was 58, and the also once divorced Mitchell was 20 years his junior at the age of 38. In 1997, they were married by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.[11]from Wiki
However, the real point of the post was that Barbara, a multi millionaire many times over, could easily write off on an expense account any dinner, or tab paid, while dinning with Mr. Greenspan.
To try and belittle him for not paying with his money, is a cheap shot at best.
But then the media loves to take cheap shots at anyone not deemed to be on their A list.
I have some Jewish neighbors, and while they don’t send us cards that say “Merry Christmas”,they do send us a card every year that says “Happy Holidays”. I don’t get offended by them saying Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas, although they could do that knowing that that is what we celebrate. We send them a card that says Happy Hannukah, but I think that it’s nice of them to send us a card at all, so we don’t make a big issue of it.
Baba’s also Jewish so I do not know what’s her beef with Greenspan,
I do not disagree with you there at all my FRiend.
Barbara’s cultivated veneer is just another load of celebrity hooey.
