I would not doubt that's exactly their social scene. Power people. Movers and shakers. Predominantly GOPers and conservatives and financial tycoon-types, and their wives (and probably also girlfriends/mistresses).

My husband also just now quipped, while strolling by our TV (which was tuned to CNN): "calling Trump supporters 'psychopaths' does not qualify as name-calling"!

I LUV-LUV-LUV my guy! He's always thought-provoking!

I agree. You can see the color of Andrea's skin turn pea soup green at the mention of Hillary's name misterhighwasted Oct 2016 #2

I could see that n/t intrepidity Oct 2016 #3

Hubby might be right. But because of her husband she travels Greybnk48 Oct 2016 #4

Hell, in this day and age, it's kind of sad to think that this could be little more than calimary Oct 2016 #18

More likely both Greenspans don't like how Hillary criticized him when she was Sec of State wishstar Oct 2016 #22

AHA! Well, that could be it, as well. calimary Oct 2016 #24

At Hillary's tarmac press conference last month, Andrea had epic fail trying to upstage Hillary wishstar Oct 2016 #27

Before Andrea really, really embarrasses herself elmac Oct 2016 #23

More likely she's a rotten One Percenter like her husband Martin Eden Oct 2016 #25

Is Andrea just shallow enough... apcalc Oct 2016 #31

Ha, good mountain grammy Oct 2016 #32

Something sure put a bug up andrea's ass about Hillary and Cha Oct 2016 #33

Andrea seems to have the soul of Ann Coulter Angry Dragon Oct 2016 #34

Hillary pissed off Sally Quinn and her Washingtonian social set (including Mrs. Greenspan) lapucelle Oct 2016 #35

I think Mitchell is suffering from Maureen Dowd syndrome. kwassa Oct 2016 #36

No Surprise Here. Cheviteau Oct 2016 #37

Greenspan sure sandbagged Al Gore with those 2000 rate increases bucolic_frolic Oct 2016 #38

I really doubt it. I do think it's personal but nothing to do with husband..that's just silly nt Dream Girl Oct 2016 #39

Whatever the case, it's real personal for Andrea. She comes off as spiteful and petty. Hekate Oct 2016 #41

VERY spiteful and petty... but i can understand why she wouldn't retire - liberalla Oct 2016 #44

I agree with you ... JoePhilly Oct 2016 #45
