Could it be because the grand dame of the program Barbara Walters used to date the wily former fed chairman? Yes, our sources say, and Mitchell apparently doesn’t allow her hubby to be alone in the same room with Walters anymore. It made for quite awkward TV, with the elder Greenspan sitting between the two taut news ladies — not knowing which one to look at when he was talking. Mitchell, in fact, ended up chatting more than Greenspan, at one point saying that she likes to stay in bed with him as long as possible. Um, that’s hot?

“Ever wonder how Alan Greenspan managed to land a much younger babe like Andrea Mitchell?” the Reliable Source asks today. Um! We take issue with the premise of that question. The NBC correspondent referred to as a “much younger babe” has got to be a tongue-in-cheek joke, right? Like one of Perez Hilton’s backhanded compliments to the Olsen twins? Either that, or the column’s writers, Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts, are doing some major suckage of Mitchell’s dried up teats to try to get some dirty milk.

reddit | facebook | del.icio.us | stumble | permalinkDoes NBC foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell have to mash up her hubby’s food and feed it to him, too? We all know ex-Federal Reserve chairman and current retiree Alan Greenspan is pretty damn old, but he doesn’t have to tell us about it! According to a new Business Week article, he drives like a little old lady and wrote the bulk of his upcoming book, The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World, while “in the bathtub.” We presume he didn’t want to risk standing for fear of slipping and breaking a hip.
It’s well-known that Andrea Mitchell has always wanted a higher profile within the NBC news division, and sources tell BHDC that the timing is right, if quite a few dominoes fall into place.
Mitchell is expected to be called by the Scooter Libby defense team today to explain why she said more than once that Valerie Plame’s identity was “widely known” even before Robert Novak’s infamous column was published, which outed Plame.
Oddly, Mitchell said later that that she didn’t know how to explain her comments. But Why would a top-notch reporter like Mitchell suddenly become foggy on such a key question?
One possibility: Libby has said that Tim Russert told him in July 2003 that “all the reporters know” Plame worked for the CIA. But Russert says that’s not true because he didn’t know who Plame was at the time.
Observers are questioning whether Mitchell received the information from her boss, Russert, which would she may have been compelled to cover tracks for him.
If Little Russ ends up in the slammer, Mitchell’s seniority at the network could help her become moderator of Meet the Press. A long shot, but let’s see how this plays out, shall we?

She agreed with Joe.
“Getting corrected on every point tonight,” Matthews concluded.
