3fer: GREGORY's Fannie Mae wife. Tweety's queen hanging with Rethug wives. And OBAMA's Vulcan.

[UTUSN]

Why are the Rethug wives having a klatch about Jackie's cheapness at the Justice Department?!1 Are they looking for tips on permission for being cheap with class?!1 Shaving pennies off their household budgets while their hubbies run barefoot through our cash?!1 Plus, I've always smeared Tweety as a Rethug, but thought that Kathleen was sensible-----but she picked Tweety, didn't she?!1

AWKWARD LINKS

NBC is under fire for having correspondent Andrea Mitchell cover the economic crisis because she's married to former Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan - but some people are also wondering about David Gregory, who has a show, "Race for the White House" on MSNBC. Gregory is married to Beth Wilkinson - who until a month ago was general counsel, executive vice president and corporate secretary for mortgage giant Fannie Mae, which is now being investigated by the FBI. We wonder how Gregory will cover the story if his wife is implicated in the Fannie Mae meltdown.

JACKIE O: CHEAPSKATE

JACQUELINE Bouvier Kennedy was a penny-pincher, according to Barry Landau, author of "The President's Table." Jackie O had her White House majordomo serve expensive bottles of wine for the first course, but replace the empty bottles with a cheaper wine for the second course, Landau told a luncheon at the Justice Dept. in Washington, DC, the other day. "Jackie believed her guests wouldn't know the difference," said Landau, and she was right. "The elusive former first lady kept two sets of books - one for her own records, and one for JFK, who was always keeping an eye not to appear too rich." The lunch was hosted by New Yorker Susan Mukasey, wife of Attorney General Michael Mukasey, for 40 friends including Anna (wife of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben) Bernanke, Mary (wife of Sen. Jim) Bunning, Jane (wife of Supreme Court Chief Justice John) Roberts, and Kathleen (wife of Chris) Matthews.
