Mrs. Alan Greenspan is apparently running for Queen of the Village today, repeatedly insisting that President Obama's asking Americans to call their senators and representatives demanding compromise is some sort of partisan warfare that will only lead to "backlash" from Senate Republicans.

In other words, "Leaders shouldn't be harassed by constituents! They should just listen to people like me! Talking heads! Get out of the conversation, regular Americans—you're ruining it for the anointed!"

That right there, represents everything that is absolutely wrong with the culture of Washington, D.C. As Ilyse Hogue says,

1. She is an arrogant piece of work
And I can't stand to listen to her when she on the Sunday talk shows (which is like every week).

3. Yeah, I have a hard time listening to her
and the thought that she's sleeping with Alan Greenspan everynight is beyond "ewwwwwwwwwwww".

Has she had some work done (because she looks different to me)? I don't care, that's a person's own decision, but she just looks different and so I wanted to know if it was my imagination.

5. Actually I LOVE that she is sleeping with that fucking toad.
They are a match made for each other because no matter how hard she tries to stay "young on TV", she is wearing out like a bad set of tires and it shows more and more and more every week.

Who knows, between her and that garden troll husband of hers maybe they have unearthed the Anti-Dorian Gray portrait!

4. The other day Mitchell made a Democratic female House member (forgot who)
thank Boehner for having a House Chamber ladies room constructed. They were talking about something completely unrelated when Mitchell interrupted her and insisted she "Thank Leader Boehner for doing what women have been unable to accomplish." I'm paraphrasing but it was equally condescending and infuriating. I can't stand that woman.

7. I wonder if she thinks the corporations are silent when they want the
WH or congress to pass some bill? She is ridiculous - the people are supposed to stay silent while her husbands lobbyists and corporations and banksters can say anything they want.
