Sometimes people just like to create controversy even when there's no need. Who here really doesn't know what the "Mrs. Greenspan" schtick is all about?

If you really wanted to be snarky, you could toss off the old Let Me Google That For You...and when ya google "Mrs Greenspan" why, look what appears!!!

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Mrs+Greenspan

The term is not obscure, it's not "because she's a woman" (if she was Andy Mitchell, married to Elena Greenspan, both having the same careers, "Andy" would probably be called MISTER Greenspan), it's because she was a relatively obscure (in the big scheme of things) journalist who married an older and powerful government official and saw her career take off (a bit, anyway) as a consequence.

Barbara Walters (another GOP - friendly journalist) dated Greenspan for quite a while...she threw him back.
