Andrea Mitchell's name is Andrea Mitchell

[ecstatic]

155. I call her Andrea Mitchell but I think this OP is one opinion of many

I wish you had gone into more detail to explain your point of view because I want to understand but I am not sure which reference point you're coming from.

The greenspan stuff is before my time, but my understanding is that Greenspan is used as a guilt by association insult due to her association with Alan Greenspan who happens to be her husband. I think the nickname would have been used whether he was her brother father or whoever because it's the nearest scandal to her, and yes maybe it was lazy as far as insults go, but I think most insults are. People don't grab an encyclopedia and thoughtfully come up with the most appropriate insult.

In my opinion, the way you can tell that it's a lazy insult but not necessarily sexist is that no other republican or right leaning women are referred to that way. That should give a clue that it's not about lowering her status to just a wife (if that's what the issue is?), but about venting about two people at once. Like Jarvanka. Is that sexist? Again, jmo.
