A Little Of The Old In And Out



In: Andrea Mitchell. 2008 certainly wasn't a banner year for the husband of the Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for NBC News. Alan Greenspan, former Fed Chief and one-half of the ultimate DC Power couple, admitted to a crisis in his holy belief in the inviolate nature of laissez-faire capitalism. But yesterday, his better half cashed in some chits to get an exclusive that will have major reverberations throughout the news cycle today. From TvNewser:

"NBC's Andrea Mitchell was first to report that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has withdrawn his nomination as Commerce Secretary. Richardson is citing a pending investigation into a company that has done business with his state as his reason for pulling his name from consideration.

"The AP confirmed the news 30 minutes after the report first aired on MSNBC."




Out: Harvey Weinstein. Pink, abrasive anger-junkie Harvey Weinstein, from out of the protective embrace of Disney, has been somewhat relegated, at least temporarily, to the pink sheets. From DeadlineHollywoodDaily:

"Back in 2007, Harvey Weinstein was boasting about Genius Products, the Santa Monica-based DVD distributor 70% owned by The Weinstein Co. That was then, and this is now. On December 24th, its shares were de-listed from the 'over-the-counter' board (OCTBB) to the pink sheets."


Oops.
