(62,325 posts)You are known by the company you keep, like or not. And both of them are public figures who epitomize the close ties of Wall St to all our institutions that are meant to serve the people HONESTLY.
The public has a right to know HER close connections to Wall St especially since she has 'reported' on stories that require a non-biased view.
I doubt she thinks of her husband as an asshole. I give her more, dubious to be sure, credit than to stay with someone she thinks is an asshole.
He is of course, his abuse of Brooksley Borne eg, a smart, actually brilliant woman who tried to warn him about the coming collapse unless he did something about the derivatives he was so in love with at time.
His treatment of that woman alone, not to mention all the rest of us who suffered the consequences of his Ayn Rand policies, says that he is an asshole. But Andrea appears to be quite happy with him.
No, she isn't using her own name because she thinks her husband is an asshole. She prefers that the public who have good reason to view him that way, not know the connection. I believe she is obliged, considering the role of trust she holds on the 'news' media to use her married name frankly.
