saw Erin Burnett this afternoon in waitress like dress.
Her appetite for Dubai is back now that country’s economy is recovering (or is it?).But where was she when Dubai was swimming in bad publicity due to debt?
Sorry Erin my impression of you is like a gold digger.
GE is just using her to attract businesses in Middle East since GE itself has had bad publicity due to accounting fraud and this time unable to make NBCU profitable and up for sale.

My money’s on Martha.
The fight, though, is in general: a good thing.
