Joey Ramone is rolling over in his grave.
In lawsuits filed in Delaware and New York, former Fox News producer Abby Grossberg says she was coached to lie in the Dominion defamation suit, and that she and Maria Bartiromo were being set up to take the fall. Fox execs, she claimed, ordered her to spy on Bartiromo, whom one called “crazy,” “menopausal” and “hysterical,” while another described her as a “diva.” A third called Bartiromo a “crazy bitch.”
Joey Ramone was a big fan of Bartiromo before his death in 2001. Of course, back then she was still a Wall Street reporter for CNBC, not the Trump-humping harridan she became on Fox. He started emailing her in 1998 for stock advice, and Bartiromo said she thought it wasn’t the real Joey Ramone until he invited her to CBGBs to hear the song he wrote about her.
If you thought he was spoofing the Money Honey, you don’t know Joey Ramone. Bartiromo said they struck up a friendship, and he was quite knowledgeable about his portfolio. The song appeared on his posthumously released solo album, 2002’s “Don’t Worry About Me.”
