Greenspan Save the Queen, by the Sex Pistols

I knew something was fishy about the man (or fishy-and-chippy) the first time I saw him stumble out of a DC Guinness pub arm-in-arm with several red-faced Brits singing "God Save the Queen."

...Brown revealed something new about the honor that Greenspan received a day earlier when he was awarded the Freedom of the City of London with its ancient and arcane right to herd sheep across London bridge.

"As you know, yesterday he also became a freeman of the City of London and he has signed an oath of allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen to do so -- something as you know Americans have been reluctant to do for the last 250 years," Brown told a closing news conference.

Brown said he convinced Greenspan to do so by telling him that former U.S. Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Theodore Roosevelt also had taken similar oaths.
