Greenspan: Great banker, partymeister.

Saw the following via Wikipedia's society portal page. So, did you know "...that the former chairman of the US Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan was made a Freeman of the City of London, a tradition that permits him to be drunk and disorderly without having to fear arrest?"

Dear Alan. I humbly submit this request to watch you throw down to some monsta flava. Party with the 'Span? I am so there. Alan has quite the CV now: Banker, Knight of the British Empire,...chav?

    Unfortunately, the same wikipedia article says, "The benefit of immunity from prosecution for being drunk and incapable has long since disappeared, if indeed it ever existed."
