    Whiners Beware! Phil Gramm Is Back!

    Posted:
    08/15/08
    It doesn't seem to matter what mode of transportation John McCain throws Phil Gramm under, the former chief economic adviser and diagnoser of a whiny nation's "psychological" recession just keeps coming back. From WSJ Online:
    Ousted John McCain campaign co-chairman Phil Gramm is back with the campaign's top advisers this weekend, as the campaign gathers top supporters for a series of briefings in scenic Aspen, Colo.
    And McCain still loves him:
    At a dinner this evening, Sen. McCain singled out Gramm, among others, for particular thanks. "Phil Gramm and I and Wendy (Gramm) and Cindy and I go back many, many years, and I'm always grateful to see my friend, Phil Gramm. Thank you, Phil, for all your friendship and support."
    Gramm may be known to most as a "gaffe celebrity," but his real claim to fame is as the architect of the "Enron Loophole," and by extension, our current gas crisis. You know, the one that McCain wants to solve with "psychologically effective" offshore drilling. Wait, are these guys using Professor Harold Hill's "Think Method?"
