Thank Gramm for the subprime disaster. He let the bank deregulation that made it possible.
And McCain considers him an advisor.

If Cheney can have closed door sessions with the Oil companies to write the energy policy,

why could you possibly object to foreign lobbyists writting our monetary policy ?

Well, I guess we can scratch Gramm’s name off the list of potential veeps for McCain.

Johnnie Boy sure put together one hell of a campaign team. Gee, one can only imagine how his WH will look. Any different from the Bush WH?

They’re afraid of being indicted. That’s the type of people that McSame hangs out with. Think about that every time you hear him say “My friends….”

Thank Phil Gramm for the high gasoline prices we are paying. This clown slid in a provision (in the dead of the night, natch) in a spending bill in 2000 that paved the way for total deregulation of the commodity market. He enabled Enron to get away with all the illegalities that they did.

He is the most disgusting individual I have ever had the chance to meet. Yes, I knew him when I worked in DC and he was obnoxious–huge ego–and greedy and sneaky,too.

When he first arrived in the House of Reps. in the early 80’s–(I’m not kidding) he told the leadership that he was a “world renown” economist and he should be named chairman of Ways and Means or the Budget Committee. If I hadn’t been standing a few feet away, I wouldn’t have believed it. The man is repugnant.

Lay-Dees an’ Gennemuns, Listen UP!
The fix is in.
it doesn’t matter what crap you can gin up about Bombin’ Johnnie, he’s gonna be # 44.
What ELSE do you think those 90-plus US Attorneys–the ones who DIDN’T get fired for not being partisan enough–have been doing this last 8 years? Playing cards?
The fix is in, the cards are marked and stacked, the dice are shaved and loaded, the wheel’s rigged, the dealer cheats and the boss wants it that way.

And don’t forget this other little factoid: Gramm is a long-time Texas politician (originally as a Dem, then a Repug) and was a close friend of Dubya’s direct sperm donor, HW.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has repeatedly said he relies on his economic advisers, including former senator Phil Gramm — “McCain’s econ brain” — to make up for his lack of experience on economic issues. “I would rely on the circle that I have developed over many years of people like…Phil Gramm,” he said in February.

McCain’s lack of understanding of economic issues is matched only by his lack of understanding of foreign policy issues. So he ends up relying on crooks and morons to advise him. Sound like someone we already know?

The repeal of Glass-Steagall fostered by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (snuck into the budget bill in 99, IIRC) will be seen by future histories as the cause of the Greater Depression. Media will ascribe all blame to the coming Obama admin.

Gramm, and his wife, Enron Wendy, should spend a lifetime in orange jumpsuits with “kick me” (or other verbs) signs permanently affixed.
