Back by McLame's side? Why isn't this crooked scum bag being investigated? In fact, why isn't McLame being investigated for his part in the Keating 5 scandal, and being surrounded by crooked lobbyists who run his campaign? Some system of justice we have in Amerika! Phil Gramm! Back by McLame’s side? Why isn’t this crooked scum bag being investigated?

Gramm should at least be required to change his name whenever this kind of thing happens like the ever-returning trolls around here. Some people just can't take a hint that they are not wanted.

The country is not in good shape as a result of these politicians services. In simple English, the American Taxpayer return on dollars collected from him or her is very low because of these people. McCain,Gramm,Lieberman they all have been in Washington for so many years, they all even ran to be presidents ..they are what America should stay away from these days.

At this point it appears that the GOP, even while McSpin tries to pander to everybody, is just concerned with keeping the hardcore 20%ers in the fold through this fall's debacle. It's just damage control. Soon it will begin to include more "stalwarts" of the Reich in "advisory positions". Which is especially ironic because McSpin appears to be unable to stay "on message" for more than a sentence or two. God Himself could advise Flippy and he would still sound like an idiot every time he goes off script. I wouldn’t say that this is a big shock.
