Former U.S. senator Phil Gramm, the free-market-loving husband of Enron Wendy (a former regulator with deep Enron ties), has stepped down from his advisory position on John McCain's campaign. About a week ago, Mr. Gramm -- apparently, a die-hard optimist -- publicly said that our nation's economy is not in a real recession but is rather in more of a "mental recession." (WSJ)
Somewhere in there, Mr. Gramm said reportedly called Americans "whiners." It didn't go over well. The AP also has the story, and Memeorandum has commentary.
Really big news?! Who Cares.
How about when the woman who called Hillary a MONSTER quit the cheater - liars campaign?
Actually this helps me like McCain even more.
