Phill Gramm gets the axe from the McCain campaign:
“It is clear to me that Democrats want to attack me rather than debate Sen. McCain on important economic issues facing the country,” Gramm said.The former senator had been criticized for a remark in which he said that the economic slowdown was a “mental recession,” and that the U.S. was a nation of “whiners.” The campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) had seized on the remark and used it for a barrage of attacks on Gramm and McCain.
I'm still not convinced that his wife's hands were ever clean in the Enron collapse.
And when he went to UBS, I figured it was as a reward for doing their bidding in helping legislation along that made it easier to offshore billionaire and billionaire accounts to dodge taxes. Then, USB shitcanned the Houston office in the middle of the 9/11 and tech Bubble downturns.
Oh well. He's toxic now.
I'm hoping the less heard from him, the better, but that just means he'll crawl deeper into the shadows.

Of all the things to get popped for, saying what he thinks in a really insensitive way, should be at the bottom of the list.
He's done so much that should disqualify him from public life, why draw the line now?
