Last week, Phil Gramm, Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) “econ brain,” said that America is a “nation of whiners” suffering from a “mental recession.” In response, McCain said that Gramm “does not speak for me,” and McCain policy adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin asserted that Gramm would no longer be giving McCain advice. Today, however, Robert Novak reports that “Gramm will continue as an adviser and surrogate“:

After Sen. John McCain publicly repudiated his close friend and adviser Phil Gramm’s comments about a “nation of whiners” and a “mental recession,” the two old political comrades patched up their relationship.

Gramm apologized to McCain for his remarks that gave Democrats an opening against the Republican presidential candidate and provided several days of ammunition for blogs, cable television and radio talk shows. McCain told Gramm not to worry about the expected pitfalls of a campaign surrogate. Gramm will continue as an adviser and surrogate.

Apparently, McBush flip flops on his flip flops. Hating all of us whiners is stronger than being respectable.

1. Good, because I am sure those old farts will fuck up again

They deserve each other

5. They don't even need to do it *again* -

the whiners remark should be quite sufficient. (But I'm sure they'll come up with more....)

2. Very sporting of McCain, to gladly show-off the guy who helped destroy the U.S. economy

Obama can say the words "Enron loophole" at every campaign stop.

yup. Puppet meet Master.

6. Now that we're calling for SHUTTING DOWN UBS, where he's Vice Chair,

he's got nothing better to do.

Guess nobody told McCain about UBS' money-laundering tax avoidance scams, yet, huh?

These guys are like a bad parody of candidate and his advisors.

Maybe he can put together a collection of McBush's favorite rape jokes.
