Obama' stop economic advisor Chairs co. that helped wealthy US taxpayers hide BILLIONS offshore.

OOps! It's not Obama's advisor -- it's McCain's economic guru, Phil (Enron) Gramm, Chair of UBS.

UBS is cooperating w/ the IRS after actively & successfully soliciting US (& other)citizens for it's illegal tax avoidance schemes. It's a worldwide scandal. Billions in assets were purposely hidden.


Where's the M$M on this story?

[bluerum]

1. MSM - covering the Edwards story until further notice from RW handlers.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

3. Eddy plus a few hundred free runnings of McAddled's attack ads.

[speedoo]

2. Gramm was let go by McCain a couple months ago.

And yes, the MSM did cover it. Not enough, but they covered it.

[elleng]

4. Not 'a couple months ago,'

more recently, and not really let go, just dropped out; they're very close, I understand, and gramm would/might be mcC's treasury sec.

Should be much bigger story, and may be such after conventions? Gramm relationship certainly good example of mcc's terrible judgment.

6. I think part of the problem here is that the cable news can't get

pretty pictures to go with the story.

Really, they don't have enough confidence in their audience to actually do some reporting that can't be shown in pictures.

8. Its WORSE than that, I'm afraid;

they don't WANT TO really inform, because doing so challenges too many basic assumptions that favor the status quo.

5. They couldn't cover it too much because he is still an adviser.

[elehhhhna]

7. he "quit" the day the scandal broke (coincidence?) and was REINSTATED later

in the week.
