Who’s Whining Now?

Will the carnage ever end? Another campaign advisor bites the dust via foot-in-mouth disease.

John McCain’s chief economic advisor Phil Gramm resigned over the weekend after calling the financially-strapped American people “a nation of whiners.”

Gramm blames democrats for his resignation, instead of blaming his ill-timed words. Now that’s what I call a "mental recession."

The real blame should rest with McCain for relying on Gramm to be his chief “educator” on the economic issues he has admitted to not knowing much about.

Phil Gramm has been vice chairman of UBS Investment Bank for over five years and has lobbied Congress on the company's behalf. UBS has lost 70% of its value in the past year due to its part in the subprime debacle.

I guess Phil is no longer the leading candidate for Secretary of Treasury in a McCain administration.
