Like Wesley Clark two weeks ago, I think the McCain campaign had Phil Gramm make a completely inane statement, in order to have McCain himself denounce it and its author, to create the outward appearance that he cares about the bad economy.
Meanwhile, the real John Sidney McCain III has never had to worry about paying a bill in his life, and never will.
What a stupid thing to say. Some 3,200 Chrysler workers are going to see their income plummet from $50-some-odd thousand a year down to $0, all the while they and everyone else have to come up with $4 a gallon for gas, and more than they use to for food. That’s not really happening, according to Phil Gramm. It’s just the perception of no job and higher gas and food prices that’s making us blue. That’s what the liberals all say about black and Hispanic crime.
Then again, Phil Gramm won’t ever have to worry about paying a bill, either, thanks to the wagon we’re pulling for him.
