McCain Campaign Can't...Won't...Rule Out Gramm As Treasury Secretary

For those of you who have developed a fondness for Tucker Bounds-themed bondage and domination videos, here's another YouTube where David Shuster chortles his way through a segment in which Bounds cannot or will not bring himself to assure the American people that Phil Gramm - who recently called America a "nation of whiners" but who led the effort for the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act that paved the way for the economic collapses of today - will not, under any circumstances, become Secretary of the Treasury in the McCain administration. If Bounds keeps at these sorts of "explanations," the world's supply of false equivalencies may run out by the first week of October.

It's okay if he doesn't rule out Phil Gramm as Secretary of the Treasury, because the American people are going to rule out John McSame as President.

Tucker is the gift that keeps on giving!!!!!!!

it's pretty bad when all a reporter can do is laugh at you, Tucker.

[HateLieCheatKillRepubWay]

ROTFLMAO@ that's true; Tucker elicits that a lot from journalists.

[kellygrrrl]

YES!!!! Please let TUCKER BOUNDS keep talking!!!!!

[chs1965]

I hope he disappears with the rest of the crowd. Where does McCain get these people? Another one who cannot or will not answer a direct question. he is a SNL skit all to himself.

Tucker Bounds is probably the only truthful person representing McCain. He can't lie about McCain and say he wouldn't pick Phil Gramm because the truth is that McCain would seriously consider him. Reversely, Tucker Bounds has no problem lying about Barack Obama. Notice that whenever Tucker is asked about the truth regarding McCain or Palin he switches the subject about Obama, never answering the question. He can't bring himself to lie about what McCain will or will not do.

McCain's advisor in July was Phil Gramm until he stepped down because of his controversial statements. McCain would likely have his dear friend Phil be given an appointment if he were to be President but Tucker can't tell the truth and he can't lie.

Kate4Change says: "He can't lie about McCain and say he wouldn't pick Phil Gramm because the truth is that McCain would seriously consider him" . …………………..G­ood point! Of course McCain would pick Gramm for Treasury Secretary. I’m shocked that everyone here seems so surprised. I mean, who didn’t know that? Not being able to rule it out is probably the closest Tucker Bounds has been to the truth in his entire life. Next time they should ask him about Lieberman being Secretary of State. Just keep Tucker talking and we'll know McCain's entire Cabinet soon.

When did Tucker "out of" Bounds join the Obama campaign. Good grief. If he keeps this up, he can get dinner reservations for three .... Fiorina, Gramm & Tuckered Out.
