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.

NYT: McCain chief of staff/lobbyist was paid $2m by Fannie and Freddie for access to McCain and to stop regulation of banking industry

McCain and staff admit outright that earlier this decade they were paid $2m to the man who is now John McCain's campaign manager in order to buy influence with John McCain as Senator and as possible president (they also paid him to derail legislation that would have increased federal regulation of the banking industry). There should be a campaign to demand that McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, give ever penny back to the American people. There had better be an ad about this out by COB Monday, and calls for Davis' resignation.

Gramm always looks like he needs some prunes.
Or he's sucking on a prune.

Can't quite put my finger on it.

Like he's sucked a lemon?

[on2them]

no, it's gramms grimace grin that is so proud of himself making loads of money for his buddies and getting shear joy out of the taxpayers cleaning up and taking on the debt to include all those golden umbrellas that CEO's walked away with.

I think he should have that sh*tty eating grin wiped off his face. This man is the number one reason for this meltdown and old man mcgoogle is number two in more ways than one.

They've shat all over us and yet there are still people voting for these idiots. I will never understand people voting against their own best interests.

The only thing I really Regret from MR TUCKER - BOY.... is:
He should have changed the First Letter of his Name from "T..ucker" to...."F.......". Well, I guess you get the IDEA !!!
His President , George "W" .. ...... Bushhhhh, got US all "F****" up !!!
Do you think that an Administration in hands of a Tucker/Pal­in/Bush/Mc­Same- Administration,will really CHANGE Anything ???
If soooooo...Please ...Speak Up !!!!!!
L.O.L !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder why the Obama camaign has not ruled out Jeffreys (remember him , the LA Democrat - he had $50-60,000 in his freezer). If the Democrats cannot rule him out, why should the Republicans rule anyone out?

[dollyblue]

William Jefferson (remember him? - not Jeffreys), and he does not and has not had any role in Obama's campaign, unlike Gramm for McCain.

Apples and oranges.

[66rock]

Come on, you can do better than that! Pretty lame comparison jingles01

and hey 01, you're a candidate for current affairs 101

as I believe his name is Jefferson and it was 90,000, not 60,000, And why would you mention him and Obama in the same post, they have nothing to do with each other. Get real.

[Whinger]

All things considerd, I think most everybody knows who and what is mental.

It seems some folk are in denial suffering from the Nero syndrome!

Did anyone see 60 minutes tonight? Does anyone see the significance of this?

Q: In 1999, you were one of the senators who helped pass deregulation of Wall Street. Do you regret that now?

McCAIN: No. I think the deregulation was probably helpful to the growth of our economy.

WHAT GROWTH??? Is this guy really this detached from reality?

Well, he is 72 years old, He was a POW. He is still mad at Spain for sinking the USS Maine, He believes that our economy is "fundamentally strong". He "invented" the BlackBerry. He thinks that privatizing social security is a good thing for our economy. He doesn't know the difference between a Shia and a Sunni. And the list goes on and on and on.

[highlyamused]

Don't forget that he thinks Palin being able to see Russia from Alaska gives her all the foreign policy experience she needs to be a heartbeat away from the Oval Office.

[elizabethc]

Oh, I forgot! Obama will not do those town hall meetings!

[SunshineDaydream]

mcbush should be thanking him for that, actually.

[AllenD]

I never thought I would say this but Tucker Bounds makes Harold Ickles seem rational.

[highlyamused]

What's with all these little Tucker boys?

[Yuma]

HAHAHA!

[SunshineDaydream]
