I missed this, but it is so true:
As I noted earlier, after Phil Gramm said America was a nation of whiners, McCain said that Gramm didn’t speak for him. Which makes the fact that Gramm was, in fact, speaking for him at a meeting with the WSJ editorial board today all the more amusing.
After Gramm’s whiner comments, McCain campaign came out and explicitly stated that Phil Gramm does not speak for him, that he speaks for himself, and the media sighed and gushed, their heavy hearts lifted by the McMavericky straight talk.
Except, of course, the entire reason Gramm was speaking at the WSJ editorial board was to promote McCain’s economic policies.
