Holy Crap. Phil Gramm? Seriously, Romney? You Are Parading Out Phil Gramm? Phil Gramm?
Okay, out in West Texas it is said that there are water wells so deep that you have to strain the rice out before you can drink it.
Mitt Romney’s campaign is now straining the rice out. You cannnot go deeper and lower than he’s gone.
He is sashaying out Phil Gramm. Paul Krugman explains.
But what really boggles my mind is the Romney campaign’s evident belief that it gains credibility by rolling out Phil “Mental Recession” Gramm as a spokesman. Gramm is best known these days for dismissing the risks to the economy when a recession was already underway and a catastrophic crisis was just around the corner, meanwhile denouncing us as a “nation of whiners”.
So, you’ve got a guy who thinks we’re whiners because we won’t buck up and take the economic beating he and his friends have given this country. A guy who could very well be heading to prison for helping rich dudes (yeah, I’m looking at you, Mitt Romney) illegally hide money while he was vice-chair of the Swiss Bank, UBS.
What? This is hush-attention? Phil Gramm will keep his mouth shut about Romney’s hidden money if Romney lets him screw this country one more time?
Seriously, Romney. You need a big ole mug of reality.
Seriously.
Thanks to Tony C for the heads up.
Juanita Jean, I am sorry to say they don’t make mugs big enough for what Mitt needs. Nor are there enough servants to bring him the refills required.
1I thought Phill climbed into a hole and disappeared. It is either too bad he is still around, or maybe too good because it proves the idiocy of the Mittwit’s campaign.
2Phil Gramm is the creator of “Credit Default Swaps” that nearly took the world economy to its knees. He specifically, as part of his great idea, promoted Credit Default Swaps as just like insurance, but they would not be regulated. Wasn’t THAT a great idea?
3Really, it’s the first time Mitt was consistant. Who better to parade around than the guy who called American’s whiners by the guy who called 47% Victims?
BTW , did you hear Mitt wants airplane window to crank down? Nope , not from the Onion, he really thinks it would help getting fresh air into a plane during a fire/smoke incident. It’s a Perry-like Statement it’s so dumb.
4Phil “Enron” Gramm, is the man who wins every “ugliest man” contest he enters, provided Mitch McConnell doesn’t enter, in which event there is always a tie. Their ugly penetrates every part of their being.
It’s hard to believe there are women with so little self-esteem that they would marry either of these creatures.
5I always thought Mitch McConnell looked like Phil Gramm’s little brother. Since they are neither teen-age nor ninja, I guess that just leaves mutant turtles.
6There is continuing pressure for Romney to release his tax returns. This very effective video, for example: https://pol.moveon.org/boy_band_romney_parody4/share.html?id=52700-6868757-sT77nfx&t=2
