Please, Please, Please Let It Be Phil Gramm

So I was at the Dairy Queen for lunch today and Alfredo, the owner and chief fry cook, handed me a copy of this, and if your Dairy Queen owner doesn’t pour over the London Telegraph Financial section, you are going to the wrong Dairy Queen, Honey.

It seems that United States Federal investigators have offered “several former junior UBS employees protection from criminal charges in exchange for their cooperation with their expanding probe into alleged Libor manipulation.”

UBS – that’s former Texas Senator and Major Greedhog Phil Gramm’s little Swiss bank operation overseas to help his rich American friends hide their money from the taxman.

And UBS is the star on top of the tree in the Libor scandal.

US antitrust officials have been investigating alleged collusion between at least 16 banks to manipulate interest rates, including the London interbank offered rate, or Libor.

UBS is one of the main targets of those regulators, the paper said, citing people close to the investigation.

Now, some of you remember Gramm as John McCain senior economic adviser who opined that Americans were a nation of whiners and that we were only in a mental recession – not a economic one.  Yeah right, Bush’s wrecking of the economy was all in our minds.  When McCain lost, Gramm found employment stealing from Dickey Flatt and the American taxpayers.

I promised Alfredo that I’d let him cater the Second Annual World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon’s Blizzardfest if Gramm got indicted.

Thank you, Alfredo.
