Maybe he can say something stupid again. I can't wait!!!

let's see a vote - who out there thinks if McCain wins, Gramm will be in McCain's cabinet? My guess is that 95 percent will agree. Gramm never really left. they just keep him on the sidelines so the public doesn't have to know. I think the DNC and Obama campaign should do ads with Gramm's 'whiners' comments to get the point across about what McCain really thinks about those less financially fortunate than his wife.

May I whine about how bad and uninformative this article is?

It is mostly rehashed old news.

You should have titled it: "Gramm sits in audience."

Gramm, putative Sec of Treasury, sits in audience.

What is McCain's understanding of the economy?

Is it reflected in his choice of Gramm as counselor?

Isnt Gramm more of the Keating Five, only bigger and worse for the economy? How's the United Bank of Scotland? DId Gramm cost them $32 billion by his clever scheming? Are any UBS employees in the USA now? UBS warned them not to go to USA lest they be arrested for mortgage fraud.
Thanks Gramm and McCain, for working the system to make mortgage fraud possible.

This makes perfect sense. McCain is having issues processing reality. It is well documented that he was tortured in Vietnam, and most likely brain washed. While he has made a remarkable recovery, this is more signs of instability, if not a total regression to back to the programing his Vietnamese masters programed while he was their prisoner. We can't let this instability near the white house!

John L McCain Jr, obviously has as much of a handle on foreign affairs as his dad. Russia may be many things right now, but Communist certainly is not one of them! Just go ask any of a dozen or so multi billionaire oil oligarchs.

it's not about communists. (that's so McCarthy) It's about honesty and integrity. Two qualities that seem to be lacking in the Senate in the last 26 years.

Another misleading headline from the media. Gramm is no longer an adviser. Gramm is no longer an economics advisor to the campaign. Gramm was attending a forum at aspen put on by a democrat walter isaccson and raising money. Gramm was there with his wife. That is it. He no longer has any policy position with the campaign. But the media loves to distort McCain and it is working. The media lies are deciding this election.

And we all know in the 21 century nations don't invade other nations right Mclame?

Wow, slow news day....who cares? I happen to think old Phil is right...aside from gas prices (which escalated AFTER the remark)...we sit blogging on our laptops, with our cell phones in our pockets, while the HD TV is on and grab our designer bottled water....yeah, we Americans are really suffering and I can't understand why people from other countries are constantly banging down the door to immigrate here? Really people, you want to go live in any other country?

Gramm's comments are less upsetting than Obama's about working class Americans clinging to guns and religion. Let's not forget that gem...out of his own mouth.
McCAIN ALL THE WAY!!!!!

UH, LOL and double GBO's...Gramm NEVER LEFT, not really , just stepped into shadows so as NOT to cause further spotlighted attention !!!
