Well, now we know. Former Texas Senator Phil Gramm, one of John McCain's principal economic advisers — let's repeat that, one of John McCain's principal economic advisers — thinks America is a "nation of whiners."
That's because, although former Senator Gramm refuses to recognize it, the country is in a recession and people are dealing with some tough times out there.
Gee, former Senator Gramm, maybe you aren't feeling those tough times. And goodness knows that Senator McCain, married to his extraordinarily wealthy beer heiress, isn't feeling them. But a lot of Americans can't afford gas, food and health care these days. Many can't pay their mortgages and are abandoning not only their homes but — and this bothers us cats the most — their pets.
Former Senator Gramm, you are an asshole. And we think that Senator McCain, who is frantically distancing himself from your remarks today, should — oh, what's the phrase? — "cut you loose."
We GROWL and HISS at Senator McCain. We're sorry, Senator, but after your indignant behavior in the manufactured Wesley Clark dust-up, you can't credibly claim that your adviser "doesn't speak for" you.
