Phil Gramm folds under the pressure.

I’m guessing that Phil Gramm is doing what all good Republicans do when they’ve caused public outrage. Phil Gramm announced late Friday that he is leaving the McCain campaign. Phil has decided to join the number of growing supporters of Senator McSame. The reason I say growing is because everyone who screws up on his campaign leaves, and that number seems to increase week to week. Perhaps ole Phil wants to be out of the spotlight, since in my opinion he should be indicted on tax fraud. He is, after all, the number two man at UBS, who was hiding money for millionaires who think they’re above paying taxes. So, John, this is the economic plan you have? Take care of the millionaires and screw the rest of us? Oh I’m sorry, I must be a whiner.

Note how he blames Democrats, if I wasn’t laughing so hard, I’d cry.
