When Sen. Phil Gramm (Bi-TX) chaired the Senate Appropriations Committee, the joke went around: You have a gun with only two bullets and you're in a room with Saddam Hussein, Mohammar Ghadafy, and Phil Gramm. Who do you shoot? Shoot Phil Gramm twice.
Back on the rocker, far from the clatter of policy battles and ideological cage matches, we muse at that old mot and consider. Damn. Why not?
Phil Gramm made AIG what it is today. He fought for the right of insurers to twaddle away their liabilities and sell go-go-go juice to the hucksters in Petaluma who sold it to their friends and relations. You know, John McCain's leading economic advisor, who would be here, if there were such a thing as justice.
The sterner anti-vernacular Beagleintolerables say, "Whom would you shoot?"
