Listen up people, listen to the wise man on C-SPAN.

Thank you American enterprise Institute.

:puke:

[backscatter712]

1. Did he say anything about what he saw in the mirror? n/t

[wryter2000]

2. When will they stop giving people like him a microphone?

They're completely and consistently wrong on everything. The only way they should be heard is with a disclaimer beforehand. "What follows is the boneheaded thinking that got us where we are."

[Sultana]

3. Oh, Lord

:eyes:

It's ur fault Phil.

[OregonBlue]

4. Just posted the same thing. God that Brian Lamb loves him some AEI.

Haven't we had enough of these crooks by now. Why give this hateful, deceitful man air time? They really are CSPIN!!!

[Kittycat]

5. And he would know - the dumbfuck.

[Enthusiast]

6. Phil Gramm is the single individual

we can most blame for this crisis. I hope Obama & The Democatic Party restore the Glass Steagall Act, and soon.

[burythehatchet]

9. gotta hand it to him. He's taking hostile questions. I would have just

knifed him.

[Fireweed247]

17. That bastard is responsible!

How many people could not afford to pay their bills because gas, energy bills and food were so high because of the Enron Loophole?

[Enthusiast]

27. We have witnessed the Eronization of

our country. Filthy scum! Was there ever a deep, dark, dank dungeon bad enough for them?

[NOW tense]

7. I bet he says to much regulation.

[benld74]

8. Credit Default swaps were the EXACT CAUSE of what is happening NOW

Gramm is FOS on this one. He states he was a lawmaker, not a regulator. DID not eliminate regulators from watching the swaps? HELL NOBODY KNEW HOW to work with these things! HE's blowing smoke once again. HE IS SCARED shitless. Roubini would make him look like the idiot he really is!

[benld74]

10. ONYL REASON HE IS ON IS to shoot holes in the stimulus package

[benld74]

12. Covered bonds is the talk NOW from England, BUT

covered bonds failed big time in Europe MANY years ago!

[ejpoeta]

11. he would know. he helped start the ball a-rollin

[MajorChode]

13. That's easy, it's called the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

[burythehatchet]

14. and the douche is still defending getting rid of Glass-Steagall

un-frickin-real

[Urban Prairie]

15. How is our

mental recession coming along now, Gramm?

[DBoon]

16. that's like a cannibal lecturing us on the virtues of vegan diets

nt

[Raster]

18. phil gramm is a liar, thief and a cheat. You can tell he's lying if his lips are moving.

I lived in Texas during his tenure as Senator. We had a saying: "gramm never met a microphone he didn't like."

gramm is an abysmal excuse for a human being. Frankly, his head belongs on a pike to serve as a warning and deterrent.
Oh, and his ENRON-enabling wife is no better. Her head would look lovely right next to his.

We Can Do Better!

[burythehatchet]

23. His head on a pike is what America needs.

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. I thought he died.

[Fire1]

20. Well, if anybody knows WHY, he damned sure does.

[Waiting For Everyman]

21. I'd like to him behind bars FIRST on the list.

And his wife Wendy second.

[lovuian]

22. He created it he should know

Asshole

[TimesSquareCowboy]

24. From the man who spent $30Million and won one delegate,

a lesson in managing money.

[JuniperLea]

25. Is it anything like OJ's book?

What a sociopath.

[burythehatchet]

26. DUzy 2.0
