While he'll most likely get a free pass by the mainstream media, it looks like the McCain campaign lied to the American people when they said Phil Gramm, who thinks we are a nation of whiners with mental problems, would no longer have an active role in the campaign. Robert Novak reports, "McCain told Gramm not to worry about the expected pitfalls of a campaign surrogate. Gramm will continue as an adviser and surrogate."
Last week, Carly Fiorina said on Meet the Press, "I don't think Senator Gramm will any longer be speaking for John McCain, and I think John McCain was crystal clear about that this week."
In addition, McCain’s senior policy adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, said flat out "NO" on PBS when asked if Gramm was continuing to give advice to the campaign and said he didn't expect to speak with him again on policy matters.
Now, that's not change we can believe in.
