AUSTIN, Texas -- Goody, goody, gumdrop. We could get Phil Gramm back again, this time as secretary of the treasury. Oh how I've missed that little ray of sunshine, the bleeding heart from Bryan, the man who thinks poor people are all fat. As author Jim Hightower used to say, if you need a heart transplant, try to get Phil Gramm's -- it's never been used.

Just what we need for treasury secretary: the banking industry's errand boy. The man who helped bring us Enron.

To me this is devastating. How do the rest of you DUers feel about Phil Gramm and secretary of treasury? Is there anything we can do to halt this option?

1. "Texas, the nation's laboratory for bad government" according to Molly

and it seems that it's true.

3. Yes, it is...

the list is too long to print isn't it... Bush I & II (implants), Cheny (implant), DeLay, Gramm (Phil AND wife!), SBV, Bob Perry Homes (SBV financial supporter), Halliburton, Enron, etc. etc.

Most corruption always comes back to the Republican party and the "Texas connection" in the end, doesn't it? The corrupt Republican party and their support of the corporate thieves and the fraudulent redistricting and voting processes -- everything seems to lead back to the corrupt government in Texas and usually has at a minimum a "Texas Connection"!

SHUFFNEW... TEXAS DEMOCRAT!

2. Phil Gramm

"A man so mean even his friends don't like him."

I think he's the perfect fit for the decline and fall of Babylon.

4. Well, Let the Worst of Them Put Their Faces on the Shrub Mal-admin

As Molly wrote in another column a few weeks ago, Shrub is like a chicken-killing dog, that the way to cure it is to tie one of the dead chickens around its neck to stink and decay, that the U.S. will find things SO bad under Shrub that they will never vote for a Repuke again.

5. That's it... Great advise... Hope it works...

Molly tells it how it is, doesn't she?
