"But most of all I'll miss the charis...oh, hey you're back!"

Phil Gramm, not gone but hoped to be forgotten:

Jonathan Martin asked the McCain camp whether Gramm will stop advising the candidate, and reports that spokesman Tucker Bounds "only said that it was Gramm's decision to step down from his co-chair post."

So he'll still be advising McCain on what an awesome plan more of the continuing disaster is.

Please, for the love of God America, elect a guy who cannot even balance his own checkbook.
