From Frank Rich’s column in Today’s Times:
Just two weeks before publicly sharing his thoughts about America’s “mental recession,” Mr. Gramm laid out equally incendiary views in a Wall Street Journal profile that portrayed him as “almost certainly” the McCain choice for Treasury secretary. Mr. Gramm said that the former chief executive of AT&T, Ed Whitacre, was “probably the most exploited worker in American history” since he received only a $158 million pay package rather than the “billions” he deserved for his success in growing Southwestern Bell.
Words fail me, though I must point out that this is the man to whom McCain will probably outsource running our economy, or should I say running it into the ground, as he apparently did to UBS.
