Senator Reid on Whinergate
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) ripped McCain "econ brain" Phil Gramm over his disparaging comments about Americans feeling the economic woes of Bush/McCain policies.
"Gramm has a view of government which is that government is the enemy, not a friend," Reid said in an interview this afternoon with CongressionalVideo.com. "And, obviously from his comments, he now believes the American people are not his friend either, and he has a low view of the American people. Thinks they're a bunch of whiners."In fact, Reid said, "every segment of our economy is in deep trouble. Deep trouble. We have the housing market, which is falling apart. We have gas prices which are astronomical, people can't even afford to drive to work in many instances."
Gramm stands by his comments (as did the McCain campaign initially), stating "every word I said was true."
