Not the time when you want Phil Gramm’s puppet, Mr. Don’t Know Nuthin’ Bout No Economics, leading the charge.

Palin with Katie Couric yesterday:
PALIN: …The interesting thing in the last couple of days that I have seen is that Americans are waiting to see what John McCain will do on this proposal. They’re not waiting to see what Barack Obama is going to do. Is he going to do this and see what way [...]
