Former senator and current banker Phil Gramm of Texas -- well-connected to big donors but controversial for his role in preventing tighter regulation of Wall Street -- told The Huffington Post yesterday that he is endorsing his former student and political protege, Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

The endorsement is not a surprise, but it is a mixed blessing.

"I'm for Rick and I will do what I can to help," Gramm said in an interview in Detroit. "He has been an effective governor. He is a determined guy from a small town who knows how to get things done."

Elected three times to the U.S. Senate and a presidential contender in 1996 (he tied with Sen. Bob Dole in Iowa), the former Texas A&M economics professor's visibility has faded in the raucous arena of Texas politics.

1. Phill Gramm needs to be indicted

among many cabal of Republicans for treason.

Fucking with the Americans for 30 years and not giving anything back to the people (and stealing their taxpayer funds) while enriching himself and his ugly wife Wendy is tantamount to treason against the United States Government

2. One Of The Major Architects Of The 2008 Crash Endorses Slick Rick

Phil Gramm was one of the major movers for the legislation that repealed Glass Steagal. That he endorses the likes of Slick Rick should be a flashing blood-red warning light not just for progressives but even for committed capitalists that electing Rick Perry would be dangerous for the financial well-being of most of the American citizenry.
