Ford balks, Gramm whines about whiners

Some funny stuff going on:

Harold Ford on the negative treatment of Barack Obama in the media: "I've never seen a candidate treated like this." Uh, dude? Obama's had it pretty easy so far. The worst he's gotten is from the Clinton camp. Never seen a candidate treated like this? Did you miss the swiftboating of John Kerry, or that ad that tried to make it look like George W. Bush was responsible for the dragging death of James Byrd? How about how John McCain in South Carolina in 2000? Are you saying Bob Dole, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, George HW Bush, Michael Dukakis, Ronald Reagan, Walter Mondale, etc., all got a free pass compared to Obama?

Phil Gramm calling America a "nation of whiners." 1.) He must have forgotten how Jimmy Carter's "malaise" statement helped sink his re-election. 2.) Millionaires should avoid giving general statements about average folk during difficult economic times.
