``I am working with Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement...'' Michael Perelman
-------
Ha, ha. What isn't funny is Phil really is in there working over the Senate Republicans to push for foreign bank participation, restrictions on any homeowner help, or manditory renegociated loans, as part of the requirement for buying up `distressed' assets...
Tom Hartman was ragging on about it this morning, but working with an air gun and other tools drown out this morining's rants.
If you can find a story about the where abouts of Mr. Gram, I would really like to read about what he is up to. My guess is he is at the center of the Republican counterproposals to Dodd, Frank, Sanders et al.
They will line up with Poulson and Bush and try to force their direction on Pelosi and Reed, who may very well cave in as usual...
