Phil Gramm is ... wait for it...Wendy "ENRON" Gramm's husband.
Wendy Lee Gramm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wendy Lee Gramm (born 1945) is chairman of the Regulatory Studies Program at George Mason University's Mercatus Center, a free-market think tank based in Washington D.C. She is also the wife of former United States Senator Phil Gramm.

...After a lobbying campaign from Enron, the CFTC exempted it from regulation in trading of energy derivatives. Subsequently, Gramm resigned from the CFTC and took a seat on the Enron Board of Directors.

5. Yeah, I believe she headed up the Directors' Audit Committee
that let everything pass.I think she had to pay back about $2 million in restitution for her participation in the fraud. Too bad she didn't go to jail.

Sons of bitches have the nerve to call Americans "whiners" because our jobs, health care, etc are disappearing while they gulp down their martinis and laugh at people joining the Army to have a chance at getting an education.

9. Interesting that she is the only woman on the Board. Gee, it couldn't be
because of her connections, now could it?

10. It is to me, and is going to help me immensely with an argument
that my wingnut father in law and I are having about gas prices. Thank you.

6. I would have been just fine never hearing Phil Gramm's name again.
First they gave the Two Coreys a reality show, now this.

8. I hope this means another day of the 'whiners' story while the MSM plays connect-the-dots to Enron!
