My Phil Gramm Quip Today

Anyone remember when Phil Gramm ran for president? He said he would subject every program or proposal to a particular test.

Well, we've heard a few things about John McCain and Viagra. We've wondered whether he uses "Viagra or Cialis," which would be the best "Boxer or Briefs-type" question for him. McCain doesn't want to address the question of his potency, how he rates on the flacidity scale, which of course goes from Overcooked Thin Spaghetti to Granite, with granite being the hardest.

But if we put Gramm's test and McCain's rating together maybe we'd have something. Gramm said he would subject everything to the "Dickey Flatt" test. If it passed the Dickey Flatt test it was OK, if not it failed. So, we now ask McCain, "Is Dickey Flatt?"
