Former Sen. Phil Gramm and former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, were power brokers for years. Now, the like-minded conservatives -- each with a Ph.D. in economics -- are working on John McCain's presidential bid. Gramm has an official role, Armey does speaking, but they keep tabs on each other. Like the recent speculation about Gramm slated to be treasury secretary (a recurring rumor since Gramm retired in 2002) in a McCain Administration.
"That's what I'm hoping," said Armey, who was on Capitol Hill today, "and expecting that to be the case."

With all that has been revealed about Phil Gramm and the "loophole" opening the way for the Enron debacle, the mortgage bust and now heinous oil speculation, let's put Phil in a cage, not welcome him back into the hen house.
