After his chief economic advisor called the U.S. "a nation of whiners" and said the only recession was a "mental recession", John McCain got a chilly reception from a hand-picked audience of Republicans in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan. He spluttered and stuttered trying to convince these Republicans that he wasn't the kind of "let them eat cake!" person that Gramm's statements imply, but apparently they were not convinced. The WaPost reports that the audience was "grim" and "sat in stony silence".
It couldn't happen to a better madman. Heh.
