RSC Update: Gramm Was An Early Invite

Republican Study Committee spokesman Brad Dayspring calls to say that Ex-Sen. Phil Gramm was the first person Rep. Jeb Hensarling invited to the Republican Study Committee's retreat this Friday -- well before he invited presidential candidates. Gramm is Hensarling's mentor, Dayspring said. Hensarling was exec. dir when Gramm was chairman of the Nat'l Republican Senatorial Committee. So as for Gramm speaking on behalf of Sen. John McCain, "Chairman Hensarling is thankful that the RSC will get to hear from Senator Gramm, and knows from years of experience that Phil Gramm speaks for Phil Gramm." [MARC AMBINDER]
