Phil McCracken

(Phil Gramm's porn name. Thank you, good night!)

Even though he's never been in a porno (that we know of), McBush economic advisor and campaign co-chair Phil Gramm spent $15,000 to produce one.

Gramm's journey into porn began in 1973, when his brother-in-law, George Caton, rushed to tell him about an exciting low-budget soft-core production called "Truck Stop Women." A promo poster for the film boasted of its buxom stars: "No Rig Was Too Big For Them To Handle." Caton, who was in charge of fundraising for the production, asked Gramm to become an investor. To entice his brother-in-law, Caton showed him scenes of Playboy Playmate of the year Claudia Jennings displaying her bare essentials (she is naked throughout much of the film).

These scenes "really got Phil titillated," Caton told journalist John Judis in 1995. Gramm enthusiastically cut Caton a check for $15,000. Because the film was oversold, however, Caton returned his brother-in-law's money, offering him an investment opportunity in an upcoming feature.

I don't get it. What's the problem with this?

MisterX-
There wouldn't be a problem at all if Phil Gramm didn't attempt to pass himself off as some sort of moral beacon for the rest of us.
This tale merely underscores that when his selfish (and prurient) interests are involved, Gramm has all the moral standards of a bitch in heat.

Phil McCracken?

I'm pretty sure Gramm's porn name was Phil MacRevis.

I had to laugh at the title since I know someone by that name. I'll have to ask him if he's in porn...lol.

As for the topic, Gramm's hypocrisy does not surprise me.
