Well, It Would Be Humor If It Wasn’t So Damn True
Lindsey Graham is considering running for President. Last week he attended a private function to speak. The “private” club only allows men to be present. No woman. You know, because women would make Lindsey uncomfortable.
So he gives a speech, which he now claims was meant to be humorous.
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who is toying with the idea of a presidential bid, joked in a private gathering this month that “white men who are in male-only clubs are going to do great in my presidency,” according to an audio recording of his comments provided to CNN.
Humor? Hell, I thought that was his campaign slogan.

1Miss Lindsey must be the last person to know that he will never be elected President. But, just like all Rethugs, he is humor-impaired.

3This fossil is dangerous.
4Sounds Like all you need is a young Barry Manilow and the Divine Miss M and you’d have The Continental Baths, where I’m sure Ms Lindsey was a BIG hit in her day
5Has he been on anyone’s short list for vice president in the past 20 years? Maybe “running” for President is his way of saying “look at me. Anyone? Someone?”
It’s not as if he needs to jump into the fray to push the ‘contenders’ further to the right.
It’s a loaded GOP clown car, but whichever clown wins the GOP nomination, there’s no strategic benefit I can discern to any of them pinning Graham as a running mate.
Conclusion: someone on the Sunday Morning Yap Around Circuit hurt his fee fees, so he’s exploring another avenue to supply his need for attention fix. Or, maybe dialing for retirement dollars. That alternative almost seems like a good thing – he might be planning a retirement soon.
6So . . . this is supposed to be news? After all it is a full moon.
7PKM might be right. Lindsey might just be running for Vice President, regardless of who becomes the Presidential nominee. Might be easier to just get into the witness protection program.
8Micr, speaking of witness protection, that might be Mitch McConnell’s next plan. While he most likely feels (and it’s probably true) he has nothing to fear from the FEC, his family could cost him.
40 kilograms of cocaine confiscated from one of his father-in-law’s boats is sure to upset someone. That someone or those someones are not under federal or Senate control.
The next “run, Mitch, run” may have nothing to do with an election.

9Wouldn’t it be great? Less government is better, say the Republicans. Lindsey could be his own First Lady.
10What is he trying to indicate with his left hand? His chance of getting elected president, or the size of….
11UmptyDump wins the daily trophy.
12Rick, note the frayed and graying condition of his shirt cuff. That could be Lindsey’s silent plea to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy for sartorial assistance. New season? Queer Eye for the Gay Guy?
13I had the same thoughts, Rick, and I favor the size doesn’t matter hand gesture, especially in the brains department.
14But of course that would be one and the same.
He should opt for a hand ornament, like say, a pink-ribboned fan.

15Folks, I am more than a little uncomfortable with some of these cracks. Aren’t we supposed to be above making fun of a man, any man, for appearing to be “gay”, however that appears, or feminine? Insulting a man by implying, “You (fill in the blank) like a girl” is pretty damn insulting to women, don’t you think?
I was planning to say that we had, for our sins, a GOP governor here in Maryland a while back, just for one term. He celebrated his election victory by going with a bunch of male friends to a boxing arena in Glen Burnie, and smirked as he told reporters, “No chicks.” I’d like to know why that was supposed to be less insulting than if they’d all been white (I bet they were) and he’d smirked, “No n*****s.”
16@PKM, I was trying to recall the exact quote but I sorta found it on the interweb thingy. Pundits wondered why LBJ gave up his influential spot in the Senate for the Vice Presidency, when up to that point serving as VP was akin to being in a witness protection program. People went there and were never heard from again.
17Micr, as you say, until LBJ. Now there’s Joe Biden, not our average quiet VP, either. Forgive me for skipping Cheney, but it’s way too early for a drink here in the NV time zone.
Rhea, agreed and my apologies. You’re correct that those cracks are an insult to women and gays, however inadvertent or unintended an insult, for which I truly apologize. Just days ago, I had vowed to do better, yet I lapsed again. My bad.
18Looking at the photo, Linseed is giving the “it’s a little one” gesture. I’ll leave it to your imagination what that “one” is.
19I thought his campaign slogan was “Vote for me or I’ll get the vapors!”
20😀
Rhea, being gay, I’ve made those types of comments about him, too. The vibe on that is this: He’s an effeminate little jerk who’s a macho poseur! He’s fine sending others to war but would HE go? Seriously doubt it. His manner at one time would have been reserved for the thoughtful intellectual (remember William F. Buckley?) but Linseed’s whole routine is just too Southern Belle Chickenhawk even for me. In my world he’d be called out for trying to be butch. Sorry, Linseed. It just ain’t workin’, honey!
21No matter how much I can’t stand someone, K. bros excluded, I feel for anyone who has the habit of being followed around by reporters and photographers. There’s always folks who just like to run for office, for whatever reason. It’s a mystery.
22JAKvirginia, rock on, sir. The difference being you have every right to speak from that which you know and slap Lindsey for his hypocrisy. Your ground, your rules. Whereas I don’t, so my apology stands to you, Rhea, gays, women and anyone else I may have offended by being lazy taking the easy shots and not slamming Lindsey for so many other reasons available.
Oh but, “Southern Belle Chickenhawk,” so good and so tempting to ask permission to borrow, but I won’t. There’s plenty of fodder in his record as a senator and a JAG officer to make my points without treading on your prerogative. Again, I apologize.
23Rhea, some of my gay neighbors refer to him as “Miss Lindsey” and the reason is simple: He is a member of a party that has simply gone insane and is supported by gay-hating, minority-hating, immigrant-hating Bible Bangers and he has never so much as uttered a single word in defense of the people his party hates so much.
It’s just that he’s been so able to keep any concrete evidence of his proclivities inside a sealed closet, that nobody has gotten the goods on him–yet. Not that a whole bunch of folks haven’t been trying mightily. He hasn’t even bothered to come up with a “girlfriend.”
24Truly, the only downside to Lindsey running for President would be that The Colbert Report won’t be around to cover it.
We would still have The Daily Show, though, so there is a silver lining.
25If it were just “Cracks” Rhea, I get what you mean, but the truth is, this Person has spent his career hurting both us Gay folks and Women…and yes, I’m gonna call him out at every opportunity, along with the rest of the self loathing,self righteous,carpetbaggers, putting your and my life in danger on daily basis, while walking around in panties and pumps behind closed doors….. argh. Oh dear, it’s Sunday mornin’ and I need me some Church(Which if Miss Lindsey had her way, I wouldn’t be able to enter) just sayin….
26Ah yes, there is always Jon Stewart’s hand fanning, vapors enacting portrayal of Miss Lindsey … I love it and Lindsey Graham deserves so much more!!
Doesn’t matter who you are or what you do in private … when you’re an ass you are simply an ass!!
27Y’all, I hate political correctness, and so do the vast majority of the gay men I know. Those men, and I stand with them, are repulsed by the likes of Miss Lindsey because what he is indicating with his hand gesture in not anatomical it is his the size of his “heart.” So often he is seen, arm in arm with Big John McCain, urging us to send our children to war. Where is Tennessee Williams when we need him?
28I had an experience, visiting Charleston recently, of the “all white” variety (2 hours of music by US white artists from the 70s-90s and nary a melanocyte in sight) during a meal. Frankly, it was downright creepy (and the food was boring too)…
