Hey, Without the Sarcasm and Prissy Walk, Lindsey Graham is Just Another GOP Jerk
It was epiphany Sunday at my house. Bubba didn’t sit in his BarcaLounger and holler at Meet David Gregory the way normal men holler at football games. That was only because the President was on Meet David Gregory.
Bubba missed Lindsey Graham on Fox because Bubba believes that Fox is a tool of the Devil Hisownself.
Lindsey was all snot and sarcasm this morning.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) used his “Fox News Sunday” appearance to congratulate President Barack Obama on his impending victory in the so-called fiscal cliff negotiations, predicting that tax rates will go up on people making more than $400,000 or $500,000 as a result of the coming Senate deal.
“Hats off to the president. He won,” Graham said. “What have we accomplished? Political victory for the president. Hats off to the president. He stood his ground. He’s going to get tax rate increases, maybe not at [$]250[,000], but on upper-income Americans. And the sad news for the country is we’ve accomplished very little in not becoming Greece or getting out of debt. This bill won’t affect the debt situation.”
So Lindsey Graham sat goofy silent while the GOP made this the most do-nothing congress in the damn entire history of the damn United States of America. Lindsey didn’t drip sarcasm all over the fact that senate Republicans used the filibuster to hurt the President and the country. Lindsey didn’t even priss when he was a part of a team determined to “get” this President. But Lindsey goes all out disdainful, claiming it’s the President’s fault when John Boehner screwed America in order to keep his leadership position.
Yeah, Lindsey, it’s the President’s fault that John Boehner is a lilylivered, goose headed, low life, asinine sumbitch. Yeah, blame the President for the debt when you attend the George W Bush Library opening, babe. And sweetie, don’t forget that it’s up to minimum wage workers and working families to pay the debt, not you. And, of course, grandma and grandpa don’t deserve their “entitlements” that they paid for because grandma and grandpa should just quit eating and using up health care. You go, Boyfriend! You tell America what a damn great job you’ve done during your 20 years in office. You got us here, Lindsey, but we can find our own way out.
Lindsey, Honey, it’ll take a truckload of estrogen and years of practice to beat me at sarcasm.
One more thing, you might do well to congratulate the President on his landslide victory in November.
Jerk.

I have no words.
1You used them all.
Yes we can. We can get out of this mess that the republicans made.
After the Prez’s interview, the “roundtable” got in their licks. I did, indeed, wind up yelling at David (Bobo) Brooks and finally just muted him. Why so many people think that putz is so smart is just beyond me.
2Love the cartoon – which I prefer to call “Portrait of modern-day GOP”
3Had the exact same thoughts when I heard this shill damning Obama with faint praise. Graham gives me the shivers with his ability to speak with that ingratiating southern accent, while seeking a soft place for the knife.
4On another web site,this person is called “Senatorette Miss Lindsey Graham,” and I think it suits “him” well. He needs to come out of the closet,badly. It would make a better person of him,if there’s actually still a person lurking in there.
5So Obama won – dumb ass – the American people won since the majority voted for him.
6He really doesn’t do a very good job of pretending to be NOT GAY! Please! My gaydar went off the charts a long time ago about him. He’d never make it in Hollywood with that style of acting.
7The 3 P’s for McCain’s caddy. He is a poor pathetic person which fits his South Carolina mentality.
8Particularly pathetic person.
9The Rs think Lindsay is gay, too:

As one of the gay men on this blog, I do NOT want this SOB on my team. I didn’t want Larry Craig. I didn’t want J. Edgar Hoover. I didn’t want Ted Haggard. And I sure as hell don’t want this son-of-a-motherless-goat.
10Graham said, “we’ve accomplished very little in not becoming Greece.”
I officially declare us to be not Greece. There. All done.
11scottybeamer, I think the expression you’re looking for is “so far back in the closet that he can see Narnia.”
12Perfect rant, Miss Juanita Jean!
Miss Lindsey is so far in the closet he is wedged between two studs.
These Republicans expect us old people to pay down the damn debt, while they protect the people who most benefitted from the Bush tax cuts.
13Graham’s been in the closet so long he’s forgotten why he went it.
14….what Brian said………..:)
15Good job, JJ! When will they EVER get that the President was elected by a MANDATE. The middle class is tired of carrying the burden. And, yes, new revenue is essential — revenue that the super-rich should have been contributing for years, but were sending elsewhere. Thanks Brian, LynnN, and all of the clients — you make me feel sane. Where did all this debt come from again?!?
16I laughed out loud watching the Jon Stewart clip. A friend I’ve maintained contact with since our husband’s were at the U of Ga Law School together has a son who worked for Lindsey on the Hill for a couple of years, biding his time until he could also get the privilege of attending Ga Law. I can’t wait to send her this clip and get some dirt…. or at least ruin her afternoon with a giggle. We all used to be “so liberal” back during those Post Watergate days in Athens, GA, but I strongly suspect at this point that they are at the pinnacle of high society in Atlanta, Paul’s a judge now, their son and his new bride are both bright attorneys in practice with top firms in Atlanta, and they are most probably staunch Republicans. My X husband calls himself El Solo Democrato”…. Lindsey was on TV last week at some point talking about gun control, admitted that he owns the same assault weapon used in Newtown and other recent tragedies. Oh…there’s a boatload of ugly innuendos and bad jokes there…..
Prospero Ano Nuevo, Amigos! Be Safe.
