I read somewhere last week that at some point after the election, Lindsey Graham called President Joe Biden to try to make up and be friends again.  Joe ignored him.

Lindsey tried again by sending a message that he only attacked Hunter Biden during the election to appease the Trump voters in his district. It is brutally obvious that Lindsey does not have any children because, not surprisingly, that didn’t work either. The first rule of living in a civilized world is that you do not ever attack someone’s children to hurt the parent. If you do, they will kill you and then they will eat you.

Lindsey seems to be at his wit’s end to want Joe’s love and attention.

For years I wondered what dirt John McCain had on Lindsey.  And then, I suspected that Trump had worse dirt.

But, I think maybe the Pulitzer prize winning guys at the New York Times have a better explanation.

Yet what emerges from interviews with more than 60 people close to him, and with the senator himself, is a narrative less of transformation than of gyration — of an infinitely adaptable operator seeking validation in the proximity to power. It is that yearning for relevance, rooted in what he and others described as a childhood of privation and loss, that makes Mr. Graham’s story more than just a case study of political survival in the age of Trump.

He just wants you to look at him. He wants to be relevant. You know, I can understand and forgive somebody doing something because they are scared. But for ego? Nah.

It’s a long article, but it’s good.
