Lindsey Graham: the new "it" guy of the GOP

Please, God, No!!!

Linsie Glam

If you google the words "Lindsay Graham" and "homosexual," you will find that many in South Carolina believe he is a closet queen.  Yes, I know, it is merely circumstantial evidence that he is single and never connected to a female.  But I say, where there's smoke there's fire.  And while I would not want to claim him as a member of our community, I think it goes along with well-documented Repub tendencies to pretend to be one thing while being, secretly, something else entirely: e.g. Larry Craig, David Vitner, and now, most lately, Gov. Sanford.  (And these are only three of many.)  Glam supported and voted for the D.O.M. Act.  He tows the Repub line, which is anti-gay.  I am waiting on Larry Flynt to come up with the goods.  Perhaps Flynt is holding off until the Repubs made another dumb choice for Veep....

Would someone please just out this guy already!

Or are we waiting for a more entertaining moment?

I would have left an interesting comment

I am leaving this comment blank in solidarity with trans women for the silencing of their voices by Pam's House Blend.

threadjacking

Threadjacking to reopen a discussion on a contentious matter is inappropriate. Consider that notice. Take it into the chat room.

Come on

Really?  Hijacking other people's threads to protest...what?  I've read the troublesome post and its comments and can't make sense of any of it.  As a Transperson I say PLEASE just drop the grammar drama.  Seriously, it's just silly. Let's deal with the real enemies and stop fighting our friends and allies.

As for Lindsey being the latest savior of the GOP; I find it hilarious how they continue to hitch the future of the Republican party to such walking, squawking disasters.  Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal, Mark Sanford, Charlie Crist.  All uniquely insane and primed for self-destruction via stupidity, hypocrisy, infidelity, and/or TEH GAY at any moment. The best they've really got is Mitt and between his crazy magic underwear and south of John Kerry lack of charisma...well, their only logical recourse is Zombie Ronald Regan at this point.

OMG You Go Girl!!!

What a hoot!  The biggest closet case in Congress as chief spokesperson for the GOP?  It doesn't get any better than this.

That's " SPOKESMODEL", honey

can't you just see him twirling about 270 degrees and sweeping both arms towards Mitch McConnell just like those gals on The Price Is Right?

You realize that

if the "ever-lovely Miss Lindsay Graham" is outed, he will loose his commission in the Air Force Reserve b/c of DADT.  Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Lindsey Graham as the new sex person?

Clara Bow's titular "It" came from Elinor Glyn's novels.
Not that the Republican Party does not need a spokesperson for sex scandals, they very much do, as well as a spokesperson for mass killings inspired by Republican rhetoric.

But linking Clara Bow, Navimova, Hedy Lamar, all "it" girls with (closeted?) Lindsey Graham?

Sexual women everywhere protest!

Clara Bow, the "It" Girl,

famously had sex with the entire USC football team once.  (On the team was a young jock names Marion Morrison, who later became John Wayne.)  So Graham may have more in common with her than he'd like to admit.

Senator Kenneth?

Lindsey Graham's the more bearable of SC's senators.  (If that sounds odd to some folks, remember that aptly-named Jim DeMint somehow became our other one.)  Still, every time I see Lindsey speaking on television, I can't help wondering if he's related to Kenneth the Page from "30 Rock."

Which leads to the question: If Lindsey ran on a ticket with Bobby Jindal, would we then have to clone Jack McBrayer?

that's IT !!

I can't help wondering if [Graham] is related to Kenneth the Page from "30 Rock."

My subconscious thanks you for making that connection.  We shall both sleep better tonight!

We need the goods

If the man gets the Republican nomination for president and wins, a press conference outing him 5 minutes after he is sworn in to office would be fab-u-lous.

Now boys and girls, don't be all mean, lookist and snarky about the senator.

But seriously, I saw Graham a couple of days ago as the counter point to Sen Kerry on The News Hour, and he looked dreadful - pasty skin, lanky hair, and bags under his eye down to here.

Kerry, by the way, looked about 45 years old, fit and perfectly put together.

I couldn't stand to actually listen to either of them, so I fast forwarded on to the next segment. :)

Southern Belle

I know a Southern Belle when I see and hear one, and Lindsey Graham is definitely THAT! LOL

With a Southern Belle, you don't even need to see their FACE to know that they're gay.  Just listen!

They all want to be the new "Mrs deWinter" of the Republican Party

problem is that the ghost and memories of "Reagan-becca" continue to haunt the house and the fundies and religious ideologues simply cannot compete
