I don't know about you, but for me?
Nothing says "new Republican leadership" quite like "Lindsay Graham". . .
NOT.
Excuse me, I need to LMAO at Jonathan Martin and Chris Cillizza (O/T: can we see Jonthan team up with Chris and Dana to create a trio of buffoonish "political analysts" on video? Can we? CAN WE?)
Evidently Martin and Cilizza independently came to the conclusion that, based on a MTP appearance this weekend, Lindsay Graham was signalling a new silliness, er, willingness to take on a more public leadership role in the Republican Party.
Go for it, Huckleberry! Because I know that many people, when seeing that the face of the Republican Party is yet another older, white, southern male, will most definitely feel the rush of the thrill of new leadership!

I guess the problem is that they can't find any 'new' faces but like you Lindsay Graham...ROTFLMAO:)

Mystifying, isn't it?

What the f...is this, Days of Our Lives? Lindsey has no family and is probably a gay in ecclesiastical garb anyway.
And his repub morman buddy sitting next to him looks like a model for men's underwear.
And we have to watch monkey face gregory interview them.

Gotta love that allusion to the "intensely private" Graham. Why all that intense privacy, dude?

I know, I got a couple people a little angry at me for bringing up some rather strong rumors on the net going back a year and a half or so.
Look, it was part of the south and the north...every family had an uncle lindsey who never married and really had few female escort to tea parties. It was 'understood' and never spoken of. ha
The point is that this man impeached MY PRESIDENT for moral failings according to his pretend moral code and I despise the son of a b....

When I first saw this headline, I thought "Billy Graham? Isn't he retired? Martha Graham? - she's dead." It never occurred to me that Lindsey would ever turn on Rove and DeLay. Sounds like Alfalfa has grown a pair and is willing to take on Spanky and Wheezer!

Martha Graham!!! ROTFLMAO!
I don't think he's turning on Rove or DeLay. He's savvy enough to know that outside of the freaked-out frothing Obama-hating conservative base, Rove and DeLay are liabilities.

I would just like to note that, their elected representatives aside, South Carolina has some really great people. Bright, funny, caring people.
Really.
Just what happens to them in the voting booth I am not quite sure, but I think it has something to do with a co-opted Jesus perpetrated on the populace by the born-agains. And that elections occur too soon after a third circle of hell summer (100 degrees, 98% humidity, day after day) which is compounded by the real fear and dread engendered by hurricane season. And the affection most misguided divorced women have for their walkers, of whom Lindsay Graham is a prime example.... if he's good at a dinner party, he must not be all bad... right?
OK, wrong. Absolutely wrong.
Who among you will volunteer to serve as a sanity missionary in South Carolina. Where the natives not only deserve to be enlightened, but surely need to be saved. Just say'in.

Well, as someone who lived in Mississippi for 7 years, I'd describe it as just like South Carolina, but without the charming politicians.
About the only interesting thing that happened (outside of Dicky Scruggs just getting pinched) was when the governor sued the attorney general.
Personally? I don't think it's the weather or the hurricane season. I think it's the kudzu.
That stuff is freaky.

Boy you said it. Talk about a race to the bottom - that's South Carolina and Mississippi.

No, we'll always have Arkansas for that!

Thank God NM is on the up. Still poor, but miles better on the political consciousness scale than SC and MS.

The phrase "grasping at straws" comes to mind on this particular Rorschach.

Kudzu. Of course. (smacks forehead)... and yet, Georgia has more Kudzu than South Carolina.... but of course it has more walkers, too.....

You mean, the party of family values has reduced itself to accepting a leader who is famililess?

It's WAY safer that way.

Besides, they've already tried "new" leadership. Remember Bobby Jindal?
