Graham Comes Out

Quote the First:

On four occasions, Graham met with Tea Party groups. The first, in his Senate office, was “very, very contentious,” he recalled. During a later meeting, in Charleston, Graham said he challenged them: “ ‘What do you want to do? You take back your country — and do what with it?’ . . . Everybody went from being kind of hostile to just dead silent.”

Quote the Second:

“Like maybe I’m having a clandestine affair with Ricky Martin,” he said. “I know it’s really gonna upset a lot of gay men – I’m sure hundreds of ‘em are gonna be jumping off the Golden Gate bridge – but I ain’t available. I ain’t gay. Sorry.”

Like anyone would want to have sex with someone who says they shouldn’t be free to have sex.

I’m predicting more of this between now and November. For those of you who’ve forgotten, here’s Graham meeting the “teabag terror”:

There have been others. One name to watch is Mike Castle of Delaware. By September, we’ll have a leading indicator on the depth of the teabagger fail.

    I ran into my AP History Teacher in a very sleazy gay bar once. He was about as attractive as Lindsey Graham–no pair of chaps could make up for the whiny, unctuous personality.
    I'll tell you one person who's nauseous this morning. Ricki Martin.
