Lindsey Graham Is Stuck On Repeat


For whatever reason, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham seems incapable of talking about anything these days other than his visceral hatred for conservative radio host Glenn Beck.

It’s like there’s nothing else important going on in the world, you know?

What’s the deal, Linds?

Anyway, having already popped Beck during some hoity-toity Washington D.C. symposium last week, Graham (surprise) appeared on one of those Sunday political TV shows he loves so much to give the radio host “the business” once again.

“I’m not saying he’s bad for America,” Graham said of Beck on Fox News Sunday.

Moments later, Graham threw out what we can only assume he thought was an insult when he said “(Beck) doesn’t represent the Republican Party.”

Really? And Lindsey does?

More importantly, is “representing the Republican Party” really something to be proud of?

(And no, we’re not talking about that kind of pride, Lindsey).

After all, aren’t “Republicans” the fools whose repeated multi-billion dollar betrayals of the principles they were supposed to stand for ushered in the age of Obama? And wasn’t (isn’t) Lindsey chief among the fiscal conservative turncoats?

Anyway, not unlike fellow blatherer Rush Limbaugh, we’ve never listened to Glenn Beck. We just don’t listen to the radio, people. It’s not our “medium of choice.” We were given one of his books to read as a birthday present, but we’ve been so busy lately we haven’t had a chance to crack it open yet.

All we know about Beck is that he’s a pretty hard core conservative, which fine with us – and a helluva lot more than can be said for Graham.

Look, Lindsey … we get it. You’re a “Republican” and we’re not. Fine by us.

Moving on …
