Here’s a clip from the popular Hardball “Sideshow” segment — the part that covers the exact same stuff as the rest of the show but is tagged, arbitrarily, as being super wacky! — in which Lindsey Graham gets really gay about The Stimulus Package, because it doesn’t give Mother any funds with which to buy him a pony. Barbara Boxer shouts “GEORGE BUSH” just to shut him up, and Graham laments that no one ever buys him nice things. [YouTube]
Lindsey Graham is gay?
I just want to comment that Barbara Boxer is the best ever. I love watching her talk shit to Republicans like that. She’s one of the only Democrats who will actually call them out on their idiocy to their face!!
Ha ha, Barbara Boxer called Lindsay Graham “theatrical”, which is clearly code for “gay”.
Also, Barbara Boxer is clearly being played by Nora Dunn.
It looks like Barbara is holding Lindsey’s purse in that clip…
hobospacejungle: Is Obama a Muslin?
freakishlystrong: I see your point.
freakishlystrong: Does the Pope shit in the woods?
Josh Fruhlinger: It would have a lot funnier if she had called him a “drama queen.”
hobospacejungle: democrats are gay. i believe republican’s are just “morally weak”
The half dozen or so Democrats in Oklahoma love Barbara Boxer. After the Dems took over congress, she got in a smackdown with Jim Inhofe, one of the idiot child senators from our backward state. She put dumbo in his place and grateful Oklahomans sent her so many floral arrangements, her office staff started taking them to vets in Walter Reed because they ran out of room in her senate office.
Oh, pleeze, let her take on spooky Dr. Tom Coburn and swing that fat bill and hit in the nose with it. Okie Dems and DC florists would be giddy with delight.
Let me help; the word you’re searching for, Barabara dear, is “flamboyant.”
hobospacejungle: I just wish he’d come out already, talk about “theatrical”..Jeebus, he’d postively swoon and get the vayyporhas…
hobospacejungle: Is he gay? If I’m not mistaken, he’s a Republican.
oh man, i guess larry craig’s beard has a got a tight leash on his manhole these days. craig can’t come out to play anymore and lindsey haz a sad.
“Charles Nelson Riley never spoke as fay as Lindsey Graham” - Richard Simmons
Too bad McCain and the
Moose Murdering Milf
didn’t get elected.
Then, when Sarah (Smile)
was “running the Senate”,
you know, as it says right
there in the Constitution,
when “the fur flew” you’d
at least hope to get a
good upskirt now and then.
I really regret the Sarah (Smile)
isn’t there — every day
the session could open to
the tune of that old Hall and
Oates fave.
I’ll say it. Personally I’m GLAD no one ever buys him nice things!
Scarab: I applaud your Charles Nelson Reilly reference which i was so desperately trying to concoct
Sen. Boxer should never question the ability of Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-Closet) to speak to the people of his party.
I’ve watched CSPN off and on today and have come to a deeply intellectual conclusion:
Republicans are rat bastards.
Barbara Boxer calls Lindsay Graham gay, which is great. And then Chris Matthews calls Andy Card gay and an asshole! Usually when Chris Matthews talks, he ends up saying something homoerotic and asinine, so I was surprised. Pleasantly so.
DustBowlBlues: I heard “Dr” Coburn say, on Meet the Fucking Press, that docs who do abortions should get the death penalty. He so cray-zee!
Fred Harris was a good guy. What happened to Oklahoma?
shanemacgowan: ” Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-Closet)”
You win.
DustBowlBlues:
My thoughts exactly.
Yeowww! Chrissie called Andy Card “dainty”. Pot calling the kettle black.
I was a bit disappointed. Was anyone else hoping for a *literal* slapfight between Graham and Boxer? My money would be on Boxer. In addition to her last name, she’s probably more flexible and fit than Graham. Yoga vs. Fried Chicken…think about it.
Obama basically needs to call a joint session of Congress and then walk down there and describe to the House and the Senate exactly why their combined popularity rating is somewhere in Detroit Lions territory. Get personal. Get specific. And most of all, emphasize that it’s really rich of them to even open their fucking mouths when he’s been on the job all of two weeks, while they’re sitting around with their free health care for life and created this fucking mess in the first place. Then tell them to shut up and vote, or he’ll call in the Guard to kick them out and have the rotunda reassigned as emergency housing for the poor and elderly.
dirtyboypdx: Barbara has trained better for the fight. I think the keys for her include working the body early, as Graham will try to protect his hair in the early rounds. As his Brylcreem gets into his eyes and he begins to whisper, “Bitch!” she can think about going upstairs and taking him out. She doesn’t want to work in too close, for fear of head butting; Graham seems to be one of the biggest buttheads in the Senate. I’d say Boxer is a 4-1 favorite.
If I ever run into Andy Card, I fully intend to vomit all over his suit, no matter how healthy/sober I might be at the time.
Do you think someone should tell Lindsey Graham how gay he is? He is from the South…maybe he just thinks that’s being genteel.
Also, whoopee for one Californian politician who doesn’t totally suck. Team Boxer.
Sussemilch: Best idea I’ve heard all day.
“…my ability to express my opinions to members of my own party…”
That’s just the point, Senator Graham. You’re not just talking to members of your own idiot party any more.
I liked the part where he thinks his show invented the word hardball.
V572625694: “What happened to Oklahoma?”
The worst and most conservative newspaper in America, under-funding of public education and, of course. Jesus. Typical southern strategy shit combined with high illiteracy rates. Hate radio. But, mostly, Jesus–in a form his father would never recognize.
True story: When Spooky Dr. Tom was campaigning in se OK, he was taped telling that old story about lesbianism being so rampant in a school down there that girls were only allowed to go to the bathroom one at a time. A Democratic bulletin board announced it with this headline: 18 ft. Lesbian Invades Little Dixie.
Sad but true, the home of the Joad family is made up of people who are dumb as fucking stumps.
BTW–I’ve been watching the debate, sort of, and I have a question for anyone from Kentucky or North Dakota:
WTF–No offense, but is Bunning senile or retarded? He has to be one or the other.
How far up his ass is Thune’s head? Anyone ever notice Thune kind of resembles Rick hot-man-on-dog-action Santorum?
Gay or not, Lindsey Graham wrote some great songs for Fleetwood Mac:
“Blow Your Own Way” (dedicated to Larry Craig)
“(I Am A) Gypsy”
“Big Love” (which went on to become a hit show about Mitt Romney on HBO)
“Don’t Stop (Think’ About My Penis)”
“Rhiannon” (the name of Sarah Palin’s next baby, perhaps?)
loquaciousmusic: were you thinking about this while you were teaching your young and impressionables?
This is why we Californians will keep re-electing Boxer forever and ever. The lady takes NO SHIT from anyone.
lawrenceofthedesert: As his Brylcreem gets into his eyes and he begins to whimper, “Bitch!”
There, fixed it for ya.
Sussemilch: I like this program for Obama that you’ve outlined.
Didn’t Tom Delay, when he was majority whip allow a whole 20 minutes to deliberate on a bill when it finally arrived from the lobbyists?
Also, I would point out that Bernie Madoff is always impeccably dressed, and he has good manners, too!
Deepthroat: No, but one of my sixth graders did ask me if Ozzy Osbourne got rabies from biting the head off a bat. I said “yes.”
