Lindsey Graham Says Country Is ‘Screwed,’ Because Of Obama

Here’s Sen. Lindsey Graham, on one of the Sunday shows that no one watches, telling America that it is “screwed” because of the lack of bipartisanship re: the stimulus package. If Obama wants to work with Republicans ever again, each bill he considers had damn well better include a capital gains tax cut. WE WANT PEOPLE TO INVEST, DUH? [YouTube]

    what he meant to say, is that he WISHES he was getting screwed by barry. that evil muslin barry just won’t have buttsecks with poor lindsay, and he just can’t figure out why. life is so unfair.

  2. Sussemilch says at 3:35 pm, February 16th, 2009

    “I know bipartisanship when I see it. I’ve participated in it.”

    That’s his secret word for… you know. Screwing everyone.

  3. President Beeblebrox says at 3:37 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Lindsey is so good at acting butthurt.

  4. Hedley Lamar says at 3:38 pm, February 16th, 2009

    What a hysterical little shit. Way to go repugs!

  5. freakishlystrong says at 3:39 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Oh, Lindsey, come out of the closet, it’s ok. Oh, and Linds? The country is indeed screwed, but not because of “bi-partisinship”, not by a long shot.

  6. Gopherit says at 3:39 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Those poor republicans just give and GIVE! And they don’t even get sternly worded memos anymore!!! Doesn’t anyone care?

  7. Hooray For Anything says at 3:43 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Dear Republicans– you lost. In fact, you’ve lost the last two elections in a row. In other words, STFU

  8. WonkaBee says at 3:46 pm, February 16th, 2009

    He’s bi?

    Or he takes two partners at one time? On a ship?

    I’m confused…

    The GOP is programmed for “NO” and any bill short of a full-on whoring homage to Reaganomics was bound to fail in their view. Cokie Roberts and her gang were all sporting the same message lie on NPR this morning. Lazy asshats like George S. let that shit slide because to do otherwise would mark them for auto expulsion from the same club that twats like Graham belong to. STFU already.

  10. Well there goes ‘Investor Confidence’. We know Wall Street hangs on his every word

  11. GlennBecksFelch says at 3:53 pm, February 16th, 2009

    bitchincamaro: What ever happened to Cokie? She used to have values and sense. Now she’s a lost parrot. Is it her strong feelings for George Will that confuse her so? We need a Wonkette operative to source this please.

  12. Bearbloke says at 3:53 pm, February 16th, 2009

    What, Lindsey is complaining about being screwed by his Mandigo Overlord Obama?… tsk, tsk, me thinks the Senatrix doth protest too much….

  13. IceCreamEmpress says at 3:53 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Lindsey Graham is hilarious. ‘THIS BILL SUCKS BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH MONEY FOR SMALL BUSINESS’ Jesus Christ, Lindsey, if you cared all that fucking much about small fucking business, maybe you should have tossed them a bone in the last bazillion-dollar stimulus package.

  14. wickedlittledoll says at 3:54 pm, February 16th, 2009

    And don’t forget his good buddy John McCain’s generational theft rant. Oh what could have been had American not elected that Socialist as president!

    Tax cuts are always popular among those with incomes on which they might owe said taxes.

  16. Hooray For Anything says at 3:55 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Graham knows a lot about bipartisanship as he was a leader in one of the great moments of bipartisanship, the Clinton impeachment.

  17. StripesAndPlaids says at 3:57 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Lindsay Graham is a moron. He is an asshat. He is the picture of what is wrong with politics in this country: say whatever you have to, regardless of its intellectual or actual dishonesty, as long as it will advance your political agenda. He views politics like SEC football: I like my team; I hate your team.

    That said, compared to SC’s OTHER senator, Jim DeMint, Lindsay Graham is a saint.

  18. ManchuCandidate says at 3:59 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Awwww Pwoor Windsee. Baby need a kwapital gwains cut or just gwassy?

  19. Oh, Senator Graham. Did you make that whine out of sour grapes?

  20. Heywood Floyd says at 4:05 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Lindsey Graham is a sex scandal waiting to happen. It will be bad. It will be VERY bad.

  21. Serolf Divad says at 4:06 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Quick, call the waaaaaahmbulance, Lindsey Graham is having a hissy fit.

  22. tehbenton says at 4:08 pm, February 16th, 2009

    “You started out with the idea of, ‘We won, we write the bill.’”

    Schadenfreude sucks, doesn’t it, Lindsay?

    He reminds me so much of Divine in Female Trouble. “I’ve DONE everything a republican can do! I’ve locked them in their room, I’ve beat them with the car aerial, nothing changes them! It’s HARD being a loving republican!”

    Lemme get my tiny violin, Lindsay. I’ll play you a dirge.

  23. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:10 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Dear Lindsey:
    You are still a totally unfuckable bottom. Please STFU and go away.
    No love,
    Americans everywhere

  24. madtowngooner says at 4:35 pm, February 16th, 2009

    I’ve been waiting all day for Wonkette to post something about the GOP and bipartisianship and it looks like a lot my Wonkette homies have been waiting, too. Here are my well thought out comments. You should be fucked in teh ass with the Devil’s own barbed cock you motherfucking bastard puppy killing asshats. Please, if there is a god, let the republican party disappear like Atlantis under a tsunami of their own piss.

    Now, I feel better.

  25. Is Lindsey a confused girl on hormones?

  26. gurukalehuru says at 4:39 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Did he say “bi parties and shit” or “bi parties on a ship?” I’m confused.

  27. nonbeliever7 says at 4:50 pm, February 16th, 2009

    As our Chosen One has stated, we’ve had 8 years of 99.7% Republican economic, domestic and foreign policy. EXPERIMENT OVER. RESULTS CONFIRMED. IT DOESN’T WORK. (except for that abstinence policy…that was really great…wheeee).

  28. hobospacejungle says at 5:06 pm, February 16th, 2009

    A homo says what?

  29. AnnieGetYourFun says at 5:46 pm, February 16th, 2009

    I honestly don’t understand how Lindsey doesn’t spend his entire life on the receiving end of a long line of swirlies in the Congressional bathrooms.

    Huh. You know, “swirlies” could mean so many things in this context.

  30. Bearbloke says at 5:54 pm, February 16th, 2009

    madtowngooner: Concise, succinct, and understated as well….

  31. Bearbloke says at 6:05 pm, February 16th, 2009

    queeraselvis v 2.0: Hey - that’s just what little Lindsey’s Pappy told him on his 17th birthday - but Pappy called him a “fat pasty turd” first…

  32. comradepaulson says at 6:09 pm, February 16th, 2009

    It’s almost like Lindsey enjoys being an ass-hat. Wait a minute…

  33. sati demise says at 6:42 pm, February 16th, 2009

    hobospacejungle: talking about getting screwed or something. typical.

  34. sailingthestyx says at 7:15 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Lindsey’s really focused on screwing and blowing…

  35. Clearly all of that babbling is an unconscious plea for someone to stuff something in his mouth to shut him up.

  36. DustBowlBlues says at 8:54 pm, February 16th, 2009

    What? Lindsay Graham identified without the identification from a brilliant wonkeratti I can’t remember

    –Lindsay Graham (R–Closet).

  37. The country is “Screwed?” Interesting selection of phrase for a Baptist Evangelical. Perhaps “projection“, as the libtard Freud would might speculate.

    Lindsay, keep Hope alive. Then you can show the “bi” in bipartisanship.

  38. I really could use a capital gains tax cut. I just looked at my brokerage account and I’m up 50%!

    Oh wait, there’s a negative sign in front of that… nevermind.

  39. On a less serious note, the Repugs’ opposition to Barry’s Stimulus Package is ideological rather than pragmatic. Half the package has been wasted by Barry thru the Bi-Pard, kissy-face tax credits demanded by the Repugs in order that they, in the eyes of the faithful, might remain consonant with Saint Ronnie and his (failed) concept of “Trickle Down” economics.

    To salve the Mouton Cadet-sipping, country-club fury of party loyalists about Bush’s deficit spending (excluding any element of the off-budget, near trillion dollars tossed down a rat hole during Operation Iraqi Free-funding), the Repugs will not support Barry’s Stimulus Package unless it is devoid of any expenditures, even those meant to reconstruct firehouses, hospitals and orphanages.

  40. Enough of this pussy Barry bipart crap. The Repugs will use it only for their own gain and to make a swift stab in the back.

    For every one you take to the body, you must back give two.

  41. S.Luggo: Sorry. “You must give back two.”

  42. I’m procrastinating on the video. Does he start crying like he did on the Senate floor when he was apologizing to Samuel Alito?
    Of course, the thought of those hearings brings a little tear to my eyes also. Also.

  43. Mr Blifil says at 11:53 pm, February 16th, 2009

    How do Lindsay’s wife and kids countenance his being such a royal douche? Oh waitaminnit…single and well over 40 am I right? There must be a simple explanation.

  44. KittyLitter says at 1:09 am, February 17th, 2009

    When they make a TV movie out of the inevitable Miz Lindsey’s sex scandal (you know she’s in the reserves, so it will probably start with a complaint from a soldier that Miz Lindsey spends hours each day in the showers laboriously lathering her ass-crack while staring at the other soldier’s privates), I demand that she be played by Leslie Jordan in platform shoes…

  45. BruceLee5000 says at 3:05 am, February 17th, 2009

    I would like to split LG’s fucking head wide open. After he told Geitner “so basically you have no idea?!” he went from being McSame’s passive little bitch buddy to a straight up malevolent piece of shit.

    I just take solace in Newsweek’s behind the scenes campaign coverage that painted Grahm as complete and utter piss ant cock suck.

  47. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 6:06 am, February 17th, 2009

    Quacker: I think so. Since he’s all into nationalizing (read socializing) the banks. Fucking pinko.
