Beloved South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is gay for three things: Joe Lieberman, John McCain, and acting like a responsible adult once every year or so, to no avail. It is for Lindsey Graham’s latest bout with his third gayness that the Charleston County GOP has now censured him, which is the political term for “doing nothing of any value.”
The Charleston County Republican Party’s executive committee took the unusual step Monday night of censuring U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. because of several positions he has taken that clash with the GOP party line.
[...]
The resolution mentions Graham’s cooperation with U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., on energy legislation to his support for the $700 billion Troubled Assett Relief Program to his calling some opponents “bigots” when they opposed his immigration stance.
Right, well, they’d already gotten over his TARP support and his famous GRAHAMNESTY episode in 2007, so this is really about the fact that he recently co-wrote one column with John Kerry in the Washington Post a few weeks ago arguing that an energy bill might be good. CENSURE HIM!
The wingnuts, if rational, would realize that if the GOP offered up 15 Senators to vote for things like health care reform or energy reform, in exchange for certain demands, Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel would be more than happy to acquiesce, and Republicans would be able to weed the bills of many of the things they find so scary that are now more likely to pass, without their participation.
But negotiation es tyranny! Tyranny es no no, freedom, etc.
Charleston GOP censures Sen. Graham [Charleston Post and Courier]
Poor Lindsey. Always a bridesmaid. Never a bride.
Christ deliverance Joe Lieberman is ugly.
Maybe they meant “censer” as in whack him on the head with a brass censer …
I would think Lindsey is also gay for uhm, gayness.
They should throw condoms on each others’ lawns to resolve this like Republicans.
Censurship is un-Merkin.
Who’s wearing the blue dress now, Lindsey?
This censure means that he has one year to work his way back to his traditionally enjoyed status of “confirmed bachelor” rather than “his total queerness.”
If the GOP was rational, it would get out of politics and enter become a STAY AT HOME MOM MAKING $57 AN HOUR through my SIMPLE money-making OPPORTUNITY.
He should make a sex tape (censured, of course), and go on Hannity to talk about it. That would show ‘em.
There’s been some question as to how best Cocktoberize the month of November. In the interest of us reaching a genial consensus, I’m providing the following list for your review:
HOvember: sex (female)
BROvember: sex (male)
BLOvember: drugs (cocaine); alt: sex (oral)
PO-POvember: crime (arrest)
NO-MEANS-NOvember: assault (sexual)
FROvember: racism (Michael Steele)
YOvember: racism (Lou Dobbs)
CHOvember: racism (RightBloggerPat)
D’OH!vember: stupidity (Republican)
ROGUEvember: Palin (all)
JOEvember: Lieberman (health care)
NoMEMBER: spinelessness (Democrats)
In the case of this story, the following could concievably apply: Brovember; Blovember (oral sex); D’oh!vember; Joevember; Nomember.
Additions, suggestions, and used condoms are of course always welcome. (Mmm, cum!)
I can’t read all those words, but that picture looks like Lieberman and Graham are a married couple on board game night at the neighbor’s, and it’s making me sick.
shortsshortsshorts: GRAMMAR HACK GRAMMAR HACK GRAMMAR HACK.
Sic semper tyranus suck a bag of rat dicks I have no pity for Linsey
what, did he say “the poor aint so bad”?
Lyndsey “Light Loafers” Graham wants to tell those GOPers to let him stick their “resolutions” right up their asses. Pleeeezz.
Mustang: They do look like some older gay male couples I have seen. Too bad Linzie can’t admit his true love. Although I thought he was hot for McCain.
finallyhappy: See how he’s admiring the way Lieberman can put his arm up above his head? He may be in bed with McCain, but he’s clearly mentally undressing Joe.
I’m gonna go throw up now
Total old gay couple. And Joe’s the top.
Wait just one minute! Is Lyndsey eating something MEXICAN?! Treason!
That’s whut he gets fer hangin out wid JOOS.
shortsshortsshorts: Hey, Billy Mays here and I want to introduce you to the awesome cleansing power of “ProxyClean” it has the power to wipe away the most unpleasant,unpleasantness without ever having to actually touch it. Just add a little “batshitcrazy” to Proxyclean and you can cleanse a mer’can county republican party of a not-yet-outed gay republican senator who has gotten too close to a leftist, commie,socialist, big haired democrat. But wait….there’s more…
Extemporanus: If some scandal breaks around Willow Palin (and there have been hints) this could be WILLOW-vember.
There should be a name for whatever syndrome it is that causes someone to like Joe Lieberman.
“Censure” him? What kind of pansy-ass bullshit is THAT from South Carolina? Aren’t they supposed to shoot traitors down there?
Other things a SC GOPer can be censured for:
> Holding the door for Nancy Pelosi.
> Not sacrificing oxen to Ronald Reagan.
> Failure to kick Bo Obama in the ass, hard, if no one’s looking.
The committee wants him censured “for many of the positions he has taken that do not represent the wishes of the people of South Carolina.”
LG many positions:
1. Opposes marriage between brother and sister.
2. Favors book larnin’, pasteurization and use of handkerchiefs.
3. Does not want to round-up and kill all the gypsies.
4. Pro-indoor plumbing.
5. Not bothered if a white person weds an I-talian.
Oldskool: There is.
Aflac Shrugged: “The world needs more Liebermans, not fewer.”
- Sarah Palin, SLOvember 10, 2009
tiger: Shuh. Lindsey = power bottom
Extemporanus: Awesome!
Hey, don’t these South Carolina GOPer’s like to go to graveyards?
A poster of Linsey in cowboy hat and assless chaps - Oooo, smash hit with Denny’s truckers, Minute Men and Douchebagger Beckerheads at Fox Noise!
Lindsey looks alot like Ratso Rizzo. Check his pockets for coldcuts (or, if you live anywhere but the northeast, “Luncheon Meat). See if he has any used rubbers while you’re at it.
They’re censuring him “because of several positions he has taken”. Yep, the positions must be bottom and sucker (’cause going the other way in either act is totally not gay).
S.Luggo: No fraternizing with the aborigines!
OhTheHorror: Extemporanus: This lexicographical effusion causes me great pleasure too.
Aflac Shrugged: Ha. How about Leiberfuckel’s? Kind of catchy, eh.
Cheer up, Lindsey. It’s just a matter of time before US Merika elects another douche like bush who’ll invade countries on a whim, subvert the Constitution, and tickle Joe Lieberman’s prostate.
Extemporanus: I hereby censer you (don’t cough) for inviting discussion on this vital issue. (BLOvember, also.)
“The wingnuts, if rational, would realize that if the GOP offered up 15 Senators to vote for things like health care reform or energy reform, in exchange for certain demands, Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel would be more than happy to acquiesce, and Republicans would be able to weed the bills of many of the things they find so scary that are now more likely to pass, without their participation.”
Yeah sure Jim, ORRRRR they could just pledge not to vote for the legislation under any circumstances yet demand that the Democrats water it down to please them anyway, which is exactly what they did with TARP and the stimulus and the public option and the energy bill and it worked.
Oldskool: That would make one totally ausegefukt.
Not to get all serious, but I’ve often wondered why Republicans, who are supposed to business-like, simply didn’t say something like, “Okay, we’ll give you healthcare, including a public option if you like it, and YOU GIVE US UNION REFORM including letting members vote on which candidates their dues support.”
I mean, wtf, isn’t that like … trade? Don’t they like fair trade?
Extemporanus: The Party of NOvember?
shadowMark: “trade” yes, fair trade, no. Those boy prossies don’t just get to set their own rates.
Blowvember.
Oldskool: There should be a name for whatever syndrome it is that causes
someone to likeJoe Lieberman.Fixed.
glamourdammerung: Dudes. As in, Lindsey is gay for “dudes.” If Lindsey were gay for gayness, he’d be marching in the South Carolina Gay Republican Pride Parade. Or rather, he would be that parade.
Extemporanus: You have performed a wonderful community service for our Wonkette. +1
WadISay: “> Not sacrificing oxen to Ronald Reagan.”
Oxen? Where have you been? You get censured for not sacrificing children.
“…his third gayness”
Priceless. I didn’t know that there were multiple gaynesses. What’s the third gayness? Is that like Taco Bell’s “Fourthmeal”.
shadowMark: Link was from 2008. Ancient history.
Let them kick Miss Lindsey out of South Carolina. Teresa will make him president of the Heinz Museum and I’ll guarantee him the lead float in next year’s Gay Pride Parade, where he can wear his military uniform for extra panache. He’ll love it in the ‘burgh. I hear a couple of the Steelers swing his way.
They must’ve seen an anonymous Internet comment that Lindsey Graham takes it up the cornhole. I believe that was on The Daily Show at one point. You might have seen it.
assistant/atlas: I was trying to be nice and not mention that Lindsey is like an octopus at the all one can eat cock buffet.
Lindsay can take about an hour on the tower of power
As long as he gets a little golden shower
Extemporanus: You left out SLOWvember. Why do you hate Trigg Palin?
Today Krugman said GOP Lindsey represents the rump of the party. I’d say he more like the party sphincter.
vladster: Sorry, that was from NO-member 9th. The Pony Express guy just left…
tiger: But Lindsey is a power bottom.
Advocatus_Diaboli: George the Father, George the Son, Jeb the Holy Ghost!
So how many GOP factions are there? I remember the robber barons, the religious fanatics, the racists. What else?
Can we hope they will have a civil war with each other, leave the rest of humanity alone?
Lindsey is just miffed ’cause he knows the actually meaning of “Teabaggin” and has a small tat for every one he received and they are lined up across his lumbar like a tramp-stamp…
smitallica: For the record, I don’t hate Trig Palin.
It’s just that my “-vember” allusion to him last night was made a little too obliquely.
MGBYG: It’s “The Mark of the Sugar Plum Oolongs”.
