Waterboarding-lover and generally bad human Lindsey Graham met with Sonia Sotomayor today as she was making her “rounds,” in Congress. While most legislators have simply said afterward that they had a pleasant, interesting conversation with her, Lindsey Graham bragged to reporters about how he told her, “Sonia, you would not believe how much I want to vote against you. It is literally insane, the level of hatred I have towards you, personally.” MORE »

Mean old fartsack Lindsey Graham spoke at the “South Carolina GOP Convention” this weekend and made an enemy of RON PAUL and his supporters, the Paultards, by denouncing libertarianism and Liberty. And then he told everyone to leave, because Jim DeMint was about to shoot a firecracker out of his ass. MORE »

Wasn’t Lindsey “Grahamnesty” one of those Republicans who hated torture so much? It was “Grahamnesty” and John Warner and John McCain. “Waterboarding, under any circumstances, represents a clear violation of U.S. law,” they wrote in 2007. But Graham has since determined that hmm, nevermind, Dick Cheney says on the teevee that torture works, and it’s worked for “500 years,” so why do all of these liberals refuse to acknowledge Torquemada for keeping America safe these past eight years?

On Monday night your two Wonkette associate editors attended a Dinner Party thrown by the digest The Week, called The Week Opinion Awards, and we’re only posting about it now because hey, shut up. It was somewhat “A-List,” meaning (a) why the poo were we invited and (b) why the poo did we go? Because after only four seconds at the opening cocktail party, your male associate editor was begging Sara to leave. But two full glasses of gin over the next four seconds changed that attitude into “LET’S GO FUCK WITH LINDSEY GRAHAM” and we stayed for the dinner after all. MORE »

For the past seven million hours, conservative aggregateur Matt Drudge has been blaring the main headline, “OBAMA MOVES TOWARD ‘SWEDISH MODEL’ FOR BANKS,” replete with a sacrilege photo of the profane Swedish flag. The “Swedish Model” is “code” for the evil thing the Swedish government did in the early 1990s after a major real estate and financial bubble: nationalized the biggest insolvent banks, fixed them, and put them back on the market, the end. In other words, it is basically Red Marxism and Islam combined. And now, free-market fappers Lindsey Graham, his “live-in” John McCain, and even Alan Greenspan — who caused the entire crisis, for fun — are voicing their support for Swedish Communist Revolution!

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]

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]

Make sure you’re sitting down and wearing like 20-25 straitjackets when you read this: “At this defining–” blah blah blah we’re bored, you’re bored, enough. Don’t read the rest of this two-paragraph statement, it’s gross! Hint: there are only two proper nouns (the excitin’ ones!) in it: “Washington” and “Americans.” Obviously they talked about neither of those things! Just watch that hilarious video again instead. Check out the shot about halfway through of gay Lindsey Graham staring at hunky Obama and thinking, “All we need is a bottle of ranch dressing and some firecrackers, and I’ve already got the ranch.” [Ben Smith]

Yum yum yum a fancy new Obama press release: “On Monday, President-elect Barack Obama and Senator John McCain will meet in Chicago at transition headquarters. It’s well known that they share an important belief that Americans want and deserve a more effective and efficient government, and will discuss ways to work together to make that a reality. They will be joined in the meeting by Senator Lindsey Graham and Congressman Rahm Emanuel.” Ha ha — “It’s well known.” Also, why is Lindsey Graham still following Walnuts around? Lindsey! Man up and ASK HIM OUT ALREADY. [The Page]

• LIEBERMAN-REID MEETING RESULTS IN NOTHING OF ANY VALUE: Harry Reid’s detention hour with Joe Lieberman has ended with “no decisions made.” This is Reid’s standard declaration when he knows he’s about to capitulate on something. And of course, Lieberman is being an asshole now and trying to control the conversation, saying that an end to “partisanship” is one of “the standards I will use in considering the options that I have before me.” Oh fuck off and join the GOP already. Who cares about filibusters. Just leave. Leave and go get gay-married to Lindsey Graham in Connecticut. [TPM Election Central]

Here’s potentially gay Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of McCain’s most ardent supporters, on the Fox News Sunday program alongside famous mule-bot John Kerry. He’s presented with some poll numbers that look good for Obama after the debate. Graham offers one sentence of pro-McCain spin and then starts whining about how tired he is and basically says OBAMA IS THE BEST THERE ARE YOU HAPPY CHRIS WALLACE? John Kerry stoically agrees and then everyone makes out. [Crooks & Liars]
