Washington- The Capitol was briefly evacuated this morning when a fire alarm pull station was activated on the senate floor after an argument amongst the South Carolina delegation. Senator Lindsey Graham (REPUBLICAN) was later arrested by Capitol Police in a bed room at John McCain's (REPUBLICAN) nearby town home and charged with the false alarm.
Unnamed sources present on the floor at the time say Senators Graham (REPUBLICAN) and Jim DeMint (REPUBLICAN) were having a heated discussion over Graham's recent vote in favor of Elaine Kagan’s successful nomination to the United States Supreme Court, as well as his general squishiness. It appears that at the height of the argument Senator DeMint (REPUBLICAN) slapped Senator Graham (REPUBLICAN) with a rolled up two page copy of the United States Constitution.
“He just sort of froze,” said one witness. “I couldn't tell whether he was going to cry or snap. He snapped.”
According to sources Senator Graham then screamed “I sick and tired of you and your Tea Party bitches!” and unleashed a tirade of obscenities. His rant is also said to have included references to ‘hick country folk’ and ‘reaching around the aisle’. He then pulled the fire alarm, grabbed a bottle of Chablis from the Senate mini fridge and slid down banister to the lobby. Witnesses say he then sped off in his pink Mini Cooper headed toward Georgetown.
Capitol Police picked up the Senator about an hour later at the town home of close friend Senator John McCain (REPUBLICAN) after receiving a call from the Senator's daughter, Meghan McCain (REPUBLICAN) who was hosting a brunch for former Journolist members at the time.
Gotta love it!
Some days your the windshield, today I'm the bug.
Nope. If the demand goes up so will prices. Free market economics and all that.
Oh it’s great I only know they don’t come in pink because we looked at them recently. :)
“There’s been rumors to that effect.”
The reason I don’t like Lindsey G is that if he is Ghey, they left can use that as leverage to control him, and there is little doubt he is a puppet of the left.
