Graham: WH asked me to keep mum on 9/11 trial (Graham now reporting directly to Obama)

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who led an effort last week to prevent the Obama Administration from doing just what it did today in directing prosecution of the alleged Sept. 11 plotters into federal court, says he's keeping mum about that decision for now at the request of the White House.

"I have been asked by the White House to withhold comment about today’s Guantanamo decision until I can meet face-to-face with the President after he returns from Asia," Graham said in a statement released by his office. "As our Commander in Chief, I will honor his request. I look forward to discussing this issue further.”

Graham's silence on the issue today contrasts with the stance taken by many of his Republican colleagues, who wasted no time in blasting the administration. He also passed up the opportunity to dust off some of the pointed warnings he offered on the subject just eight days ago, when his amendment to ban civilian trials of the 9/11 plotters was voted down by the Senate on a 54-45 vote.

Time for Graham to go

[Jeff Head]

Graham simply has to go. Meeley mouthed, self-serving politician.

Gawd he is a disgusting little sellout puke. How do people get rid of this poofter?

[marstegreg]

It’s a good thing that he is so loyal to the White House. At least that way we know who to vote out!

[Darth Tokarev]

Why appoint a horse to the Senate when elected ones are so willing to be bridled?

[rabscuttle385]

McCain’s defeat next year will neuter Graham, who can then be defeated himself in 2014.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

hey Benedict Arnold nnville Chamberlain Graham,

King George the 3rd was Commander -in-chief of the English Military...

But your ancestors didnt “honor (any of) his requests” and they sure learnt that “discussing the issues” with him was a waste of time...

Is your blood that thin ???

Has the patriotism been bred out of you ???

Lindsey can you spell “appeasement” ???

[wita]

Geez the same 54 people on the list. Wonder what mystery the amendment contained that caused 54 of our elected representatives to be unable to vote for it.

[Salvation]

I’m thinking that Graham is going to get himself unelected!

[indylindy]

Nah, it won’t nueter Linseed. He is even worse than Juan McAmnesty.

He is now chasing along behind Obozo, just like the little gay girl he is.

[Amos the Prophet]

Graham is a man of no moral fortitude with the spine of a jellyfish. His soft morality belies a deeper squishiness.

[Natural Law]

Translated into plain English; “I don’t really care about what’s best for the country. I need to see what’s in it for me before I comment further.”

[Tennessee Nana]

“They did it !!! They really did it !!!”

[NurseZac]

He is so creepy.

[Rocky]

Please tell me South Carolina has had enough of this idiot.

[BigBobber]

"As our Commander in Chief, I will honor his request...

Hey Grahamsy Boy. He is commander in chief of the armed forces, not of civilians or the congress.

[manic4organic]

Does S.C. have any contenders to defeat this P.O.S? If so, they need to be archiving all this to use as ammo against him. It is time for a GOP enema all around.

[bmwcyle]

The homo must go.

[hal ogen]

Graham is one very confused individual. Whatever came of “checks-and-balances?” LOSER!

[Outlaw Woman]

Mr. Graham.......you're allegiance is to the United States Constitution and the Republic FIRST. You are as treasonous as the POTUS and are not immune by your re-election. You are burned into many memories now. However this ends, you will be forever branded. (imo)

[RGSpincich]

Obama is afraid to face the American people. A classic liberal cut and run to Japan for the anouncement from Holder.

[Neverforget01]

Wasn’t it a big deal that Obama carry a blackberry? Hey Senator Graham, do you know how to use a cell phone? There is no excuse for your silence!

[AuntB]

Graham and McCain are the face of the republican party according to the media....if not for those two, CBS, has no one else on to represent republicans. No wonder the GOP has no support.

[surfer]

Graham should be on trial...how bad is this all going to get? This is getting truly insane...our country is in serious danger from within...

[LADY J]

"As our Commander in Chief, I will honor his request..."

OMG!! You weasly little lap dog!

Using 'honor' in the same sentence about our Appeaser In Chief is laughable.

Anyway, we don't care what you say now or later. Someone with no common sense is of no interest to us.

Are there any other instructions from Bill Ayers’ favorite disciple that you’ve chosen to obey,you worthless piece of excrement?

Good boy Lindsay.

Roll over.

Buttlicking little sychophant weasel!

My first thought was either Lindsey or obama "Bowed" for the other one............lord what a mess.

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

I love your pictorials. Thank you. A picture is worth a thousand Teleprompter words.....

Do you have the series of "finger gestures" he made on the campaign? To Hillary twice in Oct '08 and McCain in Jacksonville, Nov '08. I read on FR Obama did the gesture again this past month....don't know the occasion.

[Steve_Seattle]

"As our Commander in Chief, I will honor his request..."

Graham needs to brush up on his grammar. Graham is not the commander-in-chief.

[ErnBatavia]

He sure does have that balls-across-the-chin look about him...

[Gay State Conservative]

WILL SOMEONE RID US OF THIS MEDLESOME RAT?

At the ballot box,of course

[Electric Graffiti]

I would imagine Graham’s FBI file would rival that of Barney Fags. Rest stop bathroom stall photos and the like.

Resign you lisping, chap-lipped, low-life SCUMBAG!

[Gay State Conservative]

He sure does have that balls-across-the-chin look about him...

Yup,an honors graduate of the Nina Burleigh Academy of President Subservience.

Graham: WH asked me to keep mum on 9/11 trial

I thought he was just quiet because he had John McCain's pubes stuck in his teeth.

[Pedrobud]

I’m thinking that Graham is going to get himself unelected!

Sure hope so.

[xjcsa]

He sure does have that balls-across-the-chin look about him...

Yep...see my post 43...(think I went too far?)

[Pedrobud]

He is trying to prove to the uneducated Americans that he is important. What an ego this moron has. She, I mean, he should call the president and talk about the topic.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Graham has taken the job as Obama’s useful idiot.

WH is hoping the hoopla will die down before them or know something else will knock it off the front page.

[samadams2000]

The pink poodle speaks!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

That was my second thought. Something wrong with a phone?

[Bluebird Singing]

Well, isn’t he special.
