I doubt LG will return to live in SC after he is voted out in 2014, regardless what the current SC powers-that-be want. He doesn’t seem to show his face in the Upstate very often these days.

Graham can arm wrestle Larry Sinclair for an overnight in the Lincoln bedroom with Obama.

The Senator never misses an opportunity to demonstrate how big a POS he is. Them media always seem to be there to record every such occasion.

Unfortunately, even FoxNews broadcasts this crap.

Lindsey Graham represents everything I despise about the Republican Party.
