South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham was “dead wrong” when he suggested the United States should boycott the 2014 Winter Olympics...House Speaker John Boehner said. ..“Listen, I love Sen. Graham. We’ve been close friends for 20 years..Boehner said.. “Why would we want to punish U.S. athletes who have been training for three years to compete in the Olympics... Graham said boycotting the Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, would “send the Russians the most unequivocal signal” ..what they’re doing is outrageous,... if they grant this guy asylum it’s a breach of the rule of law as we know it and is a slap in the face to the United States.

"What? Republicans aren’t (yet) talking about boycotting because of the homophobia of Russian law?"

That is the real reason Miss Lindsey Graham wants to boycott the Russian Olympics.

Graham to Boner” “Oh you brute, you brute, you brute!”, then dissolves into tears in Boner’s arms.

Obscure Blazing Saddles reference for you young ‘uns.

Boehner is being primaried. Probably the best thing that could’ve happened to him.

The Mr. Peanut 1980 boycott worked out so well.

At least that boycott had some merit.

Heck, if I could have, I definitely would have boycotted the 1936 Berlin Games.

Oh, Jeez! GMTA!

I posted without reading all of the posts in the thread.

You did one better—a visual! This was the exact scene I was thinking about.

Not to worry, not to worry, I'm sure McCain will step in and get them to kiss and make up.

Just a little tiff, just a little tiff, they'll be giggling again in no time.

Do you really believe that a boycott of the Olympics is called for?

Excellent characterization of the shallowness and desperation of these failures.

What about what the NSA is doing, is that not a 'slap in the face' to We the People who expect the 4th Amendment to be upheld and defended?

Apparently getting in a hissy fit with Putin over giving asylum to somebody showing that the US government is violating the Constitution is more important than said US government violating the Constitution.

My sweet wife died laughing when Sen. Lindsey Graham declared today, in no uncertain terms, that he just wanted to stop pootin. Senator, have you tried Pepto-Bismol, Kaopectate or Imodium AD? Heck, even Gas-X might help.
