Of course, the House of Representatives is chock full of Republicans who are even worse.

Hard to believe, I know.

But true.

Jeez Lindsey! What Do They Have On You?

At one point in the not too distant past, Senator Lindsey Graham, or as I call him with a certain fondness, "The Belle of the South", was anti-Trump and pro-reaching across the aisle, at least in some instances.

He called the Great Orange MAGAt "dangerous" "absurd" "bombastic" "not fit" and "stupid". All of which are true, by the way.

Lindsey was also besties with the late, unlamented, John McCain, who Trump has shat on at every opportunity, while McCain lived and even after he died.

But then, something changed...

Now Lindsey enjoys golfing with the MAGAt. Now Lindsey tweets things like "Happy Birthday, Mr. President! You're keeping your promise to make America safer and more prosperous."

And "President Trump clearly relishes being the Law and Order president and a strong Commander in Chief."

This isn't your garden variety Republican hypocrisy, which we are all more or less used to by now.

No, this something different. You don't just suddenly decide to kiss up to a sleazy rat bastard who demeans and disrespects your best friend. Not if you have any character, that is.

The 180 degree reversal began after Graham announced that his email had been hacked.

One is forced to speculate that someone is blackmailing the Senator with the contents of those emails.

So, the operative question is, what do they have on you Lindsey?

Must be something really bad, huh? Is it little girls? Little boys? Big boys? Animals?

After all, a Southern gentleman's reputation is everything. And the fear of having it besmirched by anything, especially the truth, can force a fella to act in very strange ways.

Stupid Never Goes Out Of Style

Lemme see if I've got this right.

The same guys who told us that the Iraq War would be "a cake walk" and that the "war would pay for itself" and that "Saddam had WMD's and was this close to getting nukes" and that "we would be welcomed as liberators" and who cheered numbnuts' "Mission Accomplished" photo op like teenage girls at a Justin Bieber concert, are telling us now just how awful the President's Iran deal is...

And some poor, dumb, bastards actually believe them!

This is the true beauty of America: you can be wrong about everything. Everything. Every fucking thing!

And they'll still find a place for you on the Sunday chat shows to expound upon whatever topic you choose.

All those chickenhawk punks get a place at the table. Cheney, Graham, Bolton, Wolfowitz,  Kristol, and every last one of the Bushes.

Oh, and let's not forget John "Bomb Iran" McCain, who is supposed to be so wise about foreign affairs...without there being any evidence to prove that supposition.

And yet some media types continue to pretend that these clowns' totally empty heads contain knowledge.

Hey, if you're stupid enough to fall for that again you are, quite simply, beyond redemption, and you deserve whatever happens to you and yours.
