Personally, I find Lindsey Graham's interview about dating Palin, Fiorina, just abused-wife-ish.

[closeupready]

Not funny or amusing. Why does he continue to do this to himself?

Lindsey Graham: I'd date Palin, marry Fiorina for her money

In a PG-rated edition of “F—, Marry, Kill,” Sen. Lindsey Graham didn’t stray from party lines and left Hillary Clinton out in the cold.

During a pre-debate event in Boulder, Colorado on Tuesday night where the booze was flowing freely, Graham was given three options for “Date, Marry or Make Disappear Forever”: Sarah Palin, Carly Fiorina and Clinton.

Graham opted to go young on the dating scene with Palin, who is nine years his junior...

1. Can we call Lindsey Graham the obvious closet case that he is?

2. No. Forget the homosexual guessing.

He is a Repug and that is enough to discuss and find out he is terrible. I hate using 2nd grade tactics. Being gay is not negative so stop trying to make it that way.

[frizzled]

4. I'm gay. Calling someone gay or even a closet case isn't a negative in itself.

Calling an anti-gay Republican a closet case, however, means they're a hypocrite as well as an asshole.

You should see what they call Lindsey Graham on some gay discussion boards I frequent.

5. Good points. Thank you.

I'm gay too and quite frankly hope Lindsey isn't gay. He would be a horrible representative.

[frizzled]

6. Why would that be? If he's straight, does he represent all straight guys?

8. I'm gay, too, and I'm as out as can be. So I agree, it's not a pejorative in any way.

And I even sometimes joke with friends that I'm going to stock my casual wear with t-shirts emblazoned with revealing language, just so nobody is confused, lol.

And further, isn't talking publicly and loudly about how much you 'love women' something that you did when you were still closeted as a youngster?

[frizzled]

10. Oh dear god, yes. I did that to try to fit in about 14-15 years old.

Cringe.

[closeupready]

12. "Cringe." - YES. EXACTLY. That was the word I was looking for, thank you.

Graham's words here make me cringe, because it brings back to my mind those awful, dark years of my younger days that I would never EVER want to relive.

3. I mean, do heterosexual men talk like this? I mean, really?

In public, in front of a national media spotlight?

7. I don't know the breakdown by sexual preference, but

I don't know the breakdown by sexual preference, but for sure men who are doggone idiots talk like this in public.

So, gay or not, from his remarks we can safely deduce Graham is an idiot.

But we already knew that by his party affiliation, didn't we?

[closeupready]

9. Truth.

[emulatorloo]

15. ...

[libodem]

11. You mean he wouldn't marry

Carly for love? She's just so dang warm and fuzzy.

[world wide wally]

13. I do have to admit one thing about Graham..

This is the first time I have ever heard him talk about anything bedsides our urgent need to start a war.

[emulatorloo]

14. Dumb questions invite dumb answers, especially if the booze is flowing.

That being said, Graham's not much better sober.

[KamaAina]

16. "Make Disappear Forever" = Caribou Barbie, of course

Ewwwww! I'm stuck dating Carly! Well, at least after the one-night stand I get to settle down with Hillary.
