Lindsey Graham is hysterical and blubbering about ISIS

[Are_grits_groceries]

blowing up Charleston or whatever.
He needs to calm down.
If I was going to worry about somebody blowing up Charleston it would be Citadel cadets.

1. seems to me he is always hysterical and blubbering about something.

[Are_grits_groceries]

2. True.

However, I've never heard him quite this unhinged. He really sounds panicked.

[H2O Man]

4. He has been

far more obnoxious in recent weeks.

[Are_grits_groceries]

8. He really has.

I usually don't register what he says at all. He is on Highest Whine now and it's not a pleasant sound.

[H2O Man]

9. Right.

After posting my first response, I was thinking: this guy had already put the bar up there pretty high. But it will be impossible to top his nonsense about Isis coming to America to kill "millions," then "all of us."

That type of purposeful lie, intended only to scare the public, should disqualify him for any position of authority.

14. This is SC.

We have elected more clowns than the entire number who have performed in circuses since the beginning of time.

[strawberries]

3. where are you watching him

or what was he saying

[Are_grits_groceries]

7. Just the local news in general.

I live in SC so I see his performance art quite often on teevee.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

5. There's a lot of that going around...even here.

[jwirr]

6. LOL They would probably do it accidentally.

[Faux pas]

10. When in danger and in doubt

run in circles, scream and shout! So glad he is one of our 'fearless' leaders.

[freshwest]

34. 'When in danger and in doubt run in circles, scream and shout!' I like that...

[Faux pas]

40. LOL it was the family motto

when I was growing up. The joke motto that is.

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. Bill Maher called Graham

"the Blanche Dubois of the Senate"

[Are_grits_groceries]

13. Ha!

Don't diss Blanche though.
He's really a third-rate copy if that.

[livetohike]

16. LOL

[Arugula Latte]

24. I can just see Jon Stewart now: "Quick! Mah smellin' salts! I'm feelin' a bit wooooozy."

[2banon]

28. That was hilarious, I have to admit.

Not a big fan of Bill Maher and I don't have cable but someone posted that clip the other day, i just laughed my ass off.. truer words and all that. Maher was actually spot on with that one.

[world wide wally]

12. Is he a cartoon character posing as a human senator?

[steve2470]

15. Does SC have a ton of military contractors ?

I really don't know. I'm guessing they donate heavily to him from all over the country, also.

[Are_grits_groceries]

17. We still have several military bases.

I'm sure they give him oodles of money. He never met a war he didn't want fought or a weapon he didn't want built.

[2banon]

30. THAT was BRILLIANT!

[lovemydog]

33. 'I've seen chihuahuas in handbags who are less fretful and shaking.'

'We're all gonna die!' 'It's Armageddon!' 'The fear is real!'

Yeesh.

[alcibiades_mystery]

38. "My hearts thumping faster than a jackrabbit in a huckleberry bush" (!!!!)

Literally spit out my coffee on that one!

[wandy]

19. Lindsey Graham is hysterical and blubbering about military budget cuts.........

No doubt the South Carolina defense contractors are eating Graham alive over military budget cuts.
Graham needs ISIS you see. ISIS can help him to take care some of the people he represents.

Hay, nice profit if you can get it.

Seriously folk, you don't see Scott Walker going around blubbering about ISIS.
The people he represents care about other things.

Walker fears two 'darker rabbits' than ISIS.

20. Off topic, but . . .

I love that face plant into the red beanbag chair.

[Aerows]

21. I know

I laugh every time I see it

[fadedrose]

23. Me too

But how about the cat who almost caught the tail of a cat passing by, and the almost victim thought it was another cat, totally innocent, in back of him and and attacks him...

And the persistent kitty who shows no sign of tiring of trying unsuccessfully to jump to the top of the counter...somebody moved the damned chair he's thinking.....

And the daredevil who thinks diving into a pool is so cool....

How do you get anything done, Grits? Those cats are so entertaining...

[JEB]

22. Lindsey has been hysterical ever

since the foot tapping guy left town.

[dixiegrrrrl]

39. ZING!!!!!!!!

[Autumn]

25. Does he have days where he doesn't blubber hysterically ? I've never seen him where he isn't

doing that.

[gordianot]

26. Poor Lindsey he has a bad case of the vapors

[Jackpine Radical]

27. Get back to us when he's NOT hysterical about something. (nt)

[Are_grits_groceries]

32. The only reason I brought it up this time

is because he was a lot more hysterical than I've ever seen him. I have seen him upset a lot on teevee but it always has this measured undertone that politicians use when really pushing a point. It's controlled hysteria.

This time he really seems unhinged. He was on the verge of literally shrieking. I don't think he was using scare tactics while knowing full well what he is saying is over the top.

I know you have probably had incidents when someone you were familiar with says something with a certain tone that really catches your attention. When I taught school, if I used a particular voice on occassion, the students shut up and listened immediately.

[Jackpine Radical]

37. Now that you mention it, that brings up an interesting line of thought.

Ya gotta wonder how many demons, hobgoblins & bogeymen infest the average conservative brain. Satan, Commies, ISIS, the Black Panthers, gays trying to infect them with AIDS, disease-ridden immigrants, the Socialist Kenyan….Wow, it's a scary world in there.

[dixiegrrrrl]

41. I read that as him upping the volume, as it were, because

there has been no public panic over earlier fear efforts.
For which I thank Bush. He and his boss, Cheney, soured the public on war mongering so much that now we don't give credence to McCain and et al
when they shout BOO!!!!! over yet another attempted war hysteria move.

[Are_grits_groceries]

42. I'll grant you that.

However, I think Lindsey really believes ISIS will be in Charleston in the near future. Gawd help them because the 'grande dames' who rule over the city are not to be messed with. They'll cut off heads for not saying yes ma'am.

[dixiegrrrrl]

43. Given how many people have guns down here

up to and including AK-47s, I am not too worried.
Besides, in a pinch, we could always borrow the rocket launchers that DOD has been handing out to school districts.

[tanyev]

29. Maybe Lindsey needs some Lithia Water.

[procon]

31. The old fraud! He'd get more attention if he'd just swoon in full drag...

powdered wig, corset, hoop skirt, lace gloves and fan. Of course, the picture wouldn't be complete unless unless Lindsey was supported by a troop of luscious, shirtless hunks in skintight doeskin breeches offering smelling salts, and tempting him with Mint Juleps or spooning syllabubs down his gullet.

[B Calm]

35. Was John McCain holding his hand to comfort him?

[scarletwoman]

36. Well, can you blame him? All those dark, hairy men with their big black beards, and big knives,

and big bandoliers and bigger guns, coming to kidnap poor Lindsey and perform unspeakable acts of drepravity...
