Unmarried Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham says that if he becomes president, he will have a “rotating first lady.”

“Well, I’ve got a sister. She could play that role if necessary,” the 59-year-old South Carolinian presidential hopeful told Daily Mail Online in an interview published Tuesday. “I’ve got a lot of friends. We’ll have a rotating first lady,” he added.

His sister, Darline Graham Nordone, resides in South Carolina with her husband and two daughters from previous marriages, suggesting that she would not be able to be in Washington all the time.

Historically, in the absence of a FLOTUS, daughters, sisters and other female relatives have filled the role.

Presented without comment.

1. Maybe he can dress McCain up in a gown for state dinners.

[KamaAina]

3. Cannot be unseen!

[madokie]

21. AAAARGH

Surely I can get rid of that visual without gouging my eyes out, surely LOL

Some of the damnedests things are right here to be read or seen on DU

[Oilwellian]

24. There's always Rudy for backup if needed

I think he'd be happy to be First Lady at this point in his career.

[alphafemale]

36. Perfect!

A first lady. A verb. 9-11.

[oldandhappy]

2. Hilarious!!

A rotating first lady --
* on a spit
* girl friends in and out on a monthly basis
* boy friends in and out on a monthly basis

Do not know his sister, but probably a good choice. She could fly up when needed. Good experience for her daughters.

RNC wives will probably be competing to fill in.

Sorry. My brain went nutz on the rotating thing.

38. My first thought was Linda Blair

in that scene in The Exorcist where he head rotates all the way around.

[JI7]

4. it almost seems like he is getting closer to coming out of the closet

I actually like this better than him getting a beard like Crist.

[KamaAina]

8. Crist has a beard?

[Journeyman]

5. Well, it's not like it's a Constitutionally-required position . . .

I'm certain various social secretaries and the like of whatever gender could fill the need.

There are plenty of valid reasons to oppose the Senator from South Carolina sitting in the Oval Office.

[Tripper11]

6. oh come on.....he can't be serious about his run for president can he?

I mean, fact of the matter, single is single, no obligation to have a first lady or man.

These guys really don't hear themselves talking do they??

[Jamastiene]

39. I was born and raised in the other Carolina.

Trust me. There is nothing guys like him love more than to hear themselves talking. They never STFU and the more they talk, the dumber the conversation gets.

[FSogol]

7. Glad Lindsey is thinking about the important issues facing our country....

[dawg]

9. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Well, nothing other than the fact that Lindsey Graham would be President.

If I were elected President, I'd be in need of a first lady solution as well.

[KamaAina]

10. As would I.

Hopefully, at that point, one would present itself. Power is, after all, the ultimate aphrodisiac.

[blm]

28. Hey, I love you already!!!!

[joeybee12]

11. Someone needs to point out that...

NO effing way would he be elected.

[Yavin4]

22. Whatever rotation he comes up with will be better than the Red Sox's pitchers! n/t

[joeybee12]

26. Bookmark this thread!

Beacuse I agree with you!

[Paladin]

12. "Rotating first lady."

Now there's a phrase that will follow Graham around for the rest of his life. And deservedly so.

[Sheepshank]

20. like the old fashion jewelry/music box

it's could be interesting...in a stupid sort of way

[Paladin]

35. "Interesting...in a stupid sort of way"

Yet another statement that ought to stick to Graham for the rest of his days.....

[hifiguy]

42. It DOES bounce off the brain at a strange angle,

doesn't it?

[liam_laddie]

13. Will he/she wear dresses or trousers?

Think he's talkin' 'bout a Carolinah BBQ spit.

[jberryhill]

14. Is there a required marital status for the office?

Attention single people on DU: YOU are not qualified, and it would be funny to everyone else if you had aspirations for public office.

Attention people with undisclosed gender identity on DU: YOU are not qualified, and it would be funny to everyone else if you had aspirations for public office.

Lindsay Graham is an obnoxious politician, with obnoxious stands on the issues. Is criticizing him on those grounds not enough, or do you need to attack aspects of his humanity shared by many others who do not have obnoxious political opinions?

[KamaAina]

15. I just find it humorous

the way he's tiptoeing around the obvious.

[daredtowork]

16. He's got ladies in binders! nt

[Iggo]

17. I got jokes.

And the soundtrack to one of 'em is "Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!"

[olddots]

18. Lindsey has the best comedy material on the clown bus

He is the best comedian the Republicans have given the world so far .

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

19. If the Senator was true to his nature...

he should just state that he would appoint a first corporation...on a rotating basis.

After all, corporations are people.

[MohRokTah]

23. Quite honestly, I sincerely doubt this will ever be an issue.

I simply do not see the GOP nominating Lindsey Graham.

[rurallib]

25. I understand Romney has "binders full of women"

perhaps Linsey could find a few rotating ladies in there

edit to add - we could feel fairly certain no harm will come to the rotating ladies.

[3catwoman3]

32. Maybe Ann Romney...

...would jump at the chance.

[blm]

27. Past beards? Like Laura Ingraham, who was having an affair with Asa Hutchison

who happened to be Lindsey's close friend, and the faux 'dating' was a convenience for both men. Hutchison could see Ingraham as often as possible while Lindsey had the cover of a heterosexual 'relationship' with Ingraham.

[Travis_0004]

29. I think Bill Clinton would make a better first lady.

[tanyev]

30. Wow. I thought that was going to be an article from the Onion.

[MADem]

31. My first thought--Sofia Vergara's mock of objectification at the Emmy awards.

https://m.

[CTyankee]

33. I didn't know he was unmarried...I thought he was married but...um...

[NightWatcher]

34. I tried doing the "rotating first lady" once before, and you've got to be careful

If her legs aren't far enough back, the dismount will hurt like hell

[PCIntern]

37. A former pro football player once told me

about a certain device at the pre-Pro Bowl party involving a rotating lady...

[Xipe Totec]

40. Is he constitutionally barred from serving in both roles? nt

[QC]

41. Lovely!
