Lindsey Graham Silent About Discredited '60 Minutes' Benghazi Report That He Hyped

[DonViejo]

TOM KLUDT – NOVEMBER 8, 2013, 2:49 PM EST

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) trumpeted the recent "60 Minutes" piece on last year's attack in Benghazi perhaps louder than any other Republican, but he's been mostly silent since CBS News retracted the report on Friday.

After TPM submitted multiple requests for comment, a spokesman for Graham finally responded with an email saying that the senator "will be a guest on CNN State of the Union discussing the latest on Benghazi and the Iranian nuclear program" this Sunday.

Graham has drawn heavy attention to the "60 Minutes" report since it first aired on Oct. 27.

He told CNN's Wolf Blitzer last week that the report filed by CBS News correspondent Lara Logan proved that "the story told by the administration about what happened in Benghazi doesn't have an ounce of truth in it."

"Never mind."

5. We can do without the lisping in your post. It's offensive to gay men.

I despise Graham as much as anyone. But I despise the use of lisping in your sentence "in hith closthet."

If you want to demean Graham as a repugnant and hypocritical person that's fine. But to use his possibly being gay and in the closet is offensive to me and many other gay people.

6. Is he still throwing his tantrum over the President's nominees?

8. He's remaining silent because the press is letting him remain silent.

They wouldn't want to embarrass him by making him appear wrong just because he was wrong.
