The Charleston County GOP has censured Lindsey Graham for the unpardonable sin of … gasp! … bipartisanship. From the resolution:
“U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham in the name of bipartisanship continues to weaken the Republican brand and tarnish the ideals of freedom, rule of law, and fiscal conservatism…”
Weakening the GOP brand? Golly, who’da thunk it was possible?
The True Believers of the Holy City also complained that their senior senator “has shown a condescending attitude toward his constituents” with regard to their hyperventilating against his attempt at comprehensive immigration reform.
The Lowcountry GOPpers really don’t have to go to this much trouble to make me like Lindsey. I already thought he was a good guy, who would be welcome in the UnParty any time; they don’t have to go to this much trouble to reinforce it.

Now, which way will Sen. Graham go? Will he repent and return to the bosom of those yaho–I mean party faithful, or will he continue to attempt statesmanship? As irritated as I am by his stand on health care, I hope he continues to work for progress where he can.
Pretty good response – but think of another name for your UnParty will you?
Sounds like some sort of medicinal nostrum one has to take when nothing else is available, with questionable results and dubious side effects.
How about
I missed the censure of Sanford and Joe Wilson earlier this summer–how did they read?
You gotta give the GOP credit for hutzpah. Really now, “ideals of freedom, rule of law and fiscal responsibility”??? You’ve got to be kidding. This from the party who supports continued tyranny against pot smokers, pushed through the gastly USA-Patriot act and ran up huuuuuuge budget deficits in the pursuit of phony weapons of mass destruction.
