Lindsey Graham is very worried about the gays getting into the military and just gaying up the whole damn place. No. Seriously.:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) suggested that repealing DADT is more disruptive to the U.S. military than going to war and, like other Republicans, suggested that servicemembers should have had more input into whether the policy is changed. “Don’t get me wrong,” said Graham. “We’re not asking for you to turn the war into a referendum — would you like to go to Afghanistan and fight? That’s never going to be asked of the service. You do what you’re told. But this is a change — a pretty significant change.”
Graham could have held himself up as an example of how well DADT works, but then that would have been kind of self-defeating, wouldn’t it?

“You do what you’re told.” Duh, that’s how it’s supposed to work in the military. Truman ordered the military to treat African American soldiers as equals and Obama ordered…oh, wait.
Well, I certainly hope Krusty bought Miss Lindsey dinner before “asking” her to do this (and other stuff, but hey…)
Four or five months ago didn’t Larry Flynt say he had information on a closeted gay Senator and that Flynt would out him if he didn’t do it himself in the next six months.
So will Lindsey be on the cover of the next Hustler?
That poster is faaabulous. Is that the long-awaited replacement for the ReamMaster5000 from O’Reilly Industries (God knows, mine needed replacing…)
And Lindsey is joined by Old Man McCain, revealing that he lied over and over about being willing to accept the judgment of the military’s leaders on DADT.
It’s generational, to a large extent. They both need to shut up now. I won’t even bother talking about our “fiercely urgent” Prez.
That picture is so effing funny!!
Actually, it was in October.
Woulda been nice if Larry’d done it, oh, around about October 15.
Lindsey’s life has always been a lie, making him a natural for the GOP.
The real reason Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, and John Boehner – rhymes with Gayner – oppose the repeal of DADT is that they think it applies to Congress.
Boehner is afraid it applies to tanning fluid exchange.
John Boehner – rhymes with Gayner — hmmmm, Gloria — yes, DISCO! — It’s Raining Men!
QED
Having Republicans enlist would be more disruptive to the U.S. military than going to war.
Or at least I think it would. None of them ever sign up.
Mark my words. The entire Armed Forces will become just a road show of “Cage au Folles”.
Of course, some people think it already has:

“We’ll allow ‘em if the Pentagon sez it’s OK. What!?!?! They Do!?!?! Well, we’ll only allow it if the Sec. Def. sez it’s OK. What!?!?! He does?!?!? Well, the Joint Cheifs have to say it’s OK. SHIT!!!! They say it’s OK too. Alright, how about if we put it to a vote among servicemembers? Goddamnit!!!! A MAJORITY say it’s OK!!! FUCK!!. Alright, one last time–if we find even one person who’s sort-of a military enthisiast who doesn’t like teh gay, then there’s no way we’ere ever gonna let ‘em in. HA!! See!”
Great tag.
Please, in the Holy and Blessed Name of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, let us have Teh Dogz, TBogg. This has been a hell of a week. Really. Please. Bassets.
Lindsey is just waiting to find that very special girl. He’ll be married before he is 60, for sure.
Remember Momma said you can’t hurry love…
Graham isn’t the only Senator in the closet. A certain Senator from Kentucky(Sadly, not Rand Paul) also fits the bill.
