Toast Graham!

Lindsey took time out of his busy campaign schedule (McCain’s, not the campaign to keep his own job here in SC) to speak about Ted Stevens’ legal issues:

“Being charged with a crime is a big deal,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). “He needs to be able to have his day in court like everyone else.”

Asked if Stevens should resign, Graham said, “if you have a dark cloud over you, I just don’t feel comfortable telling someone what to do. (But) I don’t subscribe to the notion that you have to give up your career.”

Most of the folks in Congress continue to shake hands and slap Stevens on the back, their only concern being how it will affect their positions on important committees. Is there no one willing to actually call out the folks in our party who continue to screw over the America taxpayer, even when they get caught with their pants down?

Looks like Sen Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), whom allegations of corruption have swirled around for years, is under indictment by the Justice Department. It’s just a shame that the GOP leadership didn’t force this crook out long ago. Perhaps we’ll see a decrease in pork spending if the “Bridge to Nowhere” backer is in prison. One more example of our party leaders being more concerned with power than principles.

It ain’t Rasmussen, but fun nonetheless.  John Hawkins at Right Wing  News conducted a poll of right of center bloggers to name their least favorite Republican office holder.  And the winner is… a tie between Chuck Hagel and Arlen Specter.  I think I can pretty much agree with these results.

Our boy Lindsey ranks in at #7 and was tied with…. Larry Craig.
