Subscribe to RSSLindsey Graham now says he’ll put a hold on John Brennan’s nomination to the CIA for more answers on Benghazi, per USA Today.
Menendez watch: His approval rating is now just 36/41%, according to Quinnipiac. That’s a net drop of 23 points in less than a month. (His approval last month was 51/33%.)
“Former US Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. entered a guilty plea Wednesday in federal court to criminal charges that he engaged in an alleged scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items,” AP writes. “Before entering the plea, Jackson told US District Judge Robert L. Wilkins, ‘I've never been more clear in my life’ in his decision to plead guilty. Later, when Wilkins asked if Jackson committed the acts outlined in court papers, the former congressman replied, ‘I did these things.’”
Mark your calendars… Jackson is set to be sentenced June 28.
Speaking of scandal… “Former Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) told the Albuquerque Journal that he has a son born in secrecy 30 years ago,” Political Wire writes. Said Domenici: ‘More than 30 years ago, I fathered a child outside my marriage. I deeply regret this and am very sorry for my behavior. I hope New Mexicans will view that my accomplishments for my beloved state outweigh my personal transgression.’”
And this… Reuters: “Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, who chided federal officials for their slow response after Hurricane Katrina inundated the city, pleaded not guilty in federal court on Wednesday to charges that he took kickbacks in exchange for city contracts.”
Ex-Sen. Jim DeMint defends Ted Cruz (R-TX): “Cruz has become a lightning rod, and all because he’s daring to do what he promised during his campaign for the Senate. That simple act of integrity has set him apart from the pack. Most politicians know what to say to get elected but then arrive in Washington with no real spine — or in many cases, no intention of ever doing what they promised. Not Cruz. He’s proved himself an effective advocate for the founding principles that made our nation great: personal freedom and responsibility, local control and adherence to the law as it is written, not the way some politicians wish it was written.”

What about it?
More gop-manufactured krapola.
DeMint thinks that making unfounded accusations against Hagel is a sign of Cruz's integrity? That folks is the problem with the Republicans in a nutshell. Apparently they have no clue of the meaning of words in the English language. Like the sycophants screaming "socialist" without a clue as to what it means or Rubio stating that the President hates the free markets without any explanation of how he comes to that idiotic conclusion.
Lindsey Graham is a perfect example of a wild animal being cornered. He's just lashing out wildly at anyone to try to escape being primaried. If you've never seen someone scared to death, look in the eye's of Graham. The sad thing is he's so dumb he doesn't realize his ranting is just making things worse for him.

Polly wanna cracker!
Foregone conclusion Graham is bound and determine to derail Hagen regardless of disproven rumors. Graham accepting spurious rumors as gospel is beyond comprehension. The latest--Hagel accepting funding from some non-existent terrorist group or "adjunct" to Israel, and demanding Hagel give an explanation---what, huh? Wonder what Hagel had done to Lindsey to warrant the smear? We know that McCain carries grudges over some perceived slight and takes everything personally, can deal with that, but Graham's motivation?
Now lets undermine the President because, what Benghazi, again--what is that Graham et al really want, minute to minute time line of the President's activities while the consulate was under attack? Amazing arrogance.
What about Missy Kelly--lock-step elephant regurgitating the same Graham talking points, does she not have an independent thought or know the difference between unsubstantiated rumors and facts? Believe her days are number come re-election time, believe NH voters smarter than she gives them credit for.
Get on with the nations business and get off the side show and manufactured bs.
The more those people spurt their malarky the worse they look. Keep up the good work Lindsay and we are sure to see Democrats controlling both Houses of Congress as well as the White House for decades. People are getting tired of all that crapola.
