But… GOD.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Wednesday that he remains “deeply troubled” by Sonia Sotomayor’s ideology and record after a 30-minute closed-door meeting with the judge.

Politco reported on Graham’s press conference following the meeting:

“My criticism about her comment and the speech that she gave wasn’t that I think this lady is a racist,” Graham said, later continuing: “There is no evidence of that, but this statement is troubling and I did tell her this, ‘If I said it, it would be over for me. No matter how well-intentioned I was and no matter how much I tried to put it in context, that would be it.’ And you all know that.”

He added, “being an average, every-day white guy … that does not exactly make me feel good hearing a sitting judge say that.”

“… She needs to explain herself and she needs to understand she offended some people,” Graham said.”

You are stupid.

You make everyone in South Carolina seem stupid because you are their senator.

An “everyday white guy?”  What are you doing?  Selling Coors Light?  Who thinks like that in 2009 other than a pandering idiot who believes his constituents will fall for that?

Will you, South Carolina?  Come on… you voted for a guy named “Lindsey,” you’ve got to be more progressive than that.

I know it’s scary.   I mean, good lord, Obama is talking to arab nations and latinas are being nominated for jobs THEY DESERVE and there’s poor Lindsey, rubbing his old white hands wondering why he can’t just sip a mint julep on his porch and make everything like it was in 1950 when it wasn’t so hard to get a seat at the front of the bus.

Please, the south, I beg of you… purge your morons.  Join us in 2009.  It’s nice here.  We have high speed internet and everything.
