My father, who is a somewhat well-known civil rights lawyer, happened to be in Washington, D.C., yesterday and attended the Elena Kagan confirmation hearings. During a break he ran into the hideous Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and said, “If it’s any consolation, Senator, my friends and I all think she’s too conservative.”
He says that Senator Graham “chuckled ruefully.”
I feel like Lindsey Graham does most things ruefully.
I wish Lindsay Graham did most things ruefully. It would show he at least had some sort of conscience.
