Actually, I think the color for the lifelong bachelor with a soft lilting voice would be lavender...

One of the nine Republicans who voted last Thursday to confirm Judge Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court was Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. (The final vote was 68-31, with only Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, unable to make the vote).
Mr. Graham had announced his vote in a Senate floor speech July 22 after, as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee during her confirmation hearings, he had sharply questioned then-Judge Sotomayor on her "wise Latina" speech and some of her more contentious decisions. It was a politically risky vote.
What made the vote more significant was his explanation of the vote in his speech, which appropriately deserves tribute in a column titled "Purple Nation."
I got to know then-Rep. Graham some 10-11 years ago under adverse circumstances. I was on TV virtually every night defending President Clinton from efforts by the House Republicans to impeach him; Mr. Graham was, by far, the most effective of all the House floor managers in arguing the case for impeachment, and frequently we would find ourselves in "Green Rooms" (holding rooms) at CNN or MSNBC before we went on-air to debate. And it was hard not to get friendly with him and make small talk -- he's that nice a guy in person.

ANY GOP SENATOR WHO HAS BEEN PRESENT WHILE THIS DISASTER TOOK PLACE SHOULD BE REMOVED IN THE PRIMARIES

If they had more Lindsey Grahams serving in the congress it would be even easier for them to turn our great country into a third world dictatorship. How can Lindsey Graham sleep at night knowing that he is undermining the courage and sacrifice of good patriotic Americans? He must have no conscience and no principles.

Is Lindsey Graham a homosexual being blackmailed by the Democrats? Does that explain why he does whatever the Democrats tell him to do and they praise him?
Someone could ask Laura Ingraham, I seem to recall she was seeing him when he first got elected to the House back in 95.
Total B.S. Graham was just re-elected in '08. Nobody is going to remember this vote in 5 1/2 yrs. when he runs again.
Wouldn't be a bad idea if he switched parties as he can always be counted on to betray his base in the big votes.
Hey, Lindsey! When you switch, please take your old buddy McCain with you.
