John McCain and Lindsey Graham proved not everything is terrible in Washington
The Washington Post ^ | 03/03/2017 | Chris Cillizza

A year or two ago, I got the idea of writing a post every weekend about only good news in politics across the country. I scrapped it after a month — not enough material. (I am not kidding.)

Since then, the political climate has only worsened and coarsened; the 2016 campaign was a low point and, unlike past presidencies, the first six weeks of Donald Trump's administration haven't exactly been a honeymoon. More people are interested in politics than ever before, but that interest is almost entirely directed at hating the other side, not rooting for their team.

Enter John McCain and Lindsey Graham. The two senators, who have been close friends and legislative partners for the better part of the past two decades (they met when Graham was a House manager for the impeachment of Bill Clinton), sat down for a conversation with CNN's Dana Bash on Wednesday night.

Just have to read the byline to know I don’t agree.

No wonder Clinton wasn’t convicted.

McCain & Graham’s tails are wagging after reading this “petting” by the mainstream media. They’re good now for another 6 months of treason against American citizens.

These two losers who suffer from extreme “bromance” need to get a room. Actually, a prison cell would be more appropriate.

The Democrats in R jerseys are more dangerous than the Democrats in D jerseys.

Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain and Rubio all need to be Cantorized just for their votes for the Gang of Amnesty.

Anything the Washington Post writes is fake news. All you have to know is that the Washington Post is owned by that flaming liberal maggot Jeff Bezos.

These are the GOP that voted not-guilty on both counts

Susan Collins
(R-Maine)
James M. Jeffords
(R-Vermont)
Olympia J. Snowe
(R-Maine)
Arlen Specter
(R-Pennsylvania)
John H. Chafee
(R-Rhode Island)

These GOP voted not-guilty on the just the perjury charge

Slade Gorton
(R-Washington)
Richard C. Shelby
(R-Alabama)
Ted Stevens
(R-Alaska)
Fred Thompson
(R-Tennessee)
John W. Warner

Wow, Trump can sure read people.

Remember when he made is comment about McCain being a POW? At the time, I thought that it was a little harsh. But, it is clear that McCain is not in sync with many issues. And he was the front runner for POTUS.

This why I have long suggested caution on elevating Trey Gowdy. Congressman Graham sounded just as good during Clinton years.

Judas McCain and Pontius Graham.

Can’t wait till their time is up.

Did they do the interview in the bed of a honeymoon suite at a Washington, DC hotel? Or was it at Comet Ping Pong?

It was at a pizza parlor.

Gee, I wonder if the comPost will endorse McCain/Graham over the DemonicRAT ticket in 2020.

HA! Sometimes I say the craziest things.

Both of them need to be primaried to hell and back, and $0 RNC money to back them. I’d rather have full-time Dems than a perennial backstabber. At least you know where you stand with them.

We are very clear about the tyranny of the ruling elite. These 2 self-serving egotists are as high on our list of enemies of the people as are the panoply of democrat shills. All of them are a travesty and a dishonor to our country. We absolutely are going to drain the swamp.

McCain has always groveled for media acclaim which he has received consistent with the exception only of the period when he was the GOP nominee for POTUS. Wasn’t so friendly then. Graham just echoes everything McCain says.
