Bachelor Graham hints at 'rotating first lady'
The Hill ^ | 6/9/15 | Jesse Byrnes

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a lifelong bachelor and long-shot presidential candidate, disclosed in an interview published Tuesday how he might go about the issue of first lady if elected.

"Well, I've got a sister. She could play that role if necessary,” Graham, 59, told the Daily Mail during an interview at a recent campaign event.

"I've got a lot of friends. We'll have a rotating first lady," Graham added, chuckling.

Just two U.S. presidents, James Buchanan and Grover Cleveland, were unmarried when they assumed the Oval Office, though Cleveland married later.

Graham's sister, Darline Graham Nordone, lives in their native South Carolina and is married with two daughters, according to the Daily Mail.

But Nordone has said she would take on a public role in her brother’s 2016 campaign.

She praised Graham in a recent interview with The New York Times, which reported the pair's mother died of Hodgkin's lymphoma when Graham was 20 and his sister 11. Their father died 15 months later of a heart attack.

“Lindsey was always my parent,” Nordone told the Times. “There was no doubt in my mind or anyone else’s mind that Lindsey was my guardian.”

Graham joined the crowded GOP field early this month, running almost exclusively on a muscular foreign policy focused on defeating Islamic militants in the Middle East.

Reminds me of that Drudge headline from Nader the other day, something like Hillary was militaristic to overcompensate for being a woman. What's Lindsay Graham overcompensating for?

That might be one way John McCain could get into the White House...

That's pretty funny right there!

On a different note, didn't Laura Ingraham date Lindsey during the impeachment hearings? Could she possibly become a "rotating first lady?" Inquiring minds want to know...

Nah. It's just an easy question for reporters to ask and for him to answer.

Sweet Lindsey does not say if his “First Lady” will be male or female.

I’m guessing he would prefer a male First Lady.

Oh, I just know Miss Lindsey has some female shopping buddies he could draft for First Lady duty. All queers have them.

OMG! Really? I would think Laura had better taste.

She probably broke it off when he offered to sew her some curtains or something.

Maybe Caitlyn “Bruce” Jenner could take a turn in the rotation.

A rotating first lady?

Oh I see. One day Miss Lindsey will be POTUS and the next day he will be FLOTUS. Is that what he means by rotating first lady?
