Lindsey being in JAG is only surpassed by learning John Kerry served in Vietnam. I tend to actually like Graham but he sometimes does seem to let his current job go to his head.
Graham was the first person I ever heard use the terminology of "at the end of the day." After he said that during the Clinton impeachment I caught a bunch of others saying the same thing.

My Torts professor often said "at the end of the day" back in the early 80's. Regretfully, the phrase has made a resurgence. Lindsay wasn't in my class, but there were many guys who were who now remind me of him.

About "at the end of the day..."
George Will just used the phrase during the panel segment on ABC.
The phrase has been around forever, but it's reserved for "intellectual discussions and scholarly debates." In order to sound like that's what they're doing the drive by media and the Senate House are filled with people who use phrases like this.
My theory is that because of this negative association with the pompous and effete it has fallen out of favor among us commoners.
