WASHINGTON — If Andrew Jackson created the notion of a president’s “Kitchen Cabinet,” Sen. John McCain is reinventing it months before his possible election to the White House.
And Sen. Lindsey Graham seems to be McCain’s one-man Kitchen Cabinet.
Graham’s visibility as the Arizona senator’s closest political confidant has risen in recent weeks as the two men crisscross the country and travel abroad on McCain’s presidential quest.

Well, now we know where Graham’s been hanging out.
Ick. Just—ick.
Another toe-tappin' RINO.
Lindsey Graham: What a total waste of a good senate seat from a conservative state! Let him move to Mexico with Juan Hernandez. South Carolina deserves two senators like Jim DeMint.
“Graham’s visibility as the Arizona senator’s closest political confidant has risen in recent weeks as the two men crisscross the country and travel abroad on McCain’s presidential quest.”
Please Juanito, I beg of you, pick this light-loafers pansy as VP. I just want to watch all the color drain from the virtual faces of your operatives on the internet....oh the deliciousness!
one-man”
Very generous use of the term “man”
This is precisely the problem that scares the bajeebers out of me when it comes to McCain as president. Nitwts like Graham can't wait to carry his water, even if they stand to loose a little of their own, they are so excited.
If this is the norm rather than the exception, heaven help us. And I hope it is warming up the cherubs in advance.
Lady Thatcher used to say, many times, that if you stand in the middle of the street, you can be hit by traffic going in both directions.
She never thought of consensus as way to govern.
Mr. Graham used to be a tiger when he was a House member, but ever since he gained a Senate seat, he’s turned into a squish. Something must have happened. Can he really enjoy being invited to all of those cocktail parties in DC? I’ve been to many of them, and they are way over rated.
I prefer GRAMM!
Round here we call him “Little Lindsey Grahamnesty McCain”
I may be wrong, but I think you’ll get your shot to see those faces as they realize the reality of John’s pick.
It ain’t going to be pretty. You’ll have to pitty them in a way, all that hope and so little realization.
Graham? Perhaps. Either way he’ll find someone who will be a good little leftist and sit quietly in the corner, when he isn’t out beating the bushes for votes for John’s breathtakingly lefitst agenda.
If former Senator Phil Graham is a part of a McCain Administration, he will be the economic downfall of this nation and will singlehandedly drive this nation into a severe depression, if not the world.
“Bipartisan relationships” is RINO-speak for “assume a wide stance for the Democrats”. Lindsay has spent more than enough time in that stall already.
I sure hope McCain isn’t thinking of nominating Lindsey for VP. Lindsey owes patriotic Americans an apology. He managed to go from a conservative hero in Clinton’s impeachment trial to a man calling those who opposed amnesty bigots. Such a horrid little man he became.
Why the white house and so many Republicans thought such a stupid political battle was necessary when they could’ve just taken a two tier approach built a wall, fortified security and then pushed reasonable ideas for streamlining citizenship as well as offering more restrictions on immigration by individuals who hold views hostile to the US and its traditions. Instead they chose the foolish road of demonizing those whose support they needed to accomplish anything. They attempted the exact same approach that failed for Hillary Clinton which just goes to show that politicians never learn.
” “If he gets to be president, I can be of great benefit to him in the Senate,” Graham said. “With his agenda, he’s going to need people to form bipartisan relationships and pass major legislation.”
Ugh...
John’s not going to have an agenda, b/c Obama is going to win.
There. I said it. Sadly, it is also true.
Former Senator Phil Gramm.
“At one time I had high hopes for Lindsey. “
What a difference 10 years makes, eh?
Can’t stand him either....it was Graham and Teddy Kennedy who tried to sneak the Amnesty bill through the Senate last summer....but for the heads-up given on Talk Radio, they’d have probably made it.
By the way....McCain still says he’s for amnesty “yesterday, today, and tomorrow”. And he’s the “conservative” candidate.
