CHARLESTON, S.C. – Republican leaders in a South Carolina county have censured their own U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for working with Democrats on a climate bill and other legislation.

The Republican has often worked with Democrats in Congress, but Charleston County Chairwoman Lin Bennett says his work on climate legislation is the last straw.

The party resolution passed Monday says Graham has weakened the Republican brand. Bennett expects a similar resolution to be introduced at the state GOP convention next year.

Hey, all you incredibly dumb and uninformed Americans, I’m Lindsey Graham. I’m a really, really, REALLY smart lawyer from South Carolina.

Because I am from South Carolina, some of you uninformed BIGOTS might call me a “cracker.”

Actually, that suits me just fine because that would make me a Graham Cracker. So if you don’t like my position (often bent over Algore’s or Harry Reid’s desk) on globull warming, immigration or those OTHER unimportant issues you can

BITE ME!

Another alien pod replacement. Apparently Linds fell asleep next to the wrong vegetable right after the Clinton impeachment (when he was still human), and hasn't been worth a damn ever since.

Yeah if they don’t stop running “tell Lindsay Graham thanks for wanting to bring clean energy jobs to south carolina” ads on the radio, I’m going to throw it out the window.

But then I’ll need a new radio. So instead I’ll just seriously consider throwing it out the window.

At least somewhere in the Republican party they still have a little lead in their pencils.

Well, good for them. It’s about time something is done with these representatives of ours who do things for themselves and not for the wishes of the people they represent. Most of these people have forgotten why they were elected and now, finally, they will be getting wake-up calls.

Graham spokesman Kevin Bishop says Graham is looking for a way forward on energy legislation.

He is unfazed and couldn't care less about censure, it seems. But I'm glad the SC GOP has done the right thing.

Gramensty, ya need to quit screwing around with the RATS. Yeah I know you're hoping for some conciliation on offshore drilling. They may promise that to you but it'll never happen. But, wait, I forgot, you enjoy being used as a tool.
