"Ah, so, Mr. President. I see no lice. You may come in."

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who led an effort last week to prevent the Obama Administration from doing just what it did today in directing prosecution of the alleged Sept. 11 plotters into federal court, says he's keeping mum about that decision for now at the request of the White House.
"I have been asked by the White House to withhold comment about today’s Guantanamo decision until I can meet face-to-face with the President after he returns from Asia," Graham said in a statement released by his office. "As our Commander in Chief, I will honor his request. I look forward to discussing this issue further.”
Graham's silence on the issue today contrasts with the stance taken by many of his Republican colleagues, who wasted no time in blasting the administration. He also passed up the opportunity to dust off some of the pointed warnings he offered on the subject just eight days ago, when his amendment to ban civilian trials of the 9/11 plotters was voted down by the Senate on a 54-45 vote.

I would imagine Graham’s FBI file would rival that of Barney Fags. Rest stop bathroom stall photos and the like.
Resign you lisping, chap-lipped, low-life SCUMBAG!
Yup,an honors graduate of the Nina Burleigh Academy of President Subservience.
I thought he was just quiet because he had John McCain's pubes stuck in his teeth.
I’m thinking that Graham is going to get himself unelected!
Sure hope so.
Yep...see my post 43...(think I went too far?)
He is trying to prove to the uneducated Americans that he is important. What an ego this moron has. She, I mean, he should call the president and talk about the topic.
Graham has taken the job as Obama’s useful idiot.
WH is hoping the hoopla will die down before them or know something else will knock it off the front page.
The pink poodle speaks!
That was my second thought. Something wrong with a phone?
Well, isn’t he special.
Traitor.
A man that can’t make a decision on his own is not a man.
I couldn’t vote the Democrat or Graham so I left that line of the ballot empty.
If this was a serious respectful request, he would have met with you before going to Asia.
Idiot.
I wonder if he even exists inside his head. I want to knock on his skull and ask if he’s in there.
If he were a good politician he would be more adept at blunting the criticism he’s getting. Instead, he plows right ahead with the Onada sycophant shtick. Is he that brain dead or is he so totally in Onada’s pocket that he really doesn’t care what people are saying about him?
Does he know something that we don’t? I mean, he is setting himself up to voted out of office. Doesn’t seem the smart play unless he’s not worried about reelection any more—if you get my drift.
Take the pledge. I will never ever vote for another Rino.
I would reather have a solid opposition that stands a chance of derailing legislation then a majority that legislates the same a the Rats.
Disgusting toady. And I haven’t heard a word about Ft Worth, either.
When is this weasel up for re-election? It can’t come soon enough.
Graham, go away.
