For those of you who don't live in the fine state of SC, count your blessings this evening.  'Senator' Lindsey Graham was just on playing counterpoint to Sen. John F(-ing) Kerry.  Anytime someone has his lunch eaten by Kerry, they really need to consider a new career - say as a Cashier at McDonald's (if you are a cashier at McDonald's, please don't send me hate-mail...). 

   On at least three occasions, 'Sen' Graham led me to my afore-mentioned conclusion.  First, he stated that earmark reform was absolutely necessary as it is wasteful and leads to the 'corruption' we see in politics.  In reply, Chris Wallace immediately asks him about the multitude of earmarks for which he has asked and received.  When 'Sen' Graham was supposed to respond, it seemed for a moment that someone had replaced him with a wax-sculpture with an exceedingly pale hue. 

   His remarks thereafter lead me to my second point: he eventually decided that 'good earmarks' are okay and 'bad ones' aren't.  No sh!t...  To make matters worse, this was exactly what Kerry suggested - in his almost-coherent, condescending fashion - from the jump.  What's more - this isn't Mccain's position.  Mccain wants no earmarks.

   As not to leave any doubt about his need for a new career, he then equivocated between Biden's and Palin's missteps.  This didn't need to happen.  He could have made a very good case that Biden's screw ups were a lot worse than Palin’s.  Consider that Palin has done a much better job at 'holding the line' in terms of Mccain policy.  Biden's out there telling people that Obama's ads are despicable, contradicting Obama on energy policy, and giving FDR credit for something that Hoover did.

   Yes, those of you who don't reside in SC, it's okay to point and laugh - for those of you in SC, it's okay to cry too...
