CNN reports on South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham's all too candid remarks at a private club in Charleston this month, recorded without his knowledge:
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who is toying with the idea of a presidential bid, joked in a private gathering this month that "white men who are in male-only clubs are going to do great in my presidency," according to an audio recording of his comments provided to CNN…
In the recordings, Graham, who is favored in his race for re-election next Tuesday against Democrat Brad Hutto, appears to joke about the possible 2016 presidential bid he recently floated in an interview with the Weekly Standard.
"I'm trying to help you with your tax status," Graham says in the recording. "I'm sorry the government's so f—ed up. If I get to be president, white men in male-only clubs are going to do great in my presidency." [Pols emphasis] The crowd is then heard laughing.
We don't doubt it for a minute, but you're not supposed to say so. Not even in South Carolina.

Lindsey Graham is in a male only club that sadly makes it unlikely he will be president.
I wouldn't surprised if at the end of his talk, Graham closed with "The South Shall Rise Again!"
I think that is exactly what he is talking about
Oh my stars. I do believe I feel a bead of sweat forming on the nape of my neck.
Lindsey has bigger problems. Last spring, one of his underfunded primary opponents referred to him as “ambiguously gay.”. That would not be a problem in the party of Tammy Baldwin, Barney Frank, Jared Polis and Michael Michaud, but it won’t go over in the modern GOP.
That only shows that his opponent has absolutely no idea what "ambiguous" means.
Or he's a fan of the Ambiguously Gay Duo.
First thing I thought of.
Eh, he's just an effete southern boy.
Isn't Graham just saying what all GOPers say in such settings, more or less?
It's Morning Again in White America.
Cannot wait for the Daily show's take on this one…
One of these days, Republicans are going to realize that there ain't no such thing as a private event anymore. HINT: Cell phones have video recorders in them and everyone's got one anymore..
Dems are a little slow on that too, or at least Bruce Bailey (sp) was.
Don't you mean Bruce Braley?
It's already pretty clear to everyone hear that this assworm doesn't ever know what the fuck he means.
Actually, I figured if Mrs. Obama could call him Bruce Bailey so could I.
Michelle Obama repeatedly mispronounced U.S. Senate candidate Bruce Braley's name during herspeech Friday at the Drake University Fieldhouse.
She referred to the Iowa Democratic congressman as "Bruce Bailey" seven times before people in the crowd got her attention and pointed out the mistake.
"Braley. What did I say? " Michelle Obama asked the audience. Then she joked, "I am losing it. I am getting old. I have been traveling too much." But the crowd cheered when she correctly read to them the name of a Braley website that provides information about early voting.

Who fucking cares?
ROTFLMAO…!! SERIOUSLY?? You are bringing that up?
So…How is Mark Udall responsible for that and how will it spread Ebola?? Those are the important questions….
You really are losing it, Piss Ant.
