I don’t know what to think about the news of Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sudden death over the past weekend.
I know that there were times when I agreed with him, and other times when I found his attitude or actions completely bewildering — not to say enraging.
I’ll let my Readers who knew him better help guide my thoughts. It’s a little sobering for me, however, to realize that Graham was my age, and now he’s gone: just like that.
And of course, the Left are exhibiting their usual behavior at his death, but that was to be expected.
More important, however, is who will replace him in the Senate.
Yah I dunno. Other than the nasty rumors he was a butt-pirate, he always seemed to be cheerleading every foreign entanglement we as a nation got sucked into.
His warmongering and fealty to Israel overshadows most of his other accomplishments, for sure.
That said, I heard on the radio today that his net worth was a million and change. The amount of the time in the senate, contributing to an IRA, that’s not a huge estate. So, on the good side, it appears that he wasn’t a grifter like most on the other side of the aisle.
So he has that going for him, which is nice.
The bare minimum of ethics, now stand out as an accomplishment to be touted. Along the lines of paying for a pack of gum rather than walking out of the store with it.
He was a blood-thirsty, “let’s you and him fight”, Israel First, homosexual with an irritating voice. Good riddance.
The whackies, by the way, are saying that he was unalived by a Russian strike on a drone factory in Ukraine and then hastily shipped home for a more convenient resolution of the story. Of course, we will never know about that either, in much the same way the above attributes will be smoothed into “Senate Statesman.”
As Big Daddy once said:
“What’s that smell in this room? Didn’t you notice it, Brick? Didn’t you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room? There ain’t nothin’ more powerful than the odor of mendacity. You can smell it. It smells like death.
