Lindsey Graham — When Ego Gets in the Way Of History
Oh, Lindsey, Lindsey, what in the name of all that’s holy are you talking about? On four occasions, [South Carolina Senator Lindsey] Graham met with Tea Party groups.

Joe Lieberman stepped off the “Straight Talk Express” bus, which rolled right into the arena as the concert-quality sound system blasted out the Rocky theme. Sen. Arlen Specter had warmed up the crowd with an appearance that hadn’t been announced in pre-event publicity. “It may very [...]
