SocraticGadfly: RIP Huckleberry J Butchmeup aka Lindsey Graham

RIP Huckleberry J Butchmeup aka Lindsey Graham

The South Carolina Senator has died, reportedly after a brief and unexpected illness.

Note my addition of "reportedly." Do you really believe this? If so, I've got space at a straight-folks only nude beach in Charleston for sale. 

Speaking of, will Gay Trowdy, I mean Trey Gowdy, and Tim Scott be pallbearers? Named in the will?

And how fitting that Nancy Mace is interested in filling the seat. A walking big boob to be followed by a walking pair of big boobs, especially if there's a walking pair of boobs carrying the casket.

On the more serious side, Graham lied on behalf of Israel and Ukraine, and on behalf of himself, when he folded like a cheap suit to Trump after saying he wouldn't. That's doubly true, per AP's political obit story, after Jan. 6, 2021.

Meanwhile, the most laughable political obits will surely be the ones coming from Never Trumpers, like what Steve Schimdt penned. Know what, Steve? Had Havana Ted or Huck his own self gotten nominated in 2016, half of Trump 1.0's executive changes would still have been done, we would have gone largely down the same road on Israel as reality and even worse in Ukraine.

They're the hypocrites as much as Graham, as fellow "Three Amigos" per the AP story, John McCain and Joe Liberman, would be supporting Trump's war on Iran for the sake of Israel if alive today. Graham may not have been a personal piece of shit the way McCain was, per my takedown obit, but no, on geopolitics, he was not alone, other than the fold to Trump.  (I never did a takedown obit on Lieberman; today, digging up his carcass, stuffing it on an airplane and throwing it out over Gaza would be enough.)

That said, yes, dishonest, too. 

If he'd been more honest, maybe Dr. Jeebus H. Trump would have visited him just like McConnell

Meanwhile, for yesterday's conspiracy theory nutters on Shitter?

Yes, Russian President Vlad the Impaler Putin, learning from shooting Litvinenko with a Polonium-210 pellet, shot Lindsey Graham with digoxin. A more likely cause of heart-attack death would be Graham snorting too many lines of coke with Zelensky.

At least we know that some late-life fast-onset version of AIDS didn't kill him. Right? 

The reality is that he beat Mitch to the heart attack finish line
