Republican Senator on Hot Mic: Lindsey Graham Is 'Bro With No Ho.'

Source: Gawker/Huffington Post

Busting the spectre of communism is hard enough without your boys ragging you for still being single. But still, alleged presidential candidate and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) must endure moments like the one today when a colleague’s quip about Graham’s luck with the “hoes” got picked up on a nearby mic.

“I’ve been joking with Lindsey,” Kirk can be heard saying. “Did you see that? He’s going to have a rotating first lady. He’s a bro with no ho.”

Graham’s bachelorhood has been much-discussed since the launch of his presidential campaign. The senator is single with no children, which has raised questions about whether voters might find him unrelatable. Graham has laughed it off and even joked recently that he’ll have more than one first lady once he gets to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

“I feel real comfortable with who I am and the life I’ve lived,” Graham recently told The Huffington Post. “The last time I checked, I didn’t see a sign on the White House that said ‘single people need not apply.’”

But was is this fascination people have with older people who have never been married?
Why is the assumption they're gay or lesbian
If the Kirk referenced is Sen Mark Kirk, his sexist and asinine comment is just another reason I won't be voting for him next year.

By the time the GOP primary season is over, they will have all attacked each other into the ground.

Tammy Duckworth should run against Kirk in Illinois. It should not be that tough to return that Senate seat to our side again. Duckworth could do it.

These comments, Kirk's health problems, his sudden turn into a "moderate," his early assessment of how to make himself a palatable candidate, can all be used against him. The man is a disaster.
