Lindsey Graham Too 'Tired' Sunday To Spin For McCain

[Via Crooks and Liars] How did things go for John McCain last week? Lindsey Graham, who usually flacks McCain with a psychopathic, operatic zeal, got to a point Sunday morning on Fox News where he just sort of ... gave up. When it came time to respond to public support of Senator Barack Obama after the debate at Ole Miss, Graham at first attempted to pull out some good news from the polling data. But he quickly folded under minimal pressure from Chris Wallace, confessing finally that he was "tired" and concluding, "Senator Obama did well. Senator Obama helped himself."

[WATCH.]

WALLACE: McCain's rating on being prepared to be president didn't change. Obama had a 16-point jump on that same question. Senator Graham, McCain keeps saying Obama is not ready to lead, but according to several polls, voters watching the debate thought he was.

GRAHAM: I think there's an 18-point difference between who is best able to do the job. We'll take that.

KERRY: Well, let me --

WALLACE: What you're saying is even though Obama got more of a bump --

GRAHAM: It's Sunday, I'm tired. Senator Obama did well. Senator Obama helped himself.

WALLACE: You can't be tired on Sunday morning, sir.

GRAHAM: Quite frankly, I thought he presented himself well, Senator Obama.

McCain has suspended his campaign once!

So did Romney prior to pulling out!

So did Hillary prior to pulling out!

So the NEXT LOGICAL STEP IS FOR McCain TO GET OUT!

It's Sunday, I'm tired. It's hard work carrying water for Beltway insiders, but now I have to do it in these danged snowshoes.

[castlerider]

Here's a great clip of the real McCain telling a report to f*ck off, with Lindsey making a funny face right after... It's priceless.

Right at about 00:11 if you listen close you can hear the percussive sound of one of his favorite 4 letter words.

[SENATORCALLENBOWE]

MAYBE HE SHOULD BORROW MCCAINS SENIOR VITAMINS FOR SOME EXTRA ENERGY :)

[LiarLiarIraqsOnFire]

It's gotta be the ENSURE.

Slingin' all that BS can get a man pretty tired!

[usakaput]

IT HASNT BEEN CONFIRMED YET BUT REPORTS SAY LINDSEY WILL BE SPENDING TIME WITH "SPECIAL" FRIEND JEFF GANNON.

[RobinLandseadel]

Well-known rat Lindsey Graham jumps ship, more to follow as the S.S. McCain is lost at sea..

[LiarLiarIraqsOnFire]

Men Of Honor Never Abandon Their Shipmates.

Man, it's like pulling teeth with this guy. Not a surprise.

[RedStateCenterLeft]

Poor, poor, pitiful, Lindsey:

It's Sunday, you're tired. Why don't you finally just come out of the closet, admit you're gay, and then you can be really honest to South Carolina and the country.

[wazzucoug]

Hopefully the voters of South Carolina will send this idiot (Graham) packing one day soon!

[HowietheScreamer]

Give the dude a break, it takes a lot of energy to lie 24/7, to say stuff you KNOW in your heart to be false and keep a straight face is enormously taxing for these guys. Look for more of this type of break down.
