Just Wonderin'

When I see Lindsey Graham giving on-air interviews, I wonder how his medical condition is dealt with - his having been born without a spine and all.

Does he slither into a chair of his own accord, or do the TV crew members lift him, prop him up, and then shove a metal rod up his ass to make him appear 'normal'?

I'm not trying to make fun of a physically disabled man. I'm just curious as to how interviewers and their staff accommodate those without a backbone in order to make them look as though they have one.

It's an honest question. Given the number of Republicans who are similarly afflicted, one wonders what technical advances have been made in order to hide this widespread GOP disability from unsuspecting viewers.

Flipping through channels last night I saw L'il Lindsey talking to Stephen Sackur on HARDtalk. Didn't stay and watch but it might be worth a look as Sackur is not afraid to ask uncomfortable questions and demand answers.

How much bribe money gets sent to offshore money laundries? For Repubics, power trumps (pun intended) everything.

Mostly held up by lots of hot air. It’s free and filling them up so fast unfortunately some escapes.

It's the only way to get any part of Lindsey to stiffen.
