ANP: Senator Lindsey Graham was a passionate critic of the Bush Justice attorneys during this past summer’s Armed Services Committee hearings on interrogation.
Lately, however, Graham seems to have had second thoughts on the matter. At a recent Judiciary subcommittee hearing investigating the torture memos, Graham mounted a feisty defense of Jay Bybee, John Yoo and the lawyers who provided legal cover for detainee abuse.
This performance sent ANP producer Mike Fritz back to the ANP archives to confirm that this was indeed the same Lindsey Graham we remembered from the summer, and sure enough, it was. As this video reveals, same tie – different message.

Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
Whats all these crazy questions they’re askin me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don’t turn on the lights cause I don’t wanna see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain’t the way to have fun, son
and all their elitist recordin’ devices!
Usin’ somebody’s own words against ’em is dirty pool in my book. Which everyone should buy a copy of as soon as it comes out.
But at least his ears will be warm.
