This week with Senator Lindsey Tinyprint.

The "RINO' senator, as his foes at the Flat Earth Society have it, came out all over the Boeing deal this past week, even if the type was so tiny the angry, elderly, white seniors he relies on will be hard put to read it:

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement on the news Boeing will open a second production line in North Charleston.

"We are proud to be part of the Boeing team. We intend to be a good partner and greatly look forward to having an expanded Boeing footprint in South Carolina. Seattle remains the home of Boeing and we look forward to working closely with them in the years ahead. Today’s announcement is proof positive that South Carolina is a great place to do business.

"Boeing is a world-class company committed to excellence. They could have gone to any location in the country and been well-received. They chose South Carolina because of our pro-business environment.

"Bringing Boeing to South Carolina was truly a team effort. I want to thank Governor Sanford, Commerce Secretary Taylor, Senator Leatherman, Speaker Harrell, the congressional delegation, members of the state legislature, and members of the great Charleston team for their hard work. This was the best team effort in business recruitment I have seen in my 15 years of public service. We spoke with one voice and worked hand-in-hand to land this great company."

Apparently everyone's gonna try and paper over Boeing's liberal corporate citizen views, either hoping that somehow they will go away just as fast as the Vought plant's union membership did, or that making people thing all those jobs will appear on day one is what's gonna happen...we don't know. We're still wondering WTF? about the tiny print. Not very constituent friendly.

Mostly Graham's making his rounds on TV mostly. And for all the controversy he's causing being mavericky, we have to conclude that, as pissed off as the wingnuts are, if he hasn't been outed by now. he's straight. Fussy and asexual in a sort of Howard Sprague way, but there's just no way he could have a countersecret big enough to keep the 'mophobes at bay.
