Politics: Where you attack a black woman to reassure people you are not gay

Lindsay Graham's vendetta against Susan Rice is about mending fences with the tea party so he doesn't get bounced in a primary challenge.

And he is always vulnerable to such challenges because his culture warrior credentials are weak, and it is assumed by many that he is gay.

So he needs to be super hateful and irresponsible in his foreign affairs specialty area to compensate, and doing so by attacking a black woman is a bonus.

Politics is so sick.
