Ya gotta love it. ;-)

(No link - this was on CNN's Larry King just now. Catch the replay or a transcript.)

4. He was praising Graham and his conduct at the hearings.
But still, phraseology may reveal his true feelings. (OTOH, Googling "jag officer" yields about 3,790 hits - so it is a commonly used phrase and McCain may have meant nothing by it.)

3. Someone explain.
Who's Lindsey Graham, and what's a JAG officer?

8. Lindsey Graham-Senator (R) South Carolina
I get what a JAG officer does but I think someone else may do a better job of explaining it to you.

Judge advocate general. Nice to see Graham stopped lying about seeing action in desert storm.

10. I suspect the usage is nation-wide. It's certainly been heard in
Chicagoland. ;)
