I saw somewhere on DU today that Lindsay Graham is worth $20 million

[Dream Girl]

How the heck did get so much money? Wasn’t he a JAG attorney before entering politics?Did he win the lottery or something?

2. Well, it starts with an "R" and ends with an "A" and it's the reason he is kissing Trump's

fat orange ass.

5. "Republican Asshatt....A?"

Starts with an “R”, ends with an “A”.

Republican Asshatta

That’s all I got

[smirkymonkey]

8. Another hint...

It's a country. One that most republicans have very cozy relations with.

[A HERETIC I AM]

11. Well, I'm clearly too dumb to figure this out....

Because it seems to me you are saying he is on the take from Russia and I don’t think tha......


OH.


I see.


Carry on.

12. You catch on quick!

PS: Hey, I like your real name, does it have anything to do with this?

[A HERETIC I AM]

13. LOL....Of course it does!

One of the most sublimely hilarious comedy bits ever to come out of “Second City Television”.

John Candy was a comedy genius and left us way too early, and Eugene Levy continues to be as funny as he ever was in every single thing he participates in.

This is their appearance on David Lettermen In 1985 and it just kills me;

14. I love these guys!

"The Last Polka" is one of my personal cult collection films. I have a friend and she and I have been calling each other "Schmenge" ever since we saw this movie together. It cracks me up!

I miss John Candy too! He was one of the greats!

[A HERETIC I AM]

15. They were hilarious!

It is one of those bits that grew to have a life of its own, well past its origins.

The voice affectations, the silliness and dammit...the music! It all blended so well.

John Candy was just so funny, I think. “Uncle Buck”, “Spaceballs”, “Planes Trains and Automobiles”, “The Great Outdoors”, “Stripes”, etc. etc.
His contributions to movie comedy can not be underestimated.

His collaboration with Levy as “The Schmenge Brothers” just had legs, if you know what I mean, and they executed it superbly.

[smirkymonkey]

16. Agreed! I have to watch that movie again. It's not on Amazon, but you can find it on

You Tube streaming. I've seen all his movies, and most of Levy's and I love them all.

[A HERETIC I AM]

17. Have you seen "Schitts Creek"?

A series on Netflix, with Eugene Levy and fellow SCTV alum, Catherine O’Hara.

I’ve only gotten through the first few episodes of season one, but it is VERY funny.

Anyway....all the best,
And as much as possible, keep laughing in these difficult times.

[smirkymonkey]

18. No, but I will put it on my list. I love Catherine O'Hara as well and all the SCTV

players. Thanks for the suggestion! Nice meeting you and all the best!

3. That $20 million is on the low side of other senior senators

[CurtEastPoint]

4. They ALL benefit from insider information to fatten their purses.

[virgogal]

6. Most politicians end up rich.

[Midnight Writer]

7. Mitch McConnell got a $24 million "wedding gift" from a Chinese businessman.

Why the hell the Democrats can't make hay from these scandals astounds me.

[LastDemocratInSC]

9. When he first ran for congress way back when

He was a small town lawyer in Seneca, SC.

10. I'd rather talk about "assets" than "worth" 'cause Lil' Lindsey ain't worth shit!

note:To keep it real remember that it's Lindsey Graham and Lindsay Lohan. That's an easy mistake
to make, at least in text...

19. I have been contributing to Jamie

And hope he wins and wins big. There is an independent expenditure group that is going to hopefully pour 4 million into the race

All that said, I don’t think Grahams net worth is anyplace close to 20 million. He is always in the bottom half of senate wealth.

He is a bachelor, never had to worry about daycare, college tuition, kids expenses , family health insurance. He should probably be worth more than he is. keeping the call boys quiet must be expensive.
