LOL!!! Sen. Lindsey Graham: "We really did go too far. We screwed up. BUT..."

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he was "proud" of Boehner's handling of the crisis. Then within moments he pleaded with Democrats to bail out the GOP, which he admitted has "screwed up" and "really did go too far" in the shutdown and debt limit standoffs.

"We won't be the last political party to overplay our hand," he said. "It might happen one day on the Democratic side. And if it did, would Republicans, for the good of the country, kinda give a little? We really did go too far. We screwed up. But their response is making things worse, not better."

Reminds me of the woman who slept with my guy, then accused me of reacting in a way that would make her look bad.

Hes a freaking US Senator, he's not playing Blanche Dubois from Streetcar named Desire and he is not dependent on the kindness of strangers.

He needs to fight for a clean bill if he believes the GOP has overplayed its hand.

Stand firm, and we lose our credit rating. Give in, and we lose the rule of law. Fuck you and your self-respect, Mr. Graham.
