Mark Kirk, a United States senator from the state of Illinois, home of great American statesmen like Abraham Lincoln, on Thursday described his colleague Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a lifelong bachelor, as a "bro with no ho," according to remarks captured on a hot mic during a session of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Sam Stein of The Huffington Post caught the comment, which can be heard at the 0:26 mark:

(9,527 posts)Oddly enough as Republicans go he's not awful. He opposes indefinite detentions (at least for U.S. citizens) and supports cleaning up the environment, voted to repeal DADT and supports same sex marriage and ENDA.
Of course the bro with no ho remark is just utterly stupid and plays into the stereotype that Lindsey Graham is gay because he's not married and for good measure asserts that is what would be said in a primarily black section of Chicago.

Unfortunately Kirk failed and failed miserably in his attempt.
