Lindsey Graham has died

[selmaborntidefan]

Idk I listen to them every now and then, and i remember them making a big deal about not celebrating death but her turning on it with the IDF commander’s death. So I instantly thought that was what she was talking about, but no she was talking about LG’s unquestionable loyalty to AIPAC. Cenk even made a dumb joke about the death by saying Graham is meeting Hades and trying to get him to get Zeus to go to war with Poseidon or something.

This is where I am so glad that we don’t have the days of the old channel clicker, where I see whomever. I actually have to seek these folks out, and I’m never going to do that.

So much of the news shows have become opinion manufacturing, playing to “the base.” I honestly cannot remember the last time that I sat down and watched the evening news live on one of the three main channels of my childhood. I’m a creature of Brokaw/Jennings/Rather, and I am old enough to remember both Frank Reynolds and Walter Cronkite, as well as John Chancellor, David Brinkley, and even Max Robinson.

I know the world has changed, but nobody has that now. I miss the days of “the news in 30 minutes” on CNN Headline News, with Toria Tolley. Now l can grasp the bias in almost every printed story within two sentences.

You can tell by the inflection in the voice on a story now what the commentator’s views are.

Prelim is aortic delamination, so likely not a DVT. He'd been working on it for a while...

I assumed it might be a DVT because he was on a jet for several hours coming back from Europe I believe it was, but I was also unaware at that time that his father had died from a heart attack at 69, which is often a good predictor.

(This reminds me that my Mom, who turns 80 in November, assumed since her mom lived to 88, she’d live at least that long - until her sister died at 77 and so did her brother).

Well, if I didn't throw a DVT/PE after my ordeal in the sun over in SC, I'm having a serious talk with the Houston people about discontinuing Eliquis except when flying. The one I had was when a 3 hour plane trip turned into a 9 hour and I went to sleep with my ankles crossed (that's where it started)...

Frank Reynolds was my favorite. I remember watching him chastise the newsroom when he was given incorrect info about James Brady.

they are going to absolutely flog miss lindsey's corpse about the "save" act

“One of the best ways we can honor Lindsey Graham’s legacy would be to take this up and pass it this month,” Utah Sen. Mike Lee said Sunday on Fox News.

I wonder if he would have known he'd be out of here at 71 whether he would have sold out his beliefs to kiss trumps butt.

Having a clown instead of a Director?

I couldn't agree more. I grew up with Brokaw. My parents were NBC Nightly News and WVTM Channel 13 for local news. I still remember Pam Huff, I think that was her name. I used to watch Morning Joe and Billy O'Reilly. Now I want nothing to do with either. I'm not interested in Jessie Watters or Lawrence O'Donnell.

Dying the day after coming back from Ukraine, I was 1st suspicious of KGB assassination(poison, etc).

Then again, he probably would have fallen out a window unexpectedly if that were the case.

Pam Huff, Gene Lively, and Jerry Tracey. Great combo....Pam Huff worked until recently for 33/40. I think she has retired.

Pam Huff, Gene Lively, and Jerry Tracey. Great combo....Pam Huff is still working and does the early newscast for 33/40.

Herb Winches (he was at WBRC too)!

Washington — South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster is set to appoint the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's sister Darline Graham Nordone to finish his Senate term, which ends in January, sources familiar with the decision tell CBS News.

McMaster is holding a press conference at 4 p.m. to announce his appointment for the vacant seat left by Graham's death. The replacement will be able to serve until at least Jan. 3, when a new Congress convenes.

 

[Bodhisattva]

I laughed at this. How bad a person am I?

NPR is as close to "Straight News" as we'll get, now.

this is quite the obit

Lindsey knew better. He chose worse.

Lindsey Graham was a lonely and unprincipled man who betrayed his country for power and his decency for attention.

steveschmidt.substack.com

Lindsey Graham was a pathetic man, a true cynic and a faithless servant of the Constitution.

He was a simple man to understand and a tragic one. He lacked a moral core and any sense of right and wrong. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made.

Let there be no confusion about what Lindsey Graham was. There was no complexity to the man, nor much in the way to plumb and analyze about his journey to the bottom of the Trump sewer.

Lindsey Graham lived his life as a pilot fish, a parasitic sucker fish hovering about larger predators. He was a sidekick and the hollowest of hollow men.

I can hear Doc Holliday in Tombstone speaking this epitath...

I’m no fan of Trump but I love the fact his suggestion to the governor that he appoint Graham’s has sent the left into a tizzy.
