Sen. Linsdey Graham, John McCain’s BFF, talking about health care reform on South Carolina radio inteview:
Nancy Pelosi, I think, has got them all liquored up on sake and you know, they’re making a suicide run here.
Rep. Mike Honda, a Democrat of Japanese-American descent, was not too pleased:
I am disheartened that Senator Graham chose to use racially tinged rhetoric to express his opposition to health care reform. There is a way to engage in healthy debate without alienating Asian Americans, who are an important part of this democracy and healthcare reform.
I guess Graham is trying to rebuild his racist-conservative street cred after being called out as “half-a-sissy” by Tea Party activists in October.
