Sen. Lindsey Graham May Try Out New Look To Fend Off Tea Party Challenger

Let’s face it: life is tough in RINO-land, and the growing backlash against political deadwood cannot be denied. The Blaze reports:

It’s official: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) will face a Tea Party challenger in 2014.
A spokesperson for Republican Nancy Mace, who is already being billed as a Tea Party favorite, confirmed to TheBlaze on Thursday that she plans to challenge Graham for his Senate seat in the 2014 Republican primary. She plans to make a “special announcement” about her run at the Berkeley County GOP Breakfast on Saturday.
The spokesperson said the campaign will be releasing more information and Mace will be doing interviews following the formal announcement.

Meanwhile, Sissypuss the Blog Kitty, disguised as a mole, and infiltrating Graham’s inner circle, discovers that androgyny is the new black among political fashion strategists:
Can an avant-garde makeover get Lindsey where he wants to go? On a non-Saturday night? Stay tuned.

Nancy Mace for Senate

Help free the country from metrosexual tyranny!

    The guy that runs the ” New Jovian Thunderbolt” calls them “metrocons”. As for androgyny, Bowie played that theme out long ago. For me anyway.

    DAMN YOU BASTARD for providing that link to the British poofters !!!

    “But the look that got eyebrows arching and tongues wagging was Anderson’s male halter top: backless, semi-sheer and floral patterned, the look was unavoidably effeminate.”

    Someone got PAID to design those clothes and put that show on.

    But I do hope that Goober does try the make over.

    Always thought ol’ Lindsey was a bit light in the loafers, IYKWIM.

    To make a clarification, there is another challenger to Miss Graham in the 2014 primary. Richard Cash has been in the race since June.

    You gotta admit, Mace’s resume is pretty impressive, and another poke in the eye at the Democrats’ #WarOnWomen BS.
    I’m sure Adjoran will be along any minute to let us know how Wrong and Ignorant we all are, though. 😉

    Inside sources tell me he’s going with the “Mature Bieber” look in the primary…then he’ll “pivot” to the full-blown Kagan/Napolitano in the general.

    Sen. Graham to combine “metrocon” style with celebration of his military service.

    I had thought that Prince and Blue Oyster Cult had played out the ‘use letters and numbers in place of words’ theme, but unfortunately it keeps hanging on like a bad cold that won’t go away.

    They still use leet. It’s just relegated to the anachronism bin. Like when we use pics of Betty Boop.
