Lindsey Graham Longing For Slavery Update

Steve Gilliard writes that Sen. Graham was referring not to slavery, but to the destruction of Sherman's army in South Carolina. I'm inclined to believe Steve, with two caveats:

1) Graham could have specified what he was speaking about easily. The GOP has a long history of using ambiguous doublespeak ("state's rights", anyone?) to speak to the racists in their base - even if Graham was talking about a legitimate grievance, he was doing it in a way that obviously was communicating to them.

2) It doesn't mean Graham's not a pussy. One. Hundred. And Forty. Years. Ago. Get over it, ladies.
