An interesting slip of the tongue...

This reader couldn't help but not an interesting slip of the tongue from Lindsay Graham, one of the few Republican politicians from South Carolina not caught up in a political or sexual scandal.

While trying to run interference for South Carolina representative Joe Wilson, who may be facing punitive action in Congress for his startling breach of Congressional decorum in yelling "You lie!" at the President of the United States as he addressed Congress and the American people, Graham let slip this interesting locution, as quoted by the Associated Press:

"Joe's a good man. He made a mistake," Graham said. "Don't give up on fighting health care. But what he said was inappropriate. This needs to come to the end for the good of Joe, South Carolina and the country. I'll leave it up to his good counsel as to what to do next."

Don't give up fighting health care.

Making sure Americans are faced with an ever increasing health care burden and ever higher insurance and health care costs has apparently become job number one for the rump Republicans remaining in office as they gin up a blizzard of lies, misdirection, and distortion in order to prevent health care reform.
