Lindsey Graham is such a dick:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Friday that he won’t negotiate an energy bill between now and November because the politics of the oil spill does not “favor what [he] wants.”
Graham had been the Republican negotiator on an energy and climate bill with Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) but dropped his support when Democrats tried to rush immigration reform to the floor.
The South Carolina senator candidly said the ongoing Gulf oil spill precludes him from rejoining any such negotiation for months.
“I will work with the president, Democrats and Republicans to come up with an energy policy, but I’m not going to it in the middle of an oil spill when the political environment doesn’t favor what I want,” he told WVOC radio in South Carolina. “I’m not going to do it between now and November when the oil spill dominates the politics and headlines.”
First, Sen. Graham decided he wouldn’t support his own energy bill because the Democrats were going to tackle immigration reform, too. Now he refuses to support his own energy bill because it apparently does not contain “what he wants.”
