Ex-Attorney Generals can make a great deal of money by associating with a large law firm.

Indeed. Although why anyone would give up a perfectly secure and powerful gig in the Senate to be Trump's punching bag for a while before being wraithed and dismissed is beyond my limited powers of reasoning.

To me, Graham's staged rage seemed to have a whiff of fear to it. I suspect either kompromat, fear of being primaried from the right, or perhaps he's angling for a wraithing as a member of Trump's administration.

I did not know that. I looked it up, and yes, he was part of that prurient, disgusting mess. Thank you.

Well you have to understand he'd gone thru a great trauma, somebody was being mean to him for the very first time in his life! And he'd been a very good boy, coming from the best people. I can imagine by the way, his attitude towards poor people. They don't even exist.

The difference in their presentation couldn't be more clear. She managed to keep it together pretty well, all things considered. He, OTOH, was a whiny-ass little titty baby throwing a tantrum. Sad! Weak!

Yes, he did. He thinks he's entitled to everybody's special consideration and love. And you know, I've been reading David Brock's book about the days when he was a Republican dirty trickster, and Brett-- forgot his last name!!-- was one of those people. He was a filthy liar himself during those years. And now he wants to be treated like a great statesmanlike figure. He's got no accurate sense of himself at all, which I suppose people like Rush Limbaugh do.
