Lindsey’s Finest Moment

He didn’t always lie: His worst moment was every one after that. I try not to say too much upon the death of people like Graham. Not that he deserves any special respect, it’s just that I always feel kind of creepy about dancing on anyone’s graves, even the bad ones. I will just say this: when it comes to hypocrisy, no one did it better than him. His ruthless condemnation of Bill Clinton’s immorality and dishonesty with respect to women, contrasted with Trump’s, is the best illustration but not the only one.
