I will like to introduce the posting by talking about Sen Graham, who has been stuck with Chuck Hagel and Benghazi like it was the invasion of Iraq of which he kept his mouth shut. He is on Neutral and can’t find the D.  Having said that the hypocrisy of this senator goes beyond one will expect from a member of the Congress be the house or the senate where he has warm up his chair by many moons one would be under estimating his.

 I don’t like Hagel, I think he is a homophobe be plain and simple. But it wont be the first one I don’t like- and the President who has been actively supporting gays and their families, be soldiers or your average Joe, he Nominated Chuckie and he is entitled to one free pass. As far as Im concern Chuckie is it.

  So Having Queen Graham raising a lot hell and dragging his pumps and wasting time is not ok. We can always put on the music and drown him out.  But we are still in afganistan and there are fires everywhere in the middle east. Since Chuckie is assured to get the job, for the sake of the country he should stop grandstanding and shut up already. But now he is been tossing the ball between Chuckie Hagel and Bengahazi. His constituents don’t even know how to pronounce it and certainly don't know where it is. So enough is enough.  All he is doing at this point is hurting the Defense Dept. Take a pill and and go sit on a park. and pick up something.                  Adam Gonzalez

For those who can't watch clips online, Graham appeared on Fox News this week and was asked about whether he'd consider voting for Chuck Hagel's Defense Secretary nomination. The senator said it would depend on the upcoming confirmation hearing, before adding:

"But the one thing I'm not going to do is vote on a new secretary of defense until the old secretary of defense, Leon Panetta, who I like very much, testifies about what happened in Benghazi.

"I haven't forgotten about Benghazi. Hillary Clinton got away with murder, in my view."

Now, I realize "get away with murder" is a common figure of speech, not a literal accusation of homicide. I'm going to hope that the Republican meant that the outgoing Secretary of State "got away with" doing something wrong, not actually killing someone.

That said, when we're dealing with a crisis in which four Americans were actually murdered, perhaps the senator could have chosen his words more carefully.

But even if we give Graham the benefit of the doubt on this, his position is still increasingly unhinged.

Towards the end of the clip, the South Carolinian vowed to block Hagel's nomination until Leon Panetta testifies on Benghazi. What does the outgoing Pentagon chief have to do with this? Graham didn't say. What questions does Graham have that haven't already been answered? He didn't say.

Why would he block a confirmation vote on the Secretary of Defense during a war? Graham didn't say.

It appears the senator wants to keep talking about this for the sake of talking about this. Maybe Graham thinks this will help back home if he faces a primary challenge; maybe he thinks it'll shave a point off the president's approval rating.

Whatever his motivations, Graham's tirades aren't doing his credibility any favors
