This item made me chuckle, although I am somewhat ashamed of myself for it.<\/p>\n

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has just announced he’s running for the Republican Party presidential nomination in 2016. He’s single. Never been married.<\/p>\n

One of his Senate colleagues, fellow Republican Mark Kirk of Illinois, joked upon hearing that Graham said\u00a0he would have a “rotating first lady” if he’s elected president, that his colleague is “A bro with no ho.”<\/p>\n

Kirk’s crack came during a Senate Appropriations Committee legislative markup session. He made the crack into an open microphone, which means it wasn’t meant to enter the, um, public domain.<\/em><\/p>\n

But … it did.<\/p>\n

Now it’s out there.<\/p>\n

Honest to goodness, I actually think Kirk’s comment is funny.<\/p>\n

My hunch also is that Graham has enough of a sense of humor to think so, too.<\/p>\n

Still, the twinge of political correctness that continues to cling to my conscience makes me slightly\u00a0embarrassed for admitting that Kirk’s quip made me chuckle.<\/p>\n

Aw, what the heck. It’s funny. I’ll leave it at that.<\/p>\n
