CNN is reporting that South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham said that very thing in a private gathering earlier this month. (Okay, CNN didn't say Graham said that; they said "he joked". Because, you know, belying one's fully-documented and deeply-rooted biases and prejudices while pandering to a room full of one's peers is always so gosh-darned, knee-slapping, side-splitting, gut-busting hilarious.)
The CNN article says that Graham was taped without his permission cutting jokes at his own expense sounding like a complete asshole while speaking at a gathering of the all-male Irish-Catholic Hibernian Society, which makes sense, because even a proven neo-clown like Graham wouldn't be so dense as to say such a thing in public where it could be witnessed by actual journalists with pencils and notepads and microphones and cameras and stuff.
No, of course he wouldn't.
Please read on for his, er, "defense"...
For what it's worth, here's the entire text of the quote as reflected in the CNN article:
"I'm trying to help you with your tax status. I'm sorry the government's so f---ed up. If I get to be president, white men in male-only clubs are going to do great in my presidency."
Har-har-har. Hyuk-hyuk-hyuk. Guffaw, guffaw, guffaw...
Now, in his defense, Sen. Graham says that his surreptitiously-recorded remarks were all in the spirit of good, clean fun. But of course they were! After all, who could possibly not see the profound humor inherent in one misogynistic, uber-privileged, white-skinned, penis-toting conservative promising that when he moves into the White House in a little over two years, he'll see to it that other misogynistic, uber-privileged, white-skinned, penis-toting conservatives gain even more privilege? I mean, c'mon! What are you, a bunch of stiffs?! Laugh already, dammit! LAUGH!!!
Ahem.
Of course, all of this might have been to help combat a problem Sen. Graham saw with his own party when in 2012 he "joked" of the GOP:
"We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term"
Oh, my! Another jocular and charming kneeslapper! Forget the presidency; Graham should from for Comedian-In-Chief!
Anyway, I'm sure Fox would/will be quick to tell you that both JFK and Sen. Biden spoke to the Hibernian Society. I'm not sure what those two men said, but given that I didn't see their remarks on the first page of Google along with the fact that I am too lazy to keep digging, it's doubtless that whatever they said was anywhere near as entertaining, playful, or whimsical as Graham's promised to prolong white privilege...
Please do run in 2016, Lindsey. How about you at the top of the ticket, along with Sarah "Drunk Family Brawl" Palin? That would be, like, the most awesomest awesome thing in the history of awesome. Ever...
