Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) responded today to criticism over his recent remark that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has Democrats “all liquored up on sake” and “making a suicide run” with their plan to pass health care reform.
Graham’s explanation for those comments? “I’m just trying to let people know that what they’re doing is fanatical, it’s not rational.”
On Fox News today, Graham was asked to comment on the controversy.
“My comments really reflect the fanaticism of the Democratic leadership,” he said. “And I don’t know whether sake or moonshine, but no sober person would do this.”
Graham added that the Democrats need to “stop this process for all Americans, Japanese Americans included, do not need to lose their choice in health care.”
