It is rich that a bunch of men who will likely never need to address the first lady at all, are so concerned about what to call her. I mean, I don’t see any of these men getting invitations to the first lady’s holiday parties, do you?
If this were a superhero movie or comic book, I’d enjoy watching Lindsey Graham use his shameless hypocrisy to inspire chaos. Before the final frame or the last page, however, I’d expect him to be soundly defeated. Villains like Graham don’t last long in an ethical world.
