I hope we follow Mr. Snowden to the ends of the earth to bring him to justice.

Sen. Lindsey Graham had some tough words — really tough, actually — for confessed NSA leaker Edward Snowden, vowing to track 29-year-old Edward Snowden “to the ends of the earth” in order to bring him to justice. Snowden is already being revered by many, with Michael Moore wasting no time yesterday declaring him “Hero of the Year” — and it’s only June.

Every “hero” needs a villain, and Graham seems perfectly happy to step into that role despite the inevitable backlash. But we’re back to the question we’re always asking with “Lindsey Grahamnesty”: You’re getting tough now? If you’re worried about national security, we have a big old border that could use some of that attention, not to mention a corrupt administration. Chris Loesch nails it perfectly.
Fixed- “@GrahamBlog: I hope we follow the NSA, IRS & this admin to the ends of the earth to bring them to justice.”

So glad that @GrahamBlog's first thought is intl manhunt for Snowden rather than referral of James Clapper for lying to Congress,

Would anybody like to defend Graham on this one? Bueller?
@GrahamBlog you might want to delete that.

@GrahamBlog you used to care about lying to Congress but have been silent on DNI Clapper’s blatantly false testimony. Why?

@GrahamBlog How about you quit giving our country away to every Tom, Dick & Illegal that comes across the border? Secure the border!

“@GrahamBlog: I hope we follow Mr. Snowden to the ends of the earth to bring him to justice.” Most vile and evil politician award goes to..

Non-Shocker of the Day: @GrahamBlog is out of touch and prefers secrecy to transparency and civil liberties. #markitdown #squishalert
