A Few Reads for Tuesday

 Lindsey Graham's sister, Darlene Graham Nordone, was appointed to serve out the remainder of her late brother's term.

Snip:

The Graham children grew up in a one-room house behind the Sanitary Café, a combination bar, pool hall and liquor store their parents operated in Central, South Carolina. Nearly a decade apart in age, the siblings forged a tight bond from the start. It was Lindsey who first taught her to spell her name, incorrectly as it turned out. Although her birth certificate reads “Darlene”, she continued to spell it with an I. He also taught her to ride a bike, running alongside her and shouting: “Keep pedaling!” After their parents died, Graham returned to college but spent the weekends visiting his sister, she recalled in interviews.

I am obviously no fan of Trump, but this woman has no business diagnosing him since she isn't qualified to do so and has never examined him personally.  Those books were piled up in an awkward position given where his chair was, so of course he grabbed the book in an awkward way.

He embarrassed himself by not reading the book at all but going through a stream-of-consciousness adlib with Usha Vance.
