Are trying so hard not to say Graham just sucked up to whoever was in power and could changes his "convictions" on a dime to appease them.

1. Yep

we will hear for the next week what a great guy he was and a fantastic Senator and blah blah blah
had to turn the shit off - they just can't tell the truth

[H2O Man]

2. First Mitch,

now Lindsey. It's enough to make an atheist wonder if the god of the Old Testicle is sending a message.

[Pinback]

6. "They always come in threes," I've heard many times.

Waiting.

[Maru Kitteh]

3. It's hard work Ed.

You gotta give ‘em that.

[RockRaven]

4. Somebody (I forget who) called him a remora.

That was back when McCain died, the implication being he'd need to find a new host/boss/etc. instead of striking out on his own. And he did, a very stinky orange one.

[Frasier Balzov]

5. Yes the sucker fish aka shark sucker.

[progressoid]

7. They're trying hard not to say a lot of things.

[MW67]

8. The Truth
