Professional Outer of right-wing nut-jobs politicians, Mike Rogers, has an early Christmas gift for us today, and judging by his tweets, it’s the outing of South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.

For those of you that don’t know Lindsey Graham, he’s been hounded by gay rumors since his first run for Congress in the ’90s. He has never been married, which, to some, proves everything. The rumors still come up regularly, like when another South Carolina politician let it slip in a 2009 interview. And the New York Times Magazine asked him about it in a big profile earlier this year, to which Graham responded, “I ain’t gay.”

Here’s what Mike tweeted on the 18th, but went mostly unnoticed until today:

I wonder if Lindsey Graham knows I have pictures of a man who spent the night at his house. pls RT

Just reached lawyer at home. Meeting set for Tues. on releasing pix of man who spent night at Lindsey Graham’s.

Who cares? Right? Wrong. Graham has consistently scored a nice fat 0% on gay rights by the Human Rights Campaign and, just the other day, voted “no” on DADT repeal.

While the tweets could be a little more specific (was it a cousin of his crashing on his couch while backpacking across the states while exploring his bisexuality on time off from college? Or are Lindsey and John McCain secretly spooning?), it’ll probably be hard for Graham to talk his way out of it, if it is as damning as Mike is letting on.

We’ll see what Mike Rogers comes up with, assuming his lawyer doesn’t nix this plan. But keep in mind that Lindsey Graham is still an active member of the Air Force reserves, and Don’t Ask Don’t Tell — which Graham voted against just three days ago — will still be kinda-sorta in place for a time until the full repeal takes effect.

If Graham’s worried about this, it could account for all of the hyperventilation and ragehe’s shown in the last few days.
