Sen. Mark Kirk has the difficult task of running for re-election in Illinois next year as a Republican. He also has a day job on Capitol Hill that includes things like attending meetings of the Appropriations Committee and getting caught making cracks on mic that he wishes he hadn't made:

"I've been joking with Lindsey, cuz he doesn't have—did you see that?—have a rotating first lady. He's a bro with no ho."

Kirk here is referring to Graham's remarks the other day that he'll have a "rotating first lady" in the unlikely event he's elected president. Kirk, like Graham, is not married.

1:23 PM PT: Oh wow. The full Kirk quote is much, much worse—if you can believe it:

"I've been joking with Lindsey, cuz he doesn't have—did you see that?—have a rotating first lady. He's a bro with no ho. That's what we'd say on the South Side."

The South Side is a region of Chicago that is predominantly African American. Kirk, who is white, is pretending he's fit to channel black vernacular here and just ... oh my. In April, Kirk declared that he wanted to make sure "that the black community is not the one we drive faster through." This is a man with a serious problem.
