Presidential candidate and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) is furious about Fox News' rules for the first GOP primary debate. 

 In a Fox News interview on Friday, Graham blasted the right-leaning network's "dumb" rules, which will limit the participants to 10 candidates polling the best in an average of the five most recent national polls. 

"I think that this is a dumb way to weed out the field," Graham declared. 

"Brad Pitt would be in the debate in August. Anybody with any celebrity would be in the debate," he said. "I don't mind weeding out the field over time." 

"It's July for God's sakes!" he added. "So a national poll is a lousy way, in my view, to determine who should be on the stage. And I quite frankly resent it." 

Asked if he would like to "name some names," Graham directly said Fox News and the Republican National Committee, which partnered with networks to schedule the primary debates. 

Graham further stressed that he wasn't just angry at the rules on his own behalf. He repeatedly said Fox's poll-driven process is "destroying" the opportunity for all of the scrappy, underfunded candidates to win over voters in the small, early primary states. 

"It's not about me," he said. "Under this construct, nobody really cares about coming to Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina any more. It's almost about money. And what you're going to reward, over time, is the people with the most money. And you're destroying the early primary process. And I think that's bad for the Republican Party."

The man has a valid point.

Funny, if you didn't know that Lindsey Graham wanted to bomb the shit out of just about every other country in the world he would almost seem like a reasonable person.

But make no mistake, he is by no means a reasonable person.
