Is spinster like a slur for gay men that I haven't heard of?
Now, now. Lindsey is a spinster-man. Big difference. I don't know exactly what that difference is, but it's big.

I don't think it's a need at all.
I do think it's interesting that no ones making a fuss over the matter that the first gay presidential candidate to run and has a chance of winning is a republican.
It's a scenic, rural county. If you don't have to be someplace in a hurry, it's a good place to live, like much of SW Virginia.
With Senator Lindsey Graham running for the Presidency and being a Bachelor, (not that he has any chance at winning such) this does bring up the question about the need for a First Lady. Who would be the First Lady if the President was a Bachelor. What say ye. Do we need a First Lady?
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a presidential hopeful, is a bachelor. Would he need a first lady? It's a question complicated by shifting views of what a first lady should be.
To some, the role is more than just ceremonial. To others, choosing china sets and guest lists is a relic of a bygone age.
Only two presidents were unmarried when taking the oath of office: James Buchanan (D) and Grover Cleveland (D). Of the two, only Buchanan remained single through his presidency. But even he had a woman in his life willing to step in and play the role of White House hostess. Buchanan’s niece, Harriet Lane, became a well-known Washington socialite who, as the White House website highlights, “filled the White House with gaiety and flowers, and guided its social life with enthusiasm and discretion, winning national popularity.”....snip~
Lindsey Graham interview raises question: Do we need a first lady?
When do you think the NY Times will come out reporting on that?
I doubt it. I think that word passed out of common usage in the US a very long time ago. It is still used in Great Britain for elderly women who never married, and mostly employed as a descriptive legal term.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Linsey Graham is dating John McCain. They're seen everywhere together, finish each other's sentences, etc. I'm sure TMZ has some film they're anxious to air when the time is right. And don't forget, John McCain is dying to get into the White House, so it's a good fit.
I believe it's in the Constitution that if the President is a bachelor, a First Lady will be assigned to him by a 2/3 majority of congress.
I don't know, I'm surprised you don't see it anywhere honestly. I guess it's cause he's not a front runner.
No. More relevant now, though, is the possibility of Bill Clinton as the "First Gentleman." WTF would he do in THAT role?
get more blow jobs in the White House.

Welcome back - someone finally post bail for you??
Not the kind of place where moonshiners will jump out of the woods and sodomize you at gunpoint?
Oh, I thought spinster meant like an old crazy scientist.
