In a recording leaked to CNN, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham made a great "joke" at an event for an organization that's exclusively made up of white guys. "I'm trying to help you with your tax status. I'm sorry the government's so fucked up. If I get to be president, white men in male-only clubs are going to do great in my presidency." Haha!

Graham told CNN that audio was recorded from his speech earlier this month at the Hibernian Society of Charleston, an all-male Irish-Catholic charity group that "that sometimes hosts big-name politicians for irreverent and frequently bawdy speeches." The audio recordings were apparently leaked to CNN by two South Carolina Democrats; Graham is up for re-election Tuesday.

"I hope this doesn't reflect poorly on the club," Graham told CNN. "They are great guys."
