"I bought five carpets for five bucks," Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina gushed at a presser shortly after the visit.
See?
I have to digress for another carpet story about a different (ex) Senator, who shall remain nameless so as not to implicate my source.
It goes like this....
A certain ex-Senator happened to have a scheduled vacation in Greece at the same time that there was serious rioting in Athens. The ex-Senator had been told of a particular store where one could get good deals on nice carpets and wanted to go shopping.
"I'm sorry, but that location is in the area where they are rioting," the Greek limo driver said.
And the ex-Senator replied, "But it's after four o'clock."
But, back to the Newsweek article...
In any case, it didn't take the insurgents long to send their reply. Less then 30 minutes after McCain wrapped up, a barrage of half a dozen mortars peppered the boundaries of the Green Zone, where the senators held their press conference.
Going well. Going well. Let's continue to get out there and report the good news.
I'm gonna send a couple of bucks to Senator Graham and ask him if he could bring me back a nice throw rug next visit, since I don't have the air fare to make the trip myself.
