Graham: Lickerman is a 'national treasure.’


Thinkprogress:
During a recent interview, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Joe Lieberman (I-CT) “something special,” recounting their recent trip abroad. He also claimed that people around the world view McCain as a “reassuring” presence, but later admitted that no one had a “McCain sticker” on their desk:
GRAHAM: Senator Lieberman, I think, is a national treasure, because no matter how you feel about his politics, he was willing to risk everything, politically, for a cause he believed in. But to see the interaction between these two guys and world leaders was something special. […]
I think John McCain will be a reassuring presence to the world. … It really was a smile on people’s faces, knowing that if this guy got to be president, I think we could do business with him. … I think he’s a reassuring presence. Doesn’t mean that they prefer John over Obama or Senator Clinton, but there’s a level of comfort there. […]
Q: But some probably do prefer him, don’t they?
GRAHAM: Oh, I would think, but no one told us. No one had a McCain sticker on their desk.

Things must be heating up in Connecticut for Lickerman. For Graham to speak on Lickerman's behalf things aren't going well for the Republican Senator Joe Lieberman. I guess the voters now know he used them to get in office and is still laughing at how well it went.
