Thinkprogress:
Last Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) suggested that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) visit Iraq — together — saying “it would be good for the country.” When asked about Graham’s idea, McCain said, “Sure. It would be fine,” adding condescendingly, “I would also seize that opportunity to educate Senator Obama along the way.”
But would such a plan actually be feasible? In a washingtonpost.com chat this afternoon, Post Congressional reporter Paul Kane suggested that there is “no way” the Secret Service would buy into the McCain/Graham scheme:
Roseland, N.J.: John McCain’s suggestion that both he and Barack Obama visit war-strewn Iraq together: Can you think of an idea the Secret Service would veto faster?
Paul Kane: Yeah, that idea did make me chuckle. No way Secret Service allows such a thing. Remember that market visit McCain did in Baghdad in early ‘07?

I wish Lindsey Gramm would shut up or better yet, go park his tent (with Larry Craig) in sunny western Baghdad for the duration of their war...with no body armor, tainted water, food and nothing but a couple of side arms- like they have done to our soldiers. Yes I know Lindsey says he's a soldier-to quote Cheney "So?"
