Following John McCain
Presumptive nominee Sen. John McCain is travelling the globe this week with Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. Joe Lieberman. Yesterday, the trio went to Iraq to get an “on the ground” look at how things are going there. McCain met with General Petreaus and Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki.
Today, they were in Jordan before heading to Jerusalem. It appears that our own Senator Lieberman is doing a great deal to help McCain on the journey:
Later Tuesday, McCain received a celebrity welcome in Jerusalem, beginning a two-day visit to Israel with a stop at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial. As his motorcade pulled up dozens of tourists greeted him and chanted “Mac is back,” as he shook their hands and posed for photographs.During his 90-minute visit at the memorial and museum, McCain was visibly moved, his eyes welling with tears as he viewed photographs from Nazi death camps.
Wearing a skullcap placed on his head by Lieberman, McCain laid a wreath in memory of the 6 million Jewish Holocaust victims and lit a memorial flame. Signing the Yad Vashem visitors’ book he wrote: “I am deeply moved. Never again. John McCain.”
