I Went to Baghdad and All I Got Were Fake Oakleys

Larry C Johnson

Not to be outdone by John McCain, Joe Lieberman strapped it on and went out for a Baghdad shopping spree. Stop the presses, we're winning because Joe got some nifty shades. McClatchy's Leila Fadel has the story:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Spc. David Williams, 22, of Boston, Mass., had two note cards in his pocket Wednesday afternoon as he waited for Sen. Joseph Lieberman. Williams serves in the 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Bragg, N.C., the first of the five "surge" brigades to arrive in Iraq, and he was chosen to join the Independent from Connecticut for lunch at a U.S. field base in Baghdad.

The night before, 30 other soldiers crowded around him with questions for the senator.

(Read the rest here.)

Yep, count on Senator Joe to put our troops in harms way so that he can get a photo op and some knock off shades. Oh, and the death toll for our troops in Iraq for May is over 120. Third highest body count since George Bush declared Mission Accomplished. Way to go Joe.

I like Larry C's 'strait, no chaser' style.
