The weird-ass lovefest between Sens. Clinton and Graham

Theoretically an Iraq-related story but this just needs to be considered on its own:

Graham and Clinton both appealed for an end to partisan wrangling so that the problems that created the Abu Ghraib scandal -- too few troops, and those being poorly trained and unprepared, along with a breakdown of command -- can be fixed.

"We are the greatest nation in the history of the world," Clinton said. "We have rule of law. We have due process. We have ideals and values. And, frankly, that's what we think we're fighting for. It is imperative that we do this right and that we follow the investigations wherever they lead."

"I would ask both sides to kind of knock it down a notch, work together to find more troops. If we can work together," Graham said, referring to himself and Clinton, "that's a good sign."

The former first lady was making her first appearance on "Fox News Sunday," and host Chris Wallace pointed out that she was appearing with Graham -- who was one of the "managers" from the House of Representatives who unsuccessfully prosecuted her husband's impeachment in his Senate trial.

"I don't think that was lost on her," Graham commented wryly.

Clinton said she believes "in redemption and growth."

"People who were previously misguided can see the light," she said.

I don't know how someone (from ANY nation), even if they believe it, can say "we are the greatest nation in the history of the world" without a trace of self-consiousness.

But she has such good reasons to say it! "We have rule of law. We have due process. We have ideals and values"!! Wow, gives the rest of us something to aim for!
