While addressing the RNC, Joe Lieberman attempted to inject some levity into his speech by referring to his travels with McCain and others in the GOP posse.
My friends, I have had the privilege and I’d say the pleasure of traveling the world with John McCain, even with Lindsey Graham it was a pleasure.
The line didn’t get a laugh at the RNC and it stumped the Fox commentators who were parsing Lieberman’s speech after the fact.
Fred Barnes: Joe Lieberman seemed to have a good time. He made that joke about traveling with McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham. An inside joke we all laughed at. I don’t think the delegates had the slightest idea.
Brit Hume: Why was it funny?
Barnes: Because Lindsey Graham sort of a wild and crazy guy. He always hangs around with McCain, and when the three get together, it’s…They are quite a group.
Hume: OK. I guess i get that.
It was a noble effort by the Fox team to explain the Connecticut senator’s joke, but in the end, the punchline proved elusive. Alas.
