The surge is worki... d'oh!! Plane with U.S. lawmakers aboard fired on in Iraq

A US military plane with three GOP senators and a Democratic congressman onboard came under rocket fire while leaving Baghdad for Jordan Thursday night and had to take evasive maneuvers. Democratic Rep. Bud Cramer and Republican Senators Richard Shelby, Mel Martinez and James Inhofe were not injured, and, once they had changed their pants, remarked that it was just like leaving an airport in Indiana.

Bonus: "Sen. Inhofe says terrorists' attempt to shoot down the C-130 military transport plane carrying him and other lawmakers in Iraq demonstrated the progress of the U.S. military campaign." You just can't reason with these people.
