MOSCOW --Two U.S. senators visiting sites where weapons of mass destruction are being stored were held for several hours Sunday at a Siberian airport while trying to leave Russia, a U.S. Embassy spokesperson said.
Sens. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., and Barack Obama, D-Ill., were held at the airport in Perm but allowed to leave after discussions between U.S. and Russian officials, the embassy spokesperson said on condition of anonymity.

Too bad Ted the blob was not with them. We could have then negotiated for them to keep him. Might have cost us quite-a-bit, but it would probably have been worth it.

Had this been Vladivostok and not Moscow, Ted would already have been harpooned and skinned for his blubber. Vladivostok is a whaling port for Russia (or former whaling port).

If your name was Osama Obama you damn well should be held.

Far as I'm concerned, we would not miss a RINO and a Dumbocrat.

send Lugar home - he's not worthless yet! All Rhodes Scholars are worthless.

Hope they gave them both a thorough cavity search. Might have been trying to smuggle Cuban cigars.

WRONG! Bill Bradley helped win the championship for the NY Knicks and an Olympic Gold for the U.S.
