WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Lindsey Graham, old-style politicians who wear their emotions on their sleeves, traveled the world together when Biden served in the Senate.
Graham, a South Carolina Republican, guessed why Biden might be calling him at home on a Sunday night.
"Did we get the bastard?" Graham asked.
"We got him!" a jubilant Biden responded.

Graham...asked Biden to extend his congratulations to President Barack Obama.
"I said, 'Please tell the president that all of us appreciate his persistence when it comes to being aggressive along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border and going after bin Laden,'" Graham said. "This is the time to give the president his due."
Fellow South Carolina Republican Jim DeMint, a conservative leader who is among Obama's fiercest critics, also commended the president.
"The death of Osama bin Laden at the hands of American forces is not only a great victory in the war on terror, but confirmation to freedom's enemies around the world about the inevitable end of a life of terror," DeMint said.
"I offer my heartfelt thanks to everyone responsible for tonight's news: our courageous armed forces, dedicated law enforcement and intelligence communities and President Obama for pursuing the necessary policies to bring about today's success."

Compare and contrast Lindsey’s response vs. DeMint’s response.
Amen, Lindsey!
I'll bet you really gave him the business about that idea of Ubama's to arrest and Mirandize terrorists and exercise "valorous restraint" or whatever he called that new war-making initiative.
And Barry Soetoro did exactly what that causes him to deserve his “due”. I’ve got some dew I’d be willing to shake on him. This was the CIA and the Navy SEALS. Barry didn’t do jack ****.
The word “Stark” comes to mind.
Bush’s “Torture” (aka waterboarding) of KSM lead to the killing of 0sama by 0bama, who objected to the “torture.”
What a hoot!
0bama takes credit for the fruits of “torture”. I love it. GWB lives in 0bummer’s brain, free of charge.
Lindsey Graham never misses a chance to kiss Democratic a**.
“We got him!” a jubilant Biden responded.
Hey Joe!! Its a BIG F#%&ING DEAL
If this whole story is true, I will give MuBarak his due, same as if Bush had done this POS in.
I give Hussein zero credit. The success was solely because of our military—not Hussein.
Pardon me while I stick my finger down my throat.
It’s George Bush’s fault!
It illustrates once again who is the adult.
