SAGAL: ... You write in your book, you say that Joe Lieberman is the funniest and most charming man you've ever met.
Ms. McCAIN: He is.
SAGAL: Tell me, have you met any other men?
(Soundbite of laughter)
Ms. McCAIN: Be nice to Joe. Seriously.
SAGAL: I'm sorry, if I...
Ms. McCAIN: Seriously, in person, he is hilarious.
SAGAL: Really?
Ms. McCAIN: He is my favorite. He and Senator Graham are my favorite. He is hilarious and he's just - he was so sweet and so kind and he's just very charming. And, I don't know, I love him.
SAGAL: Because we have made fun of him for years. Can you give us - can you stand up for Joe Lieberman? Give us a great Joe Lieberman story. Can you do that?
Ms. McCAIN: A great Joe Lieberman story? I'm trying to - there are so many.
SAGAL: Oh, of course.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Ms. McCAIN: I mean one time we were on the back of the bus...
SAGAL: All right, no, here we go.
Ms. McCAIN: Okay. One time we were on the back of the bus. We were, like, in Ohio and it was really bumpy. And I was like, I get really car sick, I'm like a Chihuahua. Like, anytime in a car, like, I'm going to throw up, like, I'll have issues. And I was like, Joe, I'm going to be sick. And he was like just don't throw up on my shoes. And it made me laugh so much that I stopped thinking about that. I was like you just have like these great one-liners. And I was like, all right, as long as I don't throw up on your shoes, today's a good day.
SAGAL: He said just don't throw up on my shoes.
Ms. McCAIN: Yes.
(Soundbite of laughter)
SAGAL: I mean, I will grant you that he's a charming, wonderful, funny man.
