Talking to #LindseyGraham on South Carolina primary day in 2016. He told me and my Irish Times pal @SiCarswell that he liked to stock up on Baileys Irish Cream when he stopped at Shannon Airport. Described it as “old, sour milkshake”.

Talked to him many times over the years, especially when I covered the Pentagon. He had a wicked sense of humor. RIP
