More heads-of-state dates, one involving a header

Inspired by President Bush’s kitschy tour of Graceland with the Japanese prime minister, MSNBC’s First Read blog asked 2008 presidential hopefuls which world leaders they’d take on a trip and where. Former Sen. John Edwards said he’d take Chinese President Hu Jintao to a North Carolina-Duke basketball game. Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney would walk Boston’s Freedom Trail with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee would take British Prime Minister Tony Blair to Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Then there was this surprise from Sen. John Kerry: “I’m sure I’d get in trouble if I said I’d take (Iranian leader) Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the Grand Canyon and push, but, man, would that exorcise some ‘04 campaign demon.”
