What a colossal a-hole.
Paul Wellstone tried to hand Quayle an audiotape of leftist bilge in a handshake-line just after Quayle had sworn in all the then-new Senators, including Wellfare.
Webb's conduct, at a press-attended event, in response to Bush's cordial question (particularly generous when you consider Webb made bashing Bush a centerpiece of his campaign, during which Webb often wore what he said were his Marine son's combat boots), is even more infantile and self-centered.
The Times Dispatch article had this paragraph, Webb showed his scrappy nature on the campaign trail, coming from behind by 16 points in statewide polls to oust Republican Sen. George Allen. It wasn't anything Webb did that won the Senate seat; it was the media going after Allen in an unprecedented way and Allen's response to their charges. Just last night while changing T.V. channels, there was some kooky female sitting in for Chris Matthews, and she referred to Sen. Allen as George "Macaca" Allen. It's time someone took the media on and gave them hell for the trouble they are causing the United States!
The White House didn't have to 'out' Webb as a "hothead"...his own actions and mouth takes care of that little detail about him!
Webb almost makes me want to root for Army this weekend.
Now, don't go all crazy over this! :)
While I'm certainly no fan of Webb's politics, I was willing to give him benefit of the doubt about being a gentleman. Many libs who I would never vote for appear to be decent people if rather reality-challenged. Both Dem senators in my state of Wisconsin, Feingold and Kohl, are people I would like to see out of office. Nevertheless they've always been perfect gentlemen while in office. Not so Webb. He appears to be a galaxy-sized jerk with an ego to match.
Well, you know, the number one way Republicans slander democrats is by actually quoting the democrats.
My guess is it's along the same lines radical muslims strap bombs on themselves and gladly die for allah--conditioning from birth.
I went to a "Coffee With Jim Webb" in Powhatan. What a joke. 17 people showed including 2 Republicans. Jim Webb showed up via a static embellished cell phone call.
I went to check out a table display in the middle of the coffee shop that featured a pair of black combat boots. I was impressed, thinking that the Democrats were honoring our Troops and perhaps raising some funds for Wounded Warriors.
When I reached the table and read the sign my heart sank. They were asking us to drop campaign contributions into the boots.
BLECCH!
Wow, that's a pretty petty use of combat boots. The guy has no class whatsoever.
We all have to do whatever it takes to make him a one term wonder.
