As political rituals go, the phony denial of interest in the VP nomination is among the most annoying. So credit Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee for unequivocally stating their willingness to serve as McCain's running mate.
But please, politicians out there, spare us the feeble non-denial denials such as the one Jim Webb offered up on today's Morning Joe. Isn't Webb supposed to be Mr. No-Nonsense Macho Man? After all, he was on the show to tout his new book, A Time to Fight, and to talk up his rough 'n tumble Scots-Irish roots. But judging by his wimpy response to the Veep question, perhaps the book should be renamed A Time to Mealy-Mouth. His reply to Mika Brzezinski's question on his interest in the Veep nomination has to go down as one of the lamest of the genre.

Webb wimps out ping to Today show list.
Always remember:
When a REPUBLICAN is “rough and tumble” and “likes a fight”, he is “mean-spirited”.
When a DEMOCRAT is “rough and tumble” and “likes a fight”, he is demonstrating “integrity” and is “defending his strongly held convictions”.
If ANY Republican EVER had the phrase “Born Fighting” as his campaign slogan he would be ANNIHILATED in the Press.
But they suck up to this imcestuous-homosexual-pedophilic- drivel-writing Jackass almost as much as they do B. Hussein.
Sorry that should have been: “...iNcestuous-homosexual-pedophilic-drivel-writing Jackass...”
Webb is an anti free market RAT. He doesn’t understand the liberties and free enterprise that he fought to defend.
So he is a good fit with Osbama. Peas in a pod.
Yeah, he’s THAT too.
Jim “Born Idiot” Webb strikes again.

Richmond ping.
I still can’t believe this idiot is our Senator....soon to be the senior senator from Virginia. Ugh.
Is is me or does this guy remind you of some perv at the ball park? He is a traitor to my country and to the troops keeping us safe. As my brother heads out to Iraq I wish President Bush would jail these criminals starting with pelosi then with kennedy then with murtha then with.....
For the cube-bound, can someone give a brief run-down of his answer?
Oh, and Webb is an ethically-retarded malignant narcissist.
Clicking on the NewsBusters link takes you to the transcript.
“Isn’t Webb supposed to be Mr. No-Nonsense Macho Man?”
Yeah, he presents himself as a combat vet, pro gun, conservative democrat(oxymoron). But, should Obama become POTUS, he will eagerly drop down on his knees and do Obama’s bidding...
And just why would he need to be on his knees to do Obama’s bidding????
;^)
He is a VERY disturbing looking individual. I’m not referring to his God-given “looks”, about which he can do nothing. But the expressions on his face and his demeanor in general are frightening to watch.
If a guy who looked/acted like that approached my 6 year old son in the park for ANY reason I am not sure I would be able to draw my gun fast enough.
>Is is me or does this guy remind you of some perv at the ball park?<
I see you’ve read his books.
“What are you going to do now, Lieutenant?”
Webb likes to throw temper tantrums when he doesnt get his way, that doesnt seem to military to me.
Rubbish. Webb won the Navy Cross as a Marine in vietnam. His son is a Marine captain fighting in Iraq. Read his article in last sundays Parade magazine. If Obama picks him as VP, he will stomp McCain.
>>He is a VERY disturbing looking individual>>
Well that red henna rinse he’s doing to his hair doesn’t help. Picturing him with that little plastic cap on his head removes a lot of the machismo.
