Webb Wimps Out on VP Question
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/21/2008 7:44:31 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

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.

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.

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.

For the cube-bound, can someone give a brief run-down of his answer?

Oh, and Webb is an ethically-retarded malignant narcissist.

“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...

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.

Webb wimps out

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.

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.
