""Fields of Fire," a novel about the Vietnam War, has been on the Marine Corps reading list for 20 years"
I don't know this "reading list", but it implies that his work has been an "open book" (pun intended) for several years, and just pulling it out of a hat now makes Allen look more desperate than he should be at this point in the campaign.
Webb's got problems with women. I'm glad Allen's pointing it out for voters who may not know about it.
The media has only seized upon it in the last week but the story has been out there longer than this.
Meanwhile the Dems were in possession of the Foley IMs and sat on them until October. What makes that so absurd is that those same critics are saying that Republicans "knew" (they did NOT know about the IMs) and "did nothing" while the Democrats DID KNOW all along.
