At a private reception held at the White House with newly elected lawmakers shortly after the election, Bush asked Webb how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in Iraq, was doing.
Webb responded that he really wanted to see his son brought back home, said a person who heard about the exchange from Webb.
“I didn’t ask you that, I asked how he’s doing,” Bush retorted, according to the source.
Webb confessed that he was so angered by this that he was tempted to slug the commander-in-chief, reported the source, but of course didn’t. It’s safe to say, however, that Bush and Webb won’t be taking any overseas trips together anytime soon.
Oh my. Sounds like someone missed his wittle nappy time that day. Who gets to check the soiled preznitential drawers after temper tantrums anyway?
Here's the deal, Junior. Just spend the homestretch drumming up a half-billion dollars for your stupid

But note how some journamalists have chosen, of their own volition, to this as 'here's yet another one of those nasty Democratic pricks who just wanna make life unpleasant for a likeable guy half of the American electorate would like to have a beer with' sort of thing.
Liberal media, my ass. All they are is masochistic ghetto bitches with a collective Helsinki Syndrome. Slap them hard enough and they're gonna suck your dick voluntarily.

And the old fart party apparatchiks predictably take him to task for -- gasp -- boorishness and bad English. My God, I can't believe the New Pravda employs lobotomized lizards like that old fuck G-Will. Where do they find these morons?
I'm gonna split the difference on those two articles, Marius. The first one does have that veneer of "difficult Democrat" about it, but what really comes through to me is the typical journamalistic attempt to try to get a handle on Webb. Shear is trying to find the hallowed narrative on how Webb will be approached and discussed in future profiles. He seems to have found his prickly, party-jumping Democratic McCain.
What these people really have, I believe, are deep-seated daddy issues, and as such, nothing gets them revved up like a "maverick", which in this context, translates into "someone who is not predisposed to take shit from an unpopular, failed chief executive".
As for the anal polyp that is George Fwill, recently he'd actually been fairly heterodox (for him), even in the final stages of the electoral campaign. He and his are now falling into defense mode, as they must to maintain whatever Serious Commentator status remains for them.
Like you, I never cease to marvel at the things that do not occur to these people. Bush has never been nearly as likeable as he has been portrayed, nor has his administration, in an operational sense, been even marginally civil about getting things done. They have bullied, pushed, insulted, impugned, with no compunction whatsoever.
And now Jim Webb is a prick. Good. I hope he continues to be one, at every opportunity. Fuck these people, and fuck their fake civility.
