He is 1200 pounds of steam in a 600psi boiler. Give him 3 years and he will be found wandering the streets of D.C. shouting at traffic lights.

Barnicle described Webb as being “so terrific for this country and for the United States Senate because at any given time, he’s liable to reach across the aisle or reach acorss the desk in front of him and turn the person upside down and…

Had to.

So, would he have time to turned me upside down before or after I punched him in the nose?

Chihuahua… I like that description!! I will never look at Webb the same way again. That would make a great Secret Service code name for junior Senator. On second thought, let’s hope there is never a need for him to have a code name.

Lastly, one night in Bangkok obviously did not make Jim Webb humble!! Where was he doing his research, in the gay part of town?

No offense to you New Englanders btw. We all have our crosses to bear.

I want to apologize (on behalf of Virginia) for electing Webb to office.

Webb spent to much time writing soft porn novels (in NOVA), and does not fully reflect the views of citizens throughout the state/commonwealth.

IMHO, Webb will turn out to be just another liberal who wasn’t up to the task.

Bush made me do it. /sarc

In that case, don’t worry about it. More often than not, it is Bush’s fault – hell, I can’t think of a time when it wasn’t his fault.

Bush made me do it. /sarc

The topic leaves a bad taste in ones mouth.

Had to go there, didn’t you?

The topic leaves a bad taste in ones mouth.

It’s not a sexual act,” Webb told Plotkin regarding the “Lost Soldiers” excerpt. “I actually saw this happen in a slum in Bangkok when I was there as a journalist

Jim webb states about the 4 yr.old doing the deed.

This is great research, this is what he watches and writes about. Definitely DNC leadership material.

I would hate to hear what else he would like to reach across the table and choke.

Damn, you beat us all to it.

Hey Ian, I’m surprised there’s been no “View” post today. They had Whoopie on as guest host, and they talked about all sorts of interesting stuff – like the war, the surge, Dick Cheney being a “draft-dodger”, and Hillary dealing with “evil men”. I was actually still at home when that joke of a show was on – only watched part of it.

Bag him all you want, I suspect he’s going to be quite a dangerous challenge to the GOP if the Dems keep putting him up front..

Bagging him is fun because he’s a pugnacious little douchebag. Oh boy, a politician that isn’t a gelding nancy boy. Ok, 15 minutes later, now what? Maybe he’ll threaten to punch out a reporter or something on fox. Meanwhile, the dems don’t need to worry about attacking the Republicans. As usual, our power turds have the guns inward and are doing their best to urinate on their base and guarantee another electoral drubbing. I’m just sick of the fawning on these lame a$$es. First Saddam Hussein Obamaramasama, now this d*ckweed Webb. Why not show John Kerry open mouth kissing the Iranian President in Davos? I bet at least 35% of our voting population in America would find that to be a good thing and entertaining.

2) Barnicle described Webb as being “so terrific for this country and for the United States Senate because at any given time, he’s liable to reach across the aisle or reach across the desk in front of him and choke the person that he’s dealing with.”

Maybe he can practice on Jim Moran first.

….. at any given time, he’s liable to reach across the aisle or reach across the desk in front of him and choke the person that he’s dealing with.”

Or, reach down, pick them up by their ankles and ……

Webb is an empty suit with no ideas. He’s only getting the glory treatment because he was rude to Bush at the White House in December.

Here in Virginia, we’re still waiting on his ideas on transportatiom improvements, Iraq (other than leaving) and a whole host of real life issues. Hail Senator Webb! King of Nothing!

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a Democrat Party that could be the loyal opposition of old? It was once, remember. That the Dems trotted out their brand-new Senator is a sign of hope. He is what John Kerry pretended unsuccessfully to be. He’s a guy you can work with. You don’t want them all to be Chuck Shumers now do you?
