Jim Webb almost became my favorite Senator.

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.

“Jim did have a conversation with Bush at that dinner,” said Webb’s spokeswoman Kristian Denny Todd. “Basically, he asked about Jim’s son, Jim expressed the fact that he wanted to have him home.” Todd did not want to escalate matters by commenting on Bush’s response, saying, “It was a private conversation.”

I usually do not condone violence directed at our political leaders, but come on how cool would it have been if Webb had decked George? Could you imagine how Bush would have responded? He probably would have cried like the little bitch we all know he is.

I also wonder if the Secret Service would have responded with the same speed they used to react to the Bush twins purse snatching.

"Sorry sir, we thought it might have been a diversion. Bad Jim Webb, bad!"
