Here’s a story about Jim Webb, my new senator, being an ass. Anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to the election knew that he would behave like a perfect boor once he got to Washington. His campaign motto was “Born Fightin’,” but since he campaigned on abandoning Iraq, one could only surmise he meant that he was “Born Fightin’ Republicans.”
Best line from the story, though, is Webb’s attempt to rival John Kerry in gratuitous dropping of the “Did you know that I served in Vietnam?” line:
Webb said he has “strong ideas,” but he also insisted that — as a former Marine in Vietnam — he knows how to work in a place such as the Senate, where being part of a team is important.
Next up in the series, no doubt, will be Jim Webb referring to the newly elected Democrat senators as his “band of brothers.”
