Background on Webb-Bush

A lot of people think Jim Webb may have overreacted to the President Bush when he asked about his son Jimmy at a recent White House function.

I've gotten a tip on the background to this confrontation, and it appears that Webb may have under reacted.

As President Bush is well aware, a couple of weeks before this dinner the tank riding next to Jimmy's in Iraq was under fire and three marines died.

My sources are telling me that the way President Bush approached Webb with his tone, it appeared he was asking the question of how Jimmy was doing in a mocking manner, while he was certainly aware of the tragedy that had hit his unit a few weeks earlier.

Webb has every right to be livid as the Commander in Chief should not be talking about service members in Iraq in a condescending manner like that. I hope everyone can understand what Webb is going through as a parent with death striking Jimmy's unit that closely, and President Bush should have been a lot more sympathetic to Jim's feelings as a parent.

And Jim, thanks for showing the restraint not to knock Bush out when he did that.

I don't know if this report is true, but I thought it was worth relaying to the people here.

Katrina was America's Chernobyl.

On another thread about this incident, I suggested that on second thought, it was a THREAT.

I don't so much see threat here as I do a condescending arrogance. Bush and his father alike shared the same "to the manner born" condescension that Barbara Bush exuded toward the Katrina evacuees. These people need the 1917 Russian Aristocracy treatment or the French Revolution nobility treatment.

Wealth simply corrupts.

the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal bread.

A lot of people think Jim Webb may have overreacted to the President Bush when he asked about his son Jimmy at a recent White House function.

From the written transcript, I think it was Bush who first backhanded Webb by deflecting his first expressed wish that his son return from Iraq.

Bush could have responded with: "I'm sure you want him out of harm's way soonest. My best wishes to you and him."

But no. Instead it's: "That's not what I asked you" as in "I don't give a damn about your wanting him out of Iraq".

IIRC, I believe Jim Webb was Brigade Boxing Champ at USNA during his college days, i.e. he could back up his thoughts.

Wasn't Bush a college cheerleader?

Wouldn't that have been the kicker that finally put smirk in his place.

Apparently Eleanor Clift just reported this report as fact on the McLaughlin Group: OH MY GOD... Did Bush know that Webb's son was almost killed?

Katrina was America's Chernobyl.
