#1 I should've posted this part of his response:

"..the logistics involved in getting from Northern Virginia to the event and then back again (four hours drive time each way - there was never an offer by the event's organizers to fly me there, or otherwise take care of transportation expenses), would have eaten up the entire weekend."

#2 I'm confused. The story is datelined December 14, about an incident on November 11. Why the delay? And why couldn't the good Senator-elect get on an airplane -- surely there are local flights from the state capitol to Virginia Beach? I understand that beach is a big vacation draw...

#5 sounds like Webb will be the the gift that will keep on giving, ala John F'n Kerry.

#7 Why didn't he use the classic "my grandmother died", or "the dog ate my invitation" excuse instead? It would have been far more believable than the whiny little note that he penned to 'splain himself.

#8  tw are you driving a Mac?

No, RD, a nice little $500 HP Pavilion a1630n. When the HP Update starts, it freezes everything else connected to the web. I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL, end-task it, then everything else which are not responding. When I try to go back online, it lets me restore the previous session, but somehow that post got caught in the middle. *shrug* Otherwise it's much nicer than it's five year old predecessor, which was getting a bit shaky on its pins.

#10 Geez - and this clown is going to be my Senator (through no fault of my own, I assure all and sundry).

It was bad enough he was deliberately rude to the President - now he's beyond rude to veterans. "Eat up the whole weekend" indeed! Wouldn't want to waste your precious time on some damned useless vet, huh?

Say, Jimbo - ya' want a little cheese to go with that WHINE?

#14 Count Larry McCauley, a Navy vet, among those who are more than a little miffed. "I did something I never did before - voted for a Democrat," he says, "He owes us. We busted our asses to get him elected."

Larry, that was just plain fucking STUPID. What the hell were you thinking? Pardon me if I decline to share your sense of high miffedness over Webb's no-show, but you got EXACTLY what you voted for.

Idiot...
