Suck it, cons...we're bringing respectability back to Congress.

Whoa! Hold your horses, sonny. Webb is ahead by 8,000 votes, but unless Allen concedes there will be a recount. This won't be decided for a few weeks.

I heard things. Behind the scenes...cons are urging Macaca not to challenge...they want to stop dragging this thing out.

Respectability? Hasn't Webb had his fair share of slips of tongue?

Is this the same Webb who wrote the sordid man/boy love novels?

I never was outraged by the book. Just wondering if this is the guy he's claiming will bring respectability to the Senate.

If you define "respectibility" as stupid bullsh1t like writing a racy book about the war I guess you're right. Personally I think Jim Webb is going to be a great Senator. He's a Vietnam vet, former secretary of the navy under Reagan, his son is an active duty Marine in Iraq and Webb was a lifelong Republican until recently. What else do you want out of an elected rep? He has a personal stake in everything that's going on right now.

Ah.. Ty, Ty, Ty. Nobody really gives a fock about that stuff except the people at your church. He wrote a novel and the marines -God forbid- went to a strip club.

 

The thing is ... competence. How you do the job. How you'll vote. And frankly, yes, I suspect Jim Webb will bring respectability to Congress. He really really seems like a great guy and I hope he does Virginia proud. You know, with Lincoln Chaffee and Jim Jeffords gone, I'm going to need a new favorite Senator. Fock all- Virginia just replaced one of the worst with one of the best.

 

Hopefully he does everything he says he'll do.

I don't think the strip club thing was as big as the gay American soldier giving the young boy a blowjob.

Really? Maybe there's smoke there but I doubt any fire. Obviously, I never bothered to pay attention to the 'scandal' nor did I read the book. I just heard it was about a novel he wrote, rolled my eyes, and didn't think it was worth my time. Understand I don't get my news from TV, I don't get American TV. I read online. If something sounds stoopid -like Brittney Spears divorce or National League baseball- I don't open a link.

I didn't read it either. The quotes I read online referenced a father holding his son upside down and putting the young boy's pen!s into his mouth. Just doesn't sound respectable to me for a Senator.

 

But, hey, I respect your opinion. He may do a fine job. He's obviously served the country with respectability in the past.

I guess its a good thing Webb has never committed that act which you describe above.

 

Perhaps TyCobb likes to have racists in the Senate

"John McCain--contending it is a serious work of fiction based upon incidents he witnessed while serving in the Vietnam War. Allen did not participate in Vietnam"

And no, I don't support racism. But I would point out that it is the Democrats trotting out Robert KKK Byrd year after year, not the Repubs.

Webb says that scene was something he actually witnessed in Vietnam. The book the excerpt came from has been lauded by John McCain and Tim O'Brien (among others) as a graphic depiction of the war.

 

Incidently, I'm really stunned by what a totally inept and pathetic campaign George Allen ran. He was up by something like 15 percentage points in July. Then he makes the macaca comments, follows that up with a really stupid explanation, and days before the election his campaign floats excerpts of a book to the Drudge Report.

 

Is this the same George Allen who was a presidential hopeful six months ago? If Allen is among the best the GOP has to offer it's no wonder they got clobbered in the elections.

But I would point out that it was the Republicans that trotted out Strom Thurmond year after year, not the Dems.
