During his town hall meeting at the Denver Center for the Performing arts, John McCain gets testy with a vet when questioned on his lack of support for Jim Webb's GI Bill and other bills that he's voted against which would support veterans. Gee I wonder why the media decided not to cover this today and show the crazy lady screaming about taxes instead?

Despite the increasing presence of Democrats such as Brian Schweitzer, Russ Feingold, Jim Webb, and Bill Richardson who are embracing our Second Amendment rights, it seems that gun policy for the Democratic Party is still being dictated by the likes of the Brady Campaign and the Violence Policy Center instead of by Democrats themselves. Isn't it time our party found its own voice on gun legislation?...

Brokaw just played the noun, verb, POW McCain did last night and straight up asked Jim Webb about it. AFTER (once afreakingain) lauding him for his service blah, blah, blah, Webb pretty much blew it off as "his perogative". WTF? He couldn't have just refused to answer and make a face or something? Pussies, they're all freaking pussies. UPDATE- THAT WAS FREAKING FEINGOLD WITH WEBB? Jeff just stormed...

Senator Jim Webb addressed the Virginia delegation this morning.

At a feminist event earlier today, Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar talked about how cool it is to have men in the congressional wives's/spouse's club: One day, she saw her husband walking with a pink box. What was he doing? 'I'm going to Jim Webb's wife's baby show.' Senator Klobuchar gushed to the gals gathered: 'That's the sexiest thing I've ever seen.'

As I recall George Allen's "macaca moment" was used against him big time. The Democratic Consultant, Mudcat Saunders who consulted for Jim Webb's campaign sports a confederate flag on his bedspread . The sea of shining, hope-filled faces that routinely flood Barack Obama's rallies would be an alien environment for the grizzled features and tobacco-stained temperament of Dave “Mudcat” Saunders.
