Randi says the Congressional Dems are pissed at Webb

[CatWoman]

because of his comments about wanting to punch Chimpy out.

give me a fucking break................ :nuke:

[iconoclastic cat]

1. I'm glad they're pissed.

And make no mistake, they're pissed because Webb is making them look like wussies.

[cali]

14. Right. Because

Sen. Leahy, for example is such a wuss. Why, goddamnit didn't he smack Cheney, or at least returned the complement? Forget that he's been consistently tough against repubs. Forget that he's fought the good liberal fight in the Senate for 32 years. Forget Kennedy, Harkin, Feingold and many more. Heck, they're just wusses.

Yep, DU's got a new crush.

[iconoclastic cat]

18. Point taken.

:hi:

[Chemical Bill]

21. Leahy got anthraxed, right?

People may forget that top Democratic leaders got death at their doors. I can't claim that I would be braver than Leahy after that kind of mail.

Bill

[iconoclastic cat]

22. I wonder if any of those cases will be solved now? nt

[blm]

48. It's the same group pissed for Alito filibuster, censure, and anyone who fought back

against the lies prepetuated by BushInc and his mediawhores.

And, oh yeah - the same group who attacked Denan's 50 state strategy because it showed their decade of targetted state strategy was HAMPERING the national party.

[EdwardM]

2. I hope Jim Webb is the future for the Democratic Party.

We don't need a bunch of suck ups like Lieberman and Daschle! We need to people who will kick ass as much as Karl Rove used to do back in the day.

10. any particular reason...

you felt the need to hurl a gender slur?

[ashling]

28. I hate it when I get here too late

to find out what the offending post that got sliced said!

[donco6]

4. I think he should get a CMofH

Fuck the rest of the sycophants - even if they do have a D by their name.

[BushOut06]

7. Didn't some GOP congressman talk about assassinating Clinton?

I remember reading it on this board awhile back, that he called into some RW talk-show in Kansas, and said something about assassinating Clinton.

Those RW types, they sure have a sense of humor, don't they?

[CatWoman]

13. Jesse Fucking Helms

he surely did :nuke:

[Virginia Dare]

17. At the time...

he was blind as a bat and wheelchair bound as I recall. What a douche he was.

[LeftishBrit]

33. Yes, it was news all the way over here

He was the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee at the time, so his opinions were more likely to get relayed to the world than those of the average member of Congress. What a lovely message to send the world!

[xultar]

5. Fucke'm. Webb has my full support. He's the only real person on the hill.

[wryter2000]

6. Yeah, they all have kids in Iraq, too

Oh, wait...they don't.

On edit: The only one who gets to talk is the guy in the House who's kid is in Iraq. Someone named Johnson?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

50. Tim Johnson, Dem from South Dakota.

[Deep13]

8. He said he wanted to assault Bush?

Really?

[CatWoman]

15. not assault

but punch his lights out.

the story is on the home page, posted by kpete.

[Karmageddon]

23. He didn't "threaten" to punch him, he said he felt like punching him.

http://thehill.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/UndertheDome/112906.html

At a private reception held at the White House with newly elected lawmakers shortly after the election, Bush asked Webb how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in Iraq, was doing.

Webb responded that he really wanted to see his son brought back home, said a person who heard about the exchange from Webb.

“I didn’t ask you that, I asked how he’s doing,” Bush retorted, according to the source.

Webb confessed that he was so angered by this that he was tempted to slug the commander-in-chief, reported the source, but of course didn’t. It’s safe to say, however, that Bush and Webb won’t be taking any overseas trips together anytime soon.

[Deep13]

27. ah, he was tempted.

[Virginia Dare]

9. When their kids are sent into the war zone...

then maybe they can judge Webb. Did she have a source for this information?

[NYCGirl]

12. I haven't seen ONE thing about anyone being angry at Webb. I, too, would

like to see what her source is.

[eleny]

11. Who? Lieberman?

:rofl:

[Richard Steele]

45. No, she said "Democrat".

:rofl:

[deutsey]

16. How long will it be before they're calling on Webb to apologize?

:eyes:

Damn Vichy Democrats.

[CatWoman]

19. DEUTS!!!!

:hi:

:loveya:

[deutsey]

31. Hi sweetie!

I'm still lurking about. :evilgrin:

It's good to "see" you! :loveya:

[Phredicles]

30. Nice - I like the phrase "Stokholm Syndrome Democrats", but "Vichy"

makes a very succinct point.:thumbsup:

[Catchawave]

20. Webb is what "a spine" looks like :)

I'd like to know who's mad.

[cali]

24. You can't possibly

know that. Let's see how he does before this kind of adulation gets built up. It's too early to know.

[dogday]

25. Oh My, that is not the image they want to project

Tuff chit guys, Go Webb!!!! :thumbsup:

[Sperk]

26. If my son was in Iraq....I WOULD punch Chimpy out!

I think Webb has every right to feel the way he does.

[Cocoa]

29. is she speculating?

or is this based on comments made by someone?

[CatWoman]

32. she wasn't speculating

i went to her web site for more specifics, but could find none:

[NYCGirl]

34. Have you read anything anywhere that corroborates it?

I'm trying to find a link, but have been unsuccessful.

[CatWoman]

35. No, I haven't

that's why her report surprised the hell out of me.

[AspenRose]

36. I'm so proud of him.

Shows he's a human being. I think people can look past politics and respect that.

Bunnypants is a sadistic, giggling, sociopathic murderer who doesn't give a damn about human life.

I'm proud of you SENATOR Webb and I'm praying for your son (and others) to come home safely, and soon.

[LynneSin]

37. You know, I understand why he doesn't like Bush, but I'm peeved too

Seriously, part of his success was the downfall of his opponent, incumbant George Allen who at one point had his security people stronghold a reporter.

I think Jim Webb could have handled that situation in a much better manner with the 'punch out the lights' comment. That was just not classy.

But I still adore Jim Webb, I appreciate the fact that his kid's life is at stake

[johnfunk]

38. Webb said he avoided the temptation to punch the rude little twit's lights out

Good for Jim. I would not expect the same restraint and courtesy from a Repub;lican...

[retread]

39. All Congressional Democrats? Some? Most? A few? I can guess who. n/t

[Leopolds Ghost]

40. Knowing Randi and Rachel, my guess is her source was herself

They are suckups to the "liberal on social issues ONLY" metro intellectual Dems who got us into this mess. At least Ed Schultz has the guts to admit he owes a lot to Hillary Clinton and willing to disagree with her by name nonetheless. Rachel was sucking up to Vilsack ("my candidate for President") the other day. You can imagine what Vilsack thought about Webb's tough demeanor towards Bush.

[CatWoman]

41. what do you do

make it a rule to piss in every thread about Webb?

[Leopolds Ghost]

47. Huh? I like Webb.

I'm just now reading about this.

[leesa]

42. Figures. Idiots.

[ljm2002]

43. Seriously...

...IF it's true, they need someone to shake them by the shoulders until they come to their senses.

This group seems to be so used to being beaten about the head and shoulders by all of the Beltway punditry every time someone looks sideways, they're scared of their own shadows.

Bush asked a question, possibly intended to needle Webb. Webb responded reasonably, but he went a little off the script that Bush had in his head and Bush snipped at him in his usual ridiculous fashion. Webb admitted later that he'd felt like punching l'il Pissypants' lights out. Then, all of the pundits jumped in (George Will comes to mind), twisting the events and acting like Webb was the one who has a behavior problem.

So here's a thought, Dems: the right at least know how to stick up for one another. How about we try it once in awhile?

[alfredo]

44. They're jealous.

[NuttyFluffers]

46. Randi is good for reminding them about "don't circle the wagons"

but i'm sure it still is happening, moreso behind closed doors naturally. she tries, she tries...

[cadmium]

49. What did Randi say?

Did she side with the whiny dems or support Webb?

[opihimoimoi]

51. Are they pissed he DIDN"T THROW A PUNCH??? Jus askin...
