<p>This article implies that Virginia’s junior Senator has improved his social graces. In November, Senator Webb made an ass of himself at a White House reception for new members of Congress.</p>

<p>He made an ass of himself long ago. By now it’s just habit.</p>

<p>Did anyone know that Jim Webb lost a boxing match to Oliver North in his second class year, I think its hilarious and maybe Ollie should try it again some time.</p>

4

<p>^^^^^
Ollie should try what?? Boxing or running for the Senate again??</p>

<p>Hid “beer moment”??? </p>

<p>“My little Benji”???</p>

<p>Lord help us.</p>

<p>First, Ollie needs to make sure he understands the difference between what’s “legal” and what’s “illegal…” under the Constitution of the United States. Perceived personal loyalty doesn’t trump the law of the land, nor does it give one the right to lie under oath to Congress. He and his bud Adm Poindexter didn’t do the nation (or Reagan) any favors during Iran-Contra. There are plenty of scallywags like Ollie on both sides of the political scene.</p>

<p>I’ve always laughed at this.</p>

<p>Why not? They lie to US under oath all the time. :mad:</p>

9

<p>True, oh so true…
oh well.</p>

10

<p>Hey; I though we weren’t going to discuss politics anymore?!?</p>

11

<p>So far we’re all agreeing. :)</p>

12

<p>“So far we’re all agreeing.”</p>

<p>Not openly disagreeing, and agreeing, are not synonymous.</p>

13

<p>Jeez. Picky, picky.</p>

<p>It was a JOKE.</p>

<p>Sheesh.</p>

14

<p>My response was also tongue-in-cheek. Relax Zap…Sheesh.</p>

<p>no, but really, I thought we…</p>

15

<p>Should have used a smiley. :D</p>

16

<p>That thought crossed my mind as well.</p>

<p>That has to hurt like the proverbial female dog…</p>

<p>“McGarvey was the fifth radio operator I had lost in three months.”</p>

<p>After McGarvey was wounded, Webb wrote, the Marine looked at him, shook his head and said, “Knock that stuff off, Lieutenant. It’s only an arm.”</p>

<p>Within a week after McGarvey was taken away in a medevac helicopter, he wrote the platoon a letter. Webb continued, “He went to a tattoo shop and had a ring of blue dashes inked around what remained of his arm. Just above it was inscribed ‘CUT ALONG DOTTED LINE.’”</p>

<p>I’m guessing he can handle the Washington crowd.</p>
