First, he turned a kind inquiry about his son from President Bush into a confrontation.

I haven't been in contact with much media this past week, what is this in reference to?

There was a get-together, I don't remember the exact details, but the President was meeting the new senators - when the President met Webb he inquired about how his (Webb's) son (who is a corporal in the USMC) is doing in Iraq. The first thing out of Webb's mouth was some sort of question about the motives for going to war. The president said, "I didn't ask that, I asked how your son is doing in Iraq?" Webb remained beligerent and withdrew .. Webb wrote that he wanted to punch the President because he was so angry yada yada ... but the President was doing a respectable thing, asking about his son, and Webb turns it into a media event - disgusting!
