Virginia’s soon-to-be senior senator, Jim Webb, was the warm up act for Barack Obama on the Democratic nominee’s seventh visit to Virginia since clinching the Democratic nomination.
Webb, who at one point was mentioned as a possible running mate for Obama, praised his colleague from Illinois for picking Joe Biden. “People know Joe Biden, and people know that he is capable in a moment of stepping forward and assuming the responsibilities of president of the United States,” he said.
And while he called John McCain a friend, he questioned the GOPer’s judgment. “Now John McCain chose Gov Palin,” he continued as the crowd loudly booed. “Do you really think that Sarah Palin was the most qualified person in the Republican party?” he questioned, reminding voters that the Republican ticket’s slogan is “Country First.”
Standing in a hall in front of more than 8,000 in red Southwestern Virginia, he continued, “I don’t know how many people here like country music, I like country music. There was a song about two years ago, ‘I know what I was doing but what was I thinking?’ I think John McCain is probably singing that sing right now.”
But he wasn’t done quite yet. “At the debate Governor Palin turned around and said, ‘Nice to meet you, can I call you Joe?’ And what I was really thinking is Joe what you ought to do is say, ‘Yeah, you can whatever you want and in two months you’re going to be calling me Mr. Vice President.’”

who gives a goddamn what that melonhead has to say?
Why doesn’t he just go back to writing (cough) fiction about little boys.
8000 is not a very impressive crowd for a messiah even if he is in the desert or walking across the sea.
Webb has betrayed his country by going over to the Marxists.
“Hey, son, how was school today? Now come over here and let me su*^ that d*&*!”
If you think that’s vile, that’s exactly what he wrote about. Sorry.
2 terms makes you as senior senator? I say Macaca to Jim Webb

Plus her debate beat the Obama McCain debates.
Actually, I know a whole lot about Joe Biden, having watched him in action for some time and I know he is utterly incapable of being president of the United States. In addition to being not very bright, and as corrupt as they come, he is a liar and a plagerizer. Not my idea of presidential material.
“Senior” Senator from the Great State of Blagh is simply the one who’s been in office longer. When Jawn Wahnuh finally staggers out of the Senate for the last time, that will mean that Webb the Jackass will have been in office longer than whoever gets elected in November.
Time for Sarah to take aim at him. She could bring him down several pegs with one word.
Why won’t McCain let her loose? She’s great at hunting big game. She kicked butt in AK and she could do it here in the lower 48 too!
I doubt Webb enough knows what a Marxist is. He’s not exactly the sharpest knife in the cookie jar. He does the bluster thing on cue from his masters okay, but outside of that, he’s not exactly a intellectual power. Just one of the left’s token military stooges who’s too dumb to realize it.
I bet the hothead never even realized the incredible irony in his weak attack. Sarah Palin is far more qualified than Barack Obama.
"Hey Jimmy boy! Do you really think that Barack Obama was the most qualified person in the Democrat party?”
fivehead ping
“...Why won’t McCain let her loose?...”
Indeed! She is an asset that deserve more TV time and money.
As for the once sorta semi-conservative Webb. He is a disgrace. He rose as one opposing women in combat but now goes for this equal-at-all-costs American-hating Marxist.
Maybe she wasn’t the most qualified in the GOP, but she’s certainly more qualified than Obama.
