Washington ComPost ^ | Thursday, September 28, 2006 | Michael D. Shear

Does it depend on what the meaning of "is" is?

Actually, I don't think so. This story was reported by the Washington Post. That's pretty MSM to me. I think they are just a little bit ashamed now of their piling-on of George Allen. I also think they are not real big fans of Jim Webb either. The Webb campaign opened this Pandora's box, now they get to deal with the consequences.

Although I actually don't believe in using these old tales of high school, I think the tale about Webb is a bit more credible.

What I REALLY would like to hear is from his co-workers at the Pentagon!

Reporting it once is no big deal. See if they keep it up.

Webb is a quitter turned moonbat - he has nothing to offer. The perfect left candidate.

he probably used the word Niggardly. Hillary came to his rescue and corrected him by telling him to not say "don't be niggardly with your donation" to "don't Jew me."

In all seriousness, who hasn't used the word nigger? I roomed with a black guy in college who listened to gangster rap. The word nigger was used every two seconds. Blacks greet each other with SUCH endearing phrases like "What's up my nigger?" I believe it is Bill Cosby who commented about this idiotic use of the word in the black community. Either the word is hurtful or it's not. Jews don't go around calling each other Kike. Irish don't go around calling each other Micks. Hispanics don't go around calling each other spics or beaners. So why is it that only black have this ability to call each other nigger but no one else can, unles you are Robert "Sheets" Byrd.
