Webb to give State of the Union response
25 minutes ago
Freshman Sen. Jim Webb, a Vietnam War veteran, will deliver the official Democratic response to President Bush's State of the Union Address, where the war in Iraq is expected to be a central topic.
As a combat veteran, Webb, D-Va., "understands personally how crucial it is to find a new direction in Iraq and begin to bring the war to a close," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (news, bio, voting record) and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record) said Tuesday in announcing their choice of Webb to respond to Bush's Jan. 23 address to Congress.

That's a fine record. He's using it to advance himself personally which, of course, is also fine. But the fact he profits personally from being a 'credible' voice of dissent makes him fair game, regardless of military record.
Funny how NOTHING they are actually DOING in the Congress they hold majority in deal with Iraq, but that is what the response to the SOTU will focus on? I gotta love it.
This is going to be good. Hatred and blam is what Webb will bring, rather than the unity and the solutions he and his party were tasked with in the last election.
The people voted for change all right, they voted Democrats in so they can no longer cry about not having the power to stop that 'Evil Bush'. Their golden goose goto slogans are gone and now they have to lead instead of oppose the leader.
Democrats have already been falling on their faces in Congress and this next trip will be more fun to watch than when Castro took a nosedive after missing a step.
People thought they were punishing Allen for saying Macaca but instead they ended up electing one.
Boycott!
I wonder if they'll put him on a seven-second delay.
so please explain why he every appearance in the media these last 12 months have had him carry himself as a fist class aft orafice of a donkey?
I would have never guessed marine based on his public conduct.
(S)sorry he has the military service immunity from criticism totem.
(/s)
Dont worry. When he doesnt get his way hell have a temper tantrum and quit. Just like when he was SECNAV.
"military service immunity"
No, no immunity to fair comment. But you libeled a war hero, simply because you disagree with him politically.
And that's not right.
Back to work for me . . . but how `bout just the facts, boys?
It's the only thing that keeps us from becoming Democrats.
No. It turns out Webb's son is a moonbat.
Do you think that George Allen will ever out live that? When his name comes into the news in 20 years, do you think that is the first thing they will mention about him?
I bet it will be the first thing they mention after he passes away.
Duke Cunningham was a war hero.
This guy's ranting will not go over well.
Oh, they'll inject him with sedatives. Don't worry. As long as they keep him from the bar, he'll be reasonable.
Dem collage of responders
I hope he won't get in a plug for adulterers or pedophiles.
I wonder if he will wave around his son's combat boots and call Muslims " ragheads ? "
Webb boasted that he thought about punching President Bush in the face at a reception the White House gave for the new Congressmen and Senators .
I have no doubt that will use the most disrespectful speech for the Commander in Chief .
He's a classless boor .
Part of the Democrats' new tough guy image. While they call for surrender all over the World.
communist or islamist? As a democrat there is no third possibility.
