Webb is a military man in the same vein as John Murtha and Charlie Rangel.
It reminds me of my own profession. Mathematicians can sometimes do the stupidest things. Military men can sometimes do the most dishonorable things. The most honorable thing for Webb to do would be to accept full responsibility -- at least after the night in jail -- whether it's his fault or not.
. . .and that makes him real close to a 'John Kerry' military example. . .I assume(?) Or perhaps he was just too early to be smart.
Whatever his past; he is a total embarassment to the great state of Virginia. . .and the rest of America who must tolerate such abject inferiority representing their interest in Washington. But so it goes, with any Democrat assuming power, post Election.
