Hmmm

I was skimming through CNN's Political Page today when I saw a very intriguing story. It concerned Jim Webb, the new Senator-elect from Virginia who destroyed the future Presidential hopes of long time Senator George Allen. Apparently at a recent reception at the White House for new members of Congress President Bush sought out Webb to ask him how his son was doing, being a Marine stationed in Iraq right now. It seemed like a rather innocent question but as I had forgotten Webb had been very quiet during his campaign in regards to his son. "I've always made a distinction about not speaking personally about my son." I don't know whether or not President Bush decided to try and get under Webb's skin (a very unlikely notion) but I think this cold shoulder that a Vietnam veteran and father of an Iraq infantryman gave his Commander In Chief signifys the difficulty that President Bush is bound to find in this new Congress. Webb will probably be notorious for being one of the most conservative members of the Senate Democratic Caucus and if this is the sentiment he has for the President then I would be shaking in my Texas cowboy boots right now. So buckle your seatbelts ladies and gentlemen, we're going to have a wild ride in the next two years.
