Getting off to a great start (from The Hill) …
At a private reception held at the White House with newly elected lawmakers shortly after the election, Bush asked Webb how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in Iraq, was doing.
Webb responded that he really wanted to see his son brought back home, said a person who heard about the exchange from Webb.
âI didnât ask you that, I asked how heâs doing,â Bush retorted, according to the source.
Webb confessed that he was so angered by this that he was tempted to slug the commander-in-chief, reported the source, but of course didnât. Itâs safe to say, however, that Bush and Webb wonât be taking any overseas trips together anytime soon.
Can he vote on bills from Gitmo?
