CRYBABY JIM WEBB COULDN'T TAKE THE HEAT


In a throwaway interview in today's New York Times Magazine, Senator Jim Webb says his 2006 Senate campaign was the roughest experience of his life:
Do you think winning your Senate seat from Virginia in 2006 really deepened you all that much? It was one of the most brutal things I’ve ever been through.

You mean the name-calling? It’s more than name-calling. It’s the whole attempt to destroy your personal credibility. That’s the Karl Rove approach. Until you’ve been through that, you don’t really know what it’s like.

Almost all of Jim Webb's campaign was an all-out assault on Senator George Allen's character. The Washington Post ran over 100 stories on Senator Allen's "macaca" slip of the tongue, and that sort of meaningless personal attack is what drove Webb to his narrow victory.

For him to whine now about how rough his campaign was is not pathetic. It's bathetic.

What a loser.

bathetic and hypocritical.

which is why he'd make a good running mate for hillary or obama.

Pardon me for being off topic, but it looks like Paypal could make some accommodation for working folks and the military. Have you heard about how Paypal is treating the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some families are sending prepaid Mastercards and Visas so soldiers and Marines can order stuff on-line like good cotton socks, books, subscriptions to music services, etc. Just simple stuff to make life a little easier. When the merchants refers their purchase over to Paypal they're forced to sign up of course. The problem is that Paypal frequently says they will not process the transaction citing some nonsense about company policy. Strange since once in a while a transaction with one of these cards goes through. Other times they freeze a portion of the cards value without forwarding payment to the merchant - this screws up the cards balance of course. The costumer service folks seating in their nice air conditioned office is either not respond to those risking their lives in Iraq/Afghanistan or to write back some rude note that basically says tough luck.
