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.
“I didn’t ask you that, I asked how he’s doing,” Bush retorted, according to the source.
So the President is nice enough to ask the newly elected Senator how his son is doing, the Senator decides to respond by taking a political poke at the President and the President pushes back. How does the Senator Elect Webb respond ?
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 didn’t.
It makes you wonder how the Junior time bomb......I mean Senator will react to the egos of the World's Greatest Deliberative body.
