[...] Yet, during all this, with opportunity to pile on, Jim Webb (D) did nothing of the sort. Don’t believe me? Let’s see what Jim Webb (D) has been up to the past week shall we? On Sunday, he had a fundraiser with fellow “fiction” writers John Grisham and Stephen King emceed by Gov. Tim Kaine (D). You can listen to it here. My hearing is going, but I didn’t hear any Macaca jokes. On Tuesday, Jim Webb (D) held a rally with former Sen. John Edwards (D) at Mary Washington University. Nope, no mention of n***. On Wednesday, the focus was on Iraq. You know. That war. And veterans. Sorry, the Klan didn’t make the agenda. And yesterday, the focus was on Sen. Georgie’s (R) support from Enron. Indeed, the only mention of any of these incidents by Jim Webb (D) was to (1) demand an apology for Siddarth, his volunteer, and (2) to show Sen. Georgie (R) has foot-in-mouth disease. Heck, Chris Matthews left him an opening THIS BIG on Hardball to pile on, but Jim Webb (D) refused. Don’t believe me? Watch it here. [...]

Let’s hope and pray they permit him to serve them.
