Jim Webb And George Bush: Spirited Conversation

Much has been made about the "conversation" which took place between Virginia's senator-elect Jim Webb (a Republican turn Democrat with a son fighting in Iraq) and President Bush at a lunch-reception for new senators. Glenn Greenwald discusses this here.

I, for one, am very pleased Webb refused for the "glamour" shot posed with Bush and for telling Bush he wanted his son home (as well as Webb saying he was tempted, yet did not, slug the president for his nasty "I didn't ask you that!").
