My favorite line from last night's Jim Webb's "live blogging" at Daily Kos came in response to the following by "teacherken":
...so Webb himself is not actually responding... is Jim himself actually there, wherever you are (headquarters in Arlington, perhaps?). I would be interested in a direct interchange with the candidate. An interchange with a staffer is of less interest. Please clarify who is at the other end.
Webb's response? "It's me, dude." Ha ha, is this an instant political classic or what? Webb continued:
This is Jim Webb. The note at the bottom was to identify who asked me the questions.One thing I can guarantee you (as someone with a long history of controversial writings) is that I would not trust someone else to answer these questions, because I would, in the end, have to accept the consequences anyway!
As we say in internet lingo, I was sitting there "LMAO" (laughing my ass off) at that exchange. It was particularly funny since I was sitting right next to Webb as he typed at his computer keyboard. Yeah, it was Jim Webb alright, unless the man has a doppelganger or something. Come to think of it, a Webb doppelganger could come in handy - this is a big state, after all, and Webb is wanted pretty much everywhere. Maybe a few Webb clones could do the trick? Ha.
