"I didn't ask you that. I asked how he's doing." (Bush to Sen-Elect Webb, re: Webb's son in Iraq)

@ 07:17 PM (21 months, 1 day ago)

Accoring to The Hill, things got a little testy between Idiot Son Bush and Senator-Elect Jim Webb.

Bush asked Webb how Webb's son (serving in Iraq) is doing. Webb said "I just want him home soon" to which Bush responded "I didn't ask you that. I asked how he's doing."

Any President worth their salt might have responded to Webb by saying 'I understand sir. I want your son, and all of our troops, home soon as well.'

Instead, Bush in effect tells Webb he doesn't give a sh*t about him wanting his son back home soon.

Is George Bush even able to comprehend that Jim Webb is not just a politician?

He's also an American parent who wants his brave child serving in Iraq, home soon.

Son also rises in testy Webb-Bush exchange

  1. What kind of wuss is that Webb? He should of gave him an ear full when he had the chance.

  2. Exactly Dugg! I'm sure that come January, Sen. Webb WILL give Bush an earful, in the form of his votes on the floor of the Senate.

    But you know, I think this just demonstrates how little respect Bush has for our military families. This is proof that he could care less about our military families. He doesn't care that Webb, a parent with a child in Iraq, wants his child home soon. And he's not doing ANYTHING to help bring Webb's son, and all our armed service men and women, home soon.
