Senator-elect Jim Webb's heated discussion with Bush

Credit to Phriendly Jaime over at West of Shockoe for this one. A disturbing look into just how much George Bush actually loathes the truth.

Check out this excerpt from the article describing a brief exchange between lame duck Bush, and Senator-elect Webb at a private reception at the White House for newly elected members of Congress:

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.

Wow, makes it seem like George Bush doesn't like hearing the truth about what's REALLY going on in Iraq. Maybe this is part of the reason why the country has slipped into civil war.

Jim Webb had no problem letting us know how he felt about the ignorant remark from Bush either:

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’s safe to say, however, that Bush and Webb won’t be taking any overseas trips together anytime soon.

Good to know that we've got a man representing us who's not afraid to say how he really feels. Too bad the article doesn't tell us how Jim Webb DID respond, though. Of course the White House declined to give any sort of response, and who can blame them? How could you possibly spin such a stupid remark?
