Jim Webb: Man or Mouse?

Senator Jim Webb, Democrat of Virginia, is now whining about the process in which he labored mightily only to produce mouse poop.  At a Bloomberg sponsored breakfast (Jim Webb: health-care law represents a leadership failure for Obama) the Senator cited President Obama’s lack of leadership for the abomination that is the Affordable Care Act, adding that there were, “five different congressional committees [that] voted out their version of health-care reform, and so you had 7,000 pages of contradictory information. Everybody got confused. … From that point forward, Obama’s had a difficult time selling himself as a decisive leader.” Well, duh.

He was confused and still voted for the law? If so he deserves the Dianne Feinstein Award offered annually for the dumbest vote by a senator who “voted for a bill but didn’t know it had ‘unintended’ consequences.”

But, he wasn’t “confused.” He is merely trying to salve his tattered reputation at home so that if the law is rejected by the Supreme Court his fingerprints will be blurred.

Webb noted that he voted for the bill and 12 Republican amendments that not only would have made it better, but that would have resulted in some bipartisan results.  Yet, even though each Republican proposal was rejected, Senator Webb nonetheless voted for a fatally flawed product, an act of cowardice or stupidity.

Perhaps he’s still dizzy from the whuppin’ Oliver North put on him in 1967 at the Naval Academy?!
