  • JIM WEBB WILL BE VICE PRESIDENT OF NOTHING: Ulster Scot fur-trading frontiersman Sen. Jim Webb has been a frequently mentioned vice presidential possibility for Barack Obama, because he is white and was in the Army for a while. Today, however, he effectively withdrew his name from contention in a statement about how much he luvs the Senate. This means Obama must choose him! [The Page]

    Looks like the Appalachias will have to wait some more for their Joshua.

    Hillary got to him. If I were Kathleen Sebilius, I’d be buying a vest right now.

    So Hillary gets to be VP by default then?

    ronaldpagan: No, Hillaryous gets the nod in Denver after Hopey’s next plane, the Buddy Holly Shuttle, goes down. All the way down.

    The Vice President is a state issue. Vote Ron Paul.

    So, was this about the books or the whole “Vaginas cause more friendly fire” thing?

    Jim Webb is too much of a badass to play second fiddle to an elite nancyboy like Obama.

  10. It’s a pretty good Sherman Statement, though he should’ve added something about ‘carry me back to old Virginny’.

    Does he still wear his kid’s boots???

  12. FreshCliches says at 7:36 pm, July 7th, 2008

    We still have about six and a half months for him to continually bitch slap Dubya. Webb knows where he’s needed.

    Webb may be bat shit crazy but he is also smart. He doesn’t want to be associated with a losing ticket. I predict a Clinton/Webb ticket beating President Romney (who will become president after John McCain suffers a heart attack in his first week in office) in 2012. (They can make Barry the ambassador to Djibouti–which means your mamma’s booty in Sudanese!)

    One down, two gazillion to go. I think it’ll be Vilsack. He’s not doing anything, and everybody likes Iowa. Well, almost everybody.
