thinkprogress.org — According to Moran, President Bush was told that Webb?s son had a recent brush with death in Iraq and was warned to be ?extra sensitive? when talking to the Sen.-elect: "Not only did Bush know about it, he was specifically briefed on the incident before meeting with Webb, and was cautioned to be extra sensitive in speaking with Webb about his son."

How much more sensitive could he have been, "How's your boy".

Gee, it's really hard not to see Bush as the worst President ever.We have 9/11, where he failed before (by ignoring multiple warnings from experts), during (where he did nothing at all), and after (by not changing the broken system and by almost immediately forgetting about Bin Laden).We have Iraq, where he failed before (by lying to the American public and by not bothering to plan) and during (by not bothering to react before and during).We have New Orleans where he failed before, during and after. We have Afghanistan, would would have thought we'd still be fighting -- and losing -- in Afghantistan almost *five years later*!We have the largest deficits of any country, ever, in the history of the planet. We have legalized torture, including people who we now admit were innocent who were tortured to death. We have a President who's proud of the fact that he doesn't believe the law applies to him.And then we have Enron, the anthrax attack, our collapsing power system, wiretapping, all problems that appeared on his watch and were screwed up like all the other things he ever touched.An impressively poor record.Exactly what good has Bush accomplished to offset this endless series of mistakes?

Webb has become such a liability to the Democrats and the people of Virginia that he's going to be a one term senator. By being rude to the President and making an ass of himself, Webb has failed to follow the party line of pretending to get along with the Republicans until the next Presidential election. Just look at how the Democrats treated Joseph Lieberman for failing to follow the party line of never telling the truth about what's happening in Iraq. Webb is finished as a Senator and he hasn't even been sworn in yet.

For Dubya, acting like an assh**e is being "extra sensitive." When he's not sensitive, he just sends someone to shoot you and blow up your house.

You'll have the President apologizing for taking a crap at this rate. Why don't you all deal with the hate you're so obviously consumed by. "How's your son?" is offensive. You'll never give this man a fair shake if that's offensive to you (and don't).
