When a senator elect muses in front of public sources about slugging the Pres, I consider that a threat.

Unless said President is called Clinton.

Yes, Pedro, only those who serve in the military can offer any opinions whatsoever. John Kerry appreciates your vote in 2004.

It is fun to watch and see how many of these “brave”liberals actually ever lifted a finger in service to this country though.

And you, Bill?

I spent 12 years going to grade school and 4 years obtaining my degree.

And you, Bill?

LoL!

And you bill?

Notice your immature insults ignored.

When a senator elect muses in front of public sources about slugging the Pres, I consider that a threat. But perhaps you are not familar with our customs.

As for Webb’s turn as Sec. of the Navy, how is he responsible for sending people to their death’s? Did he start a war? Did he provoke an unnecessary confrontation and send others into harm’s way to clean up the mess?

Pedro, while commenting from the safety of his desk chair, calls Scott Ritter a strutting rooster.

Uh, yeah…

You know what they say…

all talk, no action

WHICH IS IT

I ask: “Which part is supposed to be the ‘rude’ part?”

Then Bush, because he wouldn’t want to be rude in response, would have to confess that they’ve been screwing around in Buenos Aires.

It might have led to an interesting discussion about who is actually making sacrifices and who isn’t.

Or: “My son just wants to come home.”

Or: “My son tells me that our mission failing.”

In other words, what if Webb answered the question directly and the president still didn’t like the answer?

Would you still be whining about civility, as if Webb had a responsibility to shield the president from his son’s true feelings or how his son was really doing?

asking “how’s your boy” is “impertinent” in quacker’s estimation…’nuff said

I will be amazed if quacker can post without using a question mark

Note the “echoing a campaign theme” and note Webb said ‘them’.
Exactly why is it OK for Webb to send young men and women to die and progressives love him but when Bush does it, its all horrible and its perfectly OK to threaten violence against the Pres. in response.

Why is the threat of violence OK? Anyboby??

“I’d like to get them out of Iraq, Mr. President,” Webb responded, echoing a campaign theme.

“That’s not what I asked you,” Bush said. “How’s your boy?”

“That’s between me and my boy, Mr. President,” Webb said coldly, ending the conversation on the State Floor of the East Wing of the White House.

What is it exactly that has everybody tut-tutting over Mr. Webb’s behavior? Which part is supposed to be the “uncivil” part?

So Mr. Cheney has no obligation to civility when he’s involved in a confronatation. He may be excused any profanities or insults.

Mr. Webb, however, is obliged to be civil when he’s confronted with an impertinent question. That form of civility requires him not only to avoid profanity or insults, but to restrict his answer to only what was asked.

Now do I have your position right?

the president asked a nice, concerned question, while leahy and the veep were haggling over either one persons good or bad religious behaviour or halliburton.

See one was polite conversation, and the other began as a confrontation.

Get it yet?

Just checking.
Rude: “I want them home.”
Not rude: “Go f**k yourself.”

Right?
