What Webb REALLY did...
and about goddam time, too...
let's hear it for somebody in a major elected office who, in remarkably restrained and civil fashion, says what needs to be said... let's hear it again for a columnist who isn't afraid to point it out...

It’s justice long overdue for a president who has so abused the symbols of war to get his comeuppance from a battlefield hero who personifies real toughness as opposed to fake toughness. Bush struts around with this bullying frat-boy attitude, and he gets away with it because nobody stands up to him. Bush could have left Webb’s initial response stand, but no, he had to jab back—“That’s not what I asked you.” Webb is not one to be bullied. He knows what real toughness is, and it’s not lording it over people who are weaker than you, and if you’re president, everybody by definition is weaker.
