Bush acting stupid again/Jim Webb = Awesome

I'm also intrigued that we don't have the exact quote from Webb, but we do from Bush. 

Read the links.

"How's your boy?" Bush asked, referring to Webb's son, a Marine serving in Iraq.

"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.

Reading this, I would say that Webb is the one being a prick.  Bush asks him about his son, and Webb responds with a campaign slogan.

Webb replied that he'd like to see him come home, which is probably his son's feelings on the matter.

See, but that's not what he said.  He said "I'd like to get them out of Iraq, Mr. President."  He didn't respond regarding his son, he phrased it as a general policy point.  If he had said something like "I like to see him out of Iraq," that would have been more appropriate.

Or "He'd like to be out of Iraq".

Or anything that personalized it really.

Well, Webb isnt really playing politics. It's personal to him not just an election strategy of running against the president and meeting him and then being pals but one of running against his policies and seriously disliking him because he is wrong and it isnt just a game.

Run-on sentences are your enemy.
