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.  It's very likely what he said was passive-aggressively telling the president to send home the troops now (or, at least if I were Bush, that's how I would have interpretted it).  I don't see anything particularly "nasty" from either side.

"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.

Then yeah.  That was more than passive-aggressive from Webb (who I still think will make a fine Senator).
