James Webb, Poseur.

I don't really blame James Webb. He is what he is; a silly little man thrust by polical forces and the media into a job that's too big for him. But he is where he is, and like Frankenstein's monster he is the creature of those who made him. In my case, the scrubs who run the Virginian Pilot.

So part of today's Investor's Business Daily is worth quoting:

We can't imagine the uproar if he had been an aide to a GOP senator. No doubt we'd have been bombarded with file footage of Columbine and every other mass shooting in memory. Instead we have stony silence from those who were happy to exploit Webb's position on the Second Amendment to get him elected.

Either they support his position or they don't. If not, where's the condemnation?

So far in the Pilot this incident has gotten a passing mention on the inside pages next to the auto ads. Of course we have to remember the Pilot motto: : "True to the Democratic Party in victory or defeat.")
